The Brown Palace Hotel, now The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection, is a historic hotel in Denver, Colorado, United States. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the second-longest operating hotel in Denver. It is one of the first atrium-style hotels ever built.[2] It is now operated by Highgate Hotels and Resorts, and joined Marriott's Autograph Collection Hotels in 2012. The hotel is located at 321 17th Street between 17th Street, Broadway and Tremont Place in downtown Denver behind the Republic Plaza. The main entrance door is on Tremont Place. The Brown Palace Hotel, now The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa, Autograph Collection is member of Historic Hotels of America, an official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, since 2023.[3]

History

[edit]

The hotel was built in 1892 of sandstone and red granite,[4] one year later than the Oxford Hotel. It was named for its original owner, Henry C. Brown, who had homesteaded the Capitol Hill area,[5] and was designed with its distinctive triangular shape by architect Frank Edbrooke, who also designed the Oxford Hotel. The interior and the exterior of the building are considered to be the "finest extant example" of Edbrooke's work.[6]

Built with an iron and steel frame covered with cement and sandstone by the Whitehouse & Wirgler Stone Company, the building was "one of America's first fireproof structures, according to a May 21, 1892 cover story in Scientific American." Upon its completion it was Denver's tallest building.[7]

In the early 1930s Colorado muralist Allen Tupper True began discussing the possibility of creating two murals for the hotel with then owner Denver financier Charles Boettcher[8] and after some delay the two works, Stage Coach and Airplane Travel were unveiled in the hotel's lobby in 1937.[9]

In 1935, as a celebration of the Repeal of Prohibition in the United States, Denver architect Alan Fisher designed "Ship Tavern"; one of four restaurants inside The Brown Palace.[10]

Annex

[edit]

The 22-story, 231-room tower directly across Tremont Place was built as a new wing of the hotel in 1959, known as the Brown Palace West.[11] For many years it operated as a budget wing of the hotel, until the Brown Palace's owners branded the guest rooms in the annex as a Comfort Inn in 1988, and then as a Holiday Inn Express in December 2014.[12] The lower levels of the tower are shared with the Brown Palace, including the Grand Ballroom and executive offices. The tower is connected to the main building by a skybridge over Tremont Place and a service tunnel running under the street.

The Western White House

[edit]

Teddy Roosevelt, who previously dined at the Brown Palace as governor of New York in 1900,[13] became the first sitting American president to visit the hotel on May 8, 1905.[14] The occasion was marked by a banquet during which more than five hundred quarts of champaign and 1,500 cigars were consumed.[14] Roosevelt himself is reported to have led other guests in a boisterous rendition of “There’ll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight.”[14] Since then, nearly every American president has visited the hotel.[15]

Dwight D. Eisenhower frequented the Brown Palace throughout his life and used the hotel's second floor as headquarters during his 1952 presidential campaign.[14][16] During his presidency, Eisenhower spent enough time at the Brown Palace for it acquire the moniker ‘The Western White House.’[17]

When the 23rd G8 Summit was held in Denver in June 1997, the Brown Palace hosted the U.S. delegation's main headquarters and was referred to as ‘White House, Denver.’[14][18] The hotel’s Gold Room served as a temporary Oval Office for President Bill Clinton,[14][19] while the Onyx Room became a venue for meetings with Russian President Boris Yeltsin,[20] French President Jacques Chirac, and Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi.[20][21] However, the nearby Denver Central Library served as the summit's primary meeting space.[18]

The Brown Palace was also a headquarters and important meeting place for delegates and presidential hopefuls when the city played host to the 1908 and 2008 Democratic National Conventions.[22][23][24][25][26]

Murders of 1911

[edit]

The hotel was the site of the high-profile 1911 murders in which Frank Henwood shot and killed Sylvester Louis "Tony" von Phul, and accidentally killed an innocent bystander, George Copeland, in the hotel's "Marble Bar." Henwood and von Phul were rivals for (or shared) the affections of Denver socialite Isabel Springer, the wife of wealthy Denver businessman and political candidate John W. Springer. The murders culminated in a series of very public trials.[27][28][29]

[edit]

In Joan Didion's 1977 novel A Book of Common Prayer, the narrator, Grace Strasser-Mendana, lives at the Brown Palace after her parents' deaths.

The hotel features in the 2017 Jane Fonda and Robert Redford film Our Souls at Night.

It features in the time travel novel “Warm Souls” - Part 2 of the “Wealth of Time” series by Andre Gonzalez. The Brown Palace is featured on many of Denver's cultural tours.[30][31]
