"The Brown Palace High Tea The tradition of afternoon tea is refreshingly alive and well atDenver's Brown Palace Hotel. The atrium lobby of this 1892Italian Renaissance Revival hotel is alone worth a visit: The soaring stained-glass ceiling, the ornate metal rails along the balconies, and the grand staircase make quite the impression.Formal tea service is accompanied bylive harp or piano music. The ritual, complete with a range of teas to choose from, as well as scones, finger sandwiches, andimported Devonshire cream, will have you raising a pinkie to tradition. Reservations are recommended, especially around the holiday season."
