After 74 years, the historic Brown Palace hotel is closing its Palace Arms restaurant. The regal restaurant tucked in the lobby of the downtown Denver hotel will hold its last dinner service on Saturday, May 4, and be closed until further notice, according to Brown Palace general manager Jana Smith. Smith said this is not a permanent decision, but one “based on business needs.” “Fine dining is more of a luxury than a necessity right now, and we’re not seeing the turnout we’d prefer to have to make a profit,” she added.
