I was raised in a country town called Las Cruces, New Mexico, had family and many visits in Phoenix, Arizona, and visited the Hotel del Coronado when my family lived in Southern California. I love articles about the old and new West.

I grew up in San Diego and many a time as a child we drove past this beauty. I'm not sure if I was more impressed with the building itself, or how it sat at the edge of the beach. Thanks for sharing.

I love old hotels and lodges. I actually wrote the Brown Palace into an historic western story of mine. I spent time looking it up and learned Brown Palace was the first hotel in the west to have an elevator. It also had running water in the rooms. I didn't know about the tunnels leading to the brothels though!!!Patti Sherry-Crewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07239195135892487184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-51547054407665582152016-12-13T09:06:58.325-06:002016-12-13T09:06:58.325-06:00Sarah,

I've been to all of them except the Brown Palace Hotel and they're all still wonderful properties to get a bit of rest and relaxation, along with a bit of an old west ambiance. I hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday!!

I see authors are drawn to these resorts to find peace (and a whole lot of elegance and service) to write their plays and stories. Well gee, I think I could use some of that. Just imagine living in such a place for a while to write while people bring you stuff and make your bed. I Sarah J. McNealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749991094677728042noreply@blogger.com
