elegance of brown

Brown is the least preferred colour of autumn, and yet that was expected to be the more predominant one this year due to our very dry, hot summer.  So, here is a more elegant Brown.

The Brown Palace Hotel located in the heart of downtown Denver has been offering old world elegance to travelers, business people and celebrities since 1892.
It boasts one of the first atrium style lobbies which rises eight stories with balconies of cast iron railings and ornate grillwork.  
Afternoon Tea in the Grand lobby is a cherished tradition that continues to this day ($65 and up)

However, I like brown. And of course I'd like to visit this lobby --although it is a bit expensive, to be honest.

My brown view is here.

That must be some height, I like ornate cast iron railings.
