The Brown Palace Hotel Constructs a Luxury Spa
5,200-Square-Feet Devoted to Bringing Back an Elegant Amenity
DENVER, CO. (August 17, 2005) – Utilizing space that originally housed a spa in 1892, Denver’s Brown Palace Hotel is installing a modern, state-of-the-art spa, adding an elegant amenity for today’s discerning travelers. Construction has commenced and completion is scheduled for December 2005, it was announced by Armel Santens, managing director.
“Although this will be a wonderful amenity for the hotel’s guests, in today’s fast-paced world it is an essential component of the Four-Star, Four-Diamond experience,” said Santens. “As stewards of the 113-year-old Brown Palace legacy, we are carefully constructing a modern spa to reflect the elegance and style of Denver’s luxury hotel. That there was originally a spa in the hotel helps us remain true to the vision of founder Henry C. Brown,” he said.
The $2 million expense includes converting an existing 5,200-square-feet of space within the hotel to construct the new Spa. Denver-based Spa Strategy has designed the Spa, and Ivins Design Group served as architect. It is being constructed by Pinkard Construction. The Brown Palace Spa will be operated by the hotel.
The Spa comprising two floors will include a new elevator, separate street and lobby entrances, private couples’ and celebrity spa suite with dual reclining hydrotherapy tub, separate hair and nail salon, six massage and skin treatment rooms, and separate mens and womens locker rooms with relaxation areas, Swiss showers and steam rooms with aromatherapy. The gentlemens area will include a private treatment room, as well as headphones for the flat screen television. The décor will incorporate a natural rock waterfall, owing to the fact the Brown Palace has relied on its own artesian well with natural spring water since it opened in 1892.
The Brown Palace Spa has been in the planning stages for the past three years by the hotel’s management company, Quorum Hotels & Resorts. It will occupy the space on the lobby level from the front door on Tremont Place, wrapping around the building to the existing door on 17th Street. The lower floor beneath the lobby will comprise the second level, with a newly installed elevator connecting the two floors. The Brown Palace Flower Shop, previously occupying this space, has been relocated to the corner of the
sister property, the Comfort Inn Downtown Denver, also operated by the Brown Palace.
Completion of the Spa is expected by December 2005. The Brown Palace Spa will be open to the public and to hotel guests. Special packages will be available for both day-use, as well as overnight stays.
In 1892 when the Brown Palace first opened its doors, its brochure referred to the Spa in this way: “…Turkish baths here become more than a luxury. They are one of the ordinary conditions of life. Those designed for the ladies are open all day and when she leaves the bath, she finds her pathway to the drawing-room through the hairdressing, manicuring and chiropodist parlors. The Turkish baths for men are open day and night, and here, barber, manicure and chiropodist await the behests of the bathers…and the weary brain worker finds even the wrinkles of the soul smoothed away…” Now more than a century later, the same words will once again ring true.
Downtown Denver’s only Mobil Four-Star, AAA Four-Diamond hotel, the Brown Palace has been open every day since August 1892. It is a charter member of National Trust Historic Hotels of America, and is managed by Quorum Hotels & Resorts, a full service management company headquartered in Dallas.
