The Palace Arms opened its doors in 1892. Granted, more than a century is a long time to carry on culinary excellence, but the task is achieved gracefully and winningly here. This elegant restaurant is a treasure of history and gastronomy. Located on the ground level of the Brown Palace Hotel (see), the majestic Palace Arms dining room has a unique Western charisma, with rich wood, brocade-upholstered seating, wood shutters, and 17th-century antiques. Just as refined as the atmosphere is the delicious International cuisine, prepared with regional accents and served with impeccable care. The Palace Arms offers guests a rare opportunity to dine in historically opulent surroundings on a menu of magnificent fare--as well as the chance to taste the oldest known blended cognac, which dates back to Napoleonic times.
