"Due to low guest counts and revenue, we will be closing Palace Arms indefinitely after the dinner service on May 4, 2024," read the internal email.Which came in handy if you were a fan of that era, since you couldn't"dine amongst Napoleonic artifacts and elevated decor" at the Palace Arms.
Construction started in 1888. Edbrooke had designed the hotel in the Italian Renaissance style, using Colorado red granite and Arizona sandstone for the building’s exterior; for further outside embellishment, artist James Whitehouse was commissioned to create 26 stone medallions, each depicting Colorado animals, according to the Brown's website.
But even as dining habits changed, so did the ownership of the hotel. The Silver Panic of 1893 sent the country into an economic tailspin, and in 1900, Brown sold his palace to millionaire Winfield Stratton. Stratton died a couple of years later and passed the title to a charitable home. Boettcher bought the hotel in 1922, and the title passed to the Boettcher Foundation in 1963.
That was an internal memo, but Smith repeated much the same explanation on May 1, when the notice that the Palace Arms was closing"until further notice" appeared on the website."Fine dining is more of a luxury than a necessity," she said."We're hearing it from our sister properties as well. The good news is we kept everyone on the team and were able to fit them into another spot."with two weeks' notice. One had been there over forty years.
The Ship Tavern had gotten a facelift a few years ago; now it will get a new menu from executive chef Kim Moyle that will give it more of a New England flavor, Smith said."We're trying to branch out, trying to bring in not just our generational clients, but the younger crowd."Even the traditional tea in the lobby, already a hit with all ages, is getting a twist: On the 13th of each month, it's a Swift-Tea, with pianist John Kite playing Taylor Swift's hits.
