10Best Says

Exuding romance and history with its striking architecture and design, the Brown Palace is as grand today as it was when it opened in 1892, the rich fabrics and 12,400 feet of onyx now enhanced by all the updates today's guests expect. The Brown is for all lovers, even ghost lovers who will find stories of the broken-hearted among the hotel's spirits. Lovers of the American West should visit during the annual Western Stock Show, when the grand champion steer takes tea here. The sumptuous spa, however, provides the ultimate for lovers with its candlelit couples massage and pampering treatments for men and women. Have the famous tea or indulge in a Sunday Champagne Brunch. For dinner, consider the opulent Palace Arms where couples can revel in each other and a lavish dining experience. Afterward, retire together to your guest room, where luxury sets the mood for romance.

Best for Bed and Breakfast Because: Not a traditional B&B but it has the historic feel. You'll have to book the Explore Brown Palace package to get breakfast with your stay.
