The Beaumont was one of the first hotels in the country to be wired for alternating current electricity. It had guests such as Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Herbert Hoover.[ citation needed ] The hotel closed in 1964 due to declining tourism in the area. For over 30 years the hotel sat empty, boarded up and in disrepair. At one point part of the roof collapsed and more than once the building was considered for condemnation. The hotel was sold in 1998 and was restored, its multiple rooms combined into a more spacious arrangement — the large hotel building now has just 12 guest rooms. It reopened in 2003.
The architectural style of the hotel is a mix of Victorian, Queen Anne and French Second Empire with a slate Mansard roof. Contrary to popular belief, the Beaumont hotel is not a replica of Brown Palace in Denver. In fact, The Brown Palace was not built until after the Beaumont.
