The exterior of the Romanesque Brown Palace Hotel, designed by Denver
architect Frank Edbrooke, is of red granite and sandstone, but it is the interior that is spectacular. A stained-glass ceiling admits natural light to the eight-story atrium. Pale golden onyx from Mexico was used for the pillars and wainscoting. More than 700 ornate grillwork panels line the atrium from the third to the seventh floor.

Awesome relatively unknown jewel. I can't think of a hotel with architecture to equal The Brown Palace.
