For the last month, the spread of the highly contagious COVID-19 has been closing down businesses and schools and bringing life as we Coloradans know it to a complete stop. While many of our favorite restaurants and shops have been out-of-business for weeks now, the iconic Brown Palace Hotel just followed suit and closed its doors for the first time in its history:
Opened in 1892, the swanky Brown Palace in Denver is a long-standing Colorado tradition, thanks to its luxurious rooms and amenities, tea room, and - until recently - for literally NEVER closing its doors.

Thanks to the incredibly contagious coronavirus, the Brown Palace has decided to lock its doors to the public, citing the safety of guests and employees alike.

Between both the Brown Palace and its recently-closed sister property (the Holiday Inn on Tremont Place), there are an estimated 340 employees, with only 15 (mostly in sales and engineering) keeping their jobs amidst the pandemic.

Since its opening, the Brown Palace has been one of the most easy-to-recognize places in all of Denver, thanks to its distinct Italian Renaissance Revival architecture that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Thanks to its beautiful rooms and world-class amenities, the Brown Palace has hosted numerous dignitaries and celebrities as well, including The Beatles, Queen Marie of Romania, and Presidents Bill Clinton, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan.

While the Brown Palace’s re-opening date has yet to be determined, General Manager Nick Moschetti told the Denver Post that he hopes to see the famed hotel open within a matter of weeks (versus months).
