About us

Since 1892, The Brown Palace has been Denver’s landmark for gatherings of significance. Events unfold in rooms where murals crown the ceilings, fireplaces warm the atmosphere, and natural light fills spaces designed with intention. Nineteen venues provide more than 30,000 square feet of possibilities, including a 5,800-square-foot ballroom accommodating up to 400 guests in banquet style. Six dining experiences within the hotel—from the celebrated tradition of Afternoon Tea beneath the atrium to award-winning cuisine and one of Denver’s only cigar lounges—add variety and originality to every program. Here, meetings are elevated by more than service and space. They carry the weight of legacy, placing every occasion within the story of Denver’s most enduring hotel.

Guard and Grace
Guard and Grace
multi-city
Named after the chef’s daughter, Guard and Grace is a take on the big, fancy, modern steakhouse – miles and miles of fiery grills and charcuterie, oyster bar and bar tops, private rooms, and a posh, walk-in, floor-to-high-ceiling glassed wine cellar – yet still, with more of a bright, airy playfulness than the usual dark, stiff, mano a mano atmosphere. Guard and Grace Denver, Chef Troy Guard’s most ambitious restaurant to date, opened in early 2014. It’s a spectacular 9,000 square foot space, located in the heart of Downtown Denver’s business center on the street level of the 56-floor Brookfield Building. Only to be outdone by itself, Guard and Grace Houston, opened November 2019, is even bigger; fitting for its Texas location. Guard’s first venture outside of Denver, Guard and Grace Houston is situated in a 15,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed structure on the ground-level of the newly renovated One Allen Center. Prime, certified Angus, local grass-fed and Wagyu cuts of beef in 4 to 22 oz. portions appeal to multiple appetites, from a light bite to ravenous; and fresh seafood, charcuterie, artisanal cheeses as well as vegetarian selections offer something for everyone. With thousands of bottles in temperature-controlled wine cellars, Guard and Grace can meet nearly any need.
