Denver's most famous and recognizable hotel has been around since 1892. Its superbly designed exterior facade is a landmark of beauty, but fails to prepare the imagination for its stately interior of Victorian charm and old colonial flair. Its downtown location and luxurious accommodations have made it a favorite of celebrities and politicians since the late 1800s. Almost all of the United States presidents since Teddy Roosevelt have stayed at least one night in the Brown Palace, as have Elvis Presley and the Emperor of Japan.
