The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa - Denver, Colorado

Address:321 17th Street
Denver, Colorado
Tel: (303) 297-3111

A much more graceful building to gaze at and admire is the Brown Palace Hotel, at 321 17th Street in LoDo. This is the second-oldest hotel in Denver, and since its founding in 1892 it has hosted many a famous person. Winston Churchill slept in the rooms, so did Shaquille O'Neal - and Elvis Presley once called it the best hotel in the world. If you can't afford a stay, you can still visit the lobby, with its massive fireplace supported by golden onyx pillars. The hotel offers private (and therefore a bit expensive) tours of the curious triangle-shaped building.
