The Brown Palace Hotel & Spa in Denver has completed the renovation of the hotel’s Top of The Brown Suites, the three Presidential Suites, Palace Arms, as well as various meeting spaces and the Club Lounge.
With these multimillion-dollar upgrades, crafted by Forchielli Glynn, The Brown strikes a balance between conservation and transformation. The Top of Brown Suites originally debuted in 1937 at the height of the Art Deco era. Today, the style is still fully embraced but modernized for 21st century guests. No two suites are alike, and all 38 are located on the upper floors and tucked away from the hum of the Atrium below.
Inspired by the Grand Parisian Salons of the 1930s, the guestrooms have new plush tufted headboards with tall columns of drapery and textured Chanel-suit-inspired upholstery. Top of The Brown rooms have rounded corners, glass block walls, poured terrazzo flooring, stepped details on the wood bases and in the hallways, with streamline-style graphics on the entry doors. In addition, each closet has a geometric back wallcovering, reminiscent of a honeycomb, paying homage to the hotel’s rooftop bee colony.
The Brown Palace also recently announced the reopening of the refreshed Palace Arms with new interiors. Though refreshed, Palace Arms maintained its Napoleonic décor and historic artistry, now with the chair upholsteries borrowing from the rich reds and blues of the Napoleonic era flags.
