  • About 0.6–0.9 miles from Union Station depending on route (supplier distances list 0.9 km to Union Station).
  • Good choice for guests who plan to explore downtown on foot or use RTD services.

Pick Kimpton Monaco for maximum walkability to downtown attractions and the convention center.

Rooms: historic suites vs boutique guestrooms

The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa – Rooms

  • 241–243 rooms across nine floors, including Grand Suite, Presidential Suite, Beatles Suite and Top of the Brown rooms (renovated).
  • Room styles range from Classic Room, City View to one‑bedroom and corner suites; many rooms emphasize city views and historic details.
  • In-room Wi‑Fi typically carries a nightly surcharge unless waived for loyalty members.

Kimpton is the simpler, boutique option with modern fittings and a smaller, more compact room set.

Dining & drinks: multiple formal venues vs one main restaurant

The Brown Palace Hotel and Spa – Dining & drinks

Dining at The Brown Palace is varied, spanning formal French‑inspired meals to a long‑running nautical steakhouse and daily Afternoon Tea.

  • Palace Arms — French-inspired fine dining (prix fixe, dinner Tue–Sat).
  • Ship Tavern — American seafood/steakhouse serving lunch and dinner with piano on weekends.

  • Panzano Restaurant serves hotel guests and downtown diners; full breakfasts are available for a surcharge.

  • The Spa at The Brown Palace offers six treatment rooms, couples' suite, separate steam areas and signature treatments.
