We booked Populus somewhat last minute after seeing the great reviews and loving the sustainability angle, and we were honestly blown away. We love a hotel with a strong point of view, but it’s rare to see a vision executed this thoughtfully and tastefully. We noticed all the little details — the hand-thrown pottery, the wooden room keys, the flower paper, the window seats, the uniquely shaped windows, the exposed concrete, even the way the bar is stocked. Everything feels incredibly cohesive and intentional. What especially impressed us is that the sustainability clearly isn’t an afterthought or just part of the marketing. You can see it woven into so many of the small decisions throughout the hotel, and it makes the whole concept feel really genuine. We loved the nature-harmonious, almost solarpunk aesthetic so much that we’re genuinely taking inspiration from it for our own home. And the staff absolutely matched the level of thoughtfulness in the design. Everyone was incredibly warm and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We’ve been lucky enough to stay and dine at some amazing places around the world, and Populus really stood out to us. It’s such a special place, and honestly just inspiring to see a hotel have such a clear vision and deliver on it all the way down to the smallest details. We were genuinely sad to leave and really hope to be back soon.

We booked a stay-cation here to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and overall we had a great experience. In particular, the customer service was a standout. When we first checked in, we noticed that the lobby and much of the hotel had a strong wood-smoke smell, including in our room (apparently it has to do with the restaurant on the top floor). I am pretty sensitive to smells, so we spoke to the team at the front desk, and they went above and beyond to resolve it. We were offered a new room, and they ran a strong air filter in the new room before we moved our belongings. The new room had no smell at all, and was lovely. We really enjoyed the rooftop bar (beautiful views) and coffee from Little Owl in the morning. The bed was extremely comfortable, and the hotel was very quiet. The architecture is super cool, and the hotel is carbon-neutral. Overall we enjoyed our experience, and we appreciate the team who went above and beyond to improve our stay.

I think it was such a wonderful experience! The rooms were all very clean and comfortable. The overall luxury it exudes from the very beginning of looking at it intrigues you. It intrigued me so much I had to make sure I booked at least one night before leaving with my husband. It was a wonderful stay the bar in the rooftop amazing! Our bartender was Addie I forgot his last name but he is a very charismatic individual. I was on the 10th floor and it was great! Knowing a tree is planted for the amounts of nights you stay is also so nice to know. Their rooms keys very fascinating! I’ve never seen a key like it and I wish I could’ve kept it. But honestly it’s worth a stay even for a night. Both me and my husband wish we could’ve stayed one more night but the one night was beautiful!

Populus Denver provided an exceptional luxury hotel experience with stunning modern design, outstanding hospitality, and a unique atmosphere that immediately stood out from other downtown hotels. The architecture and interior design throughout the property were absolutely beautiful, creating a stylish yet comfortable environment from the moment we arrived. The room was spotless, modern, and thoughtfully designed with high-end furnishings, comfortable bedding, and large windows that added to the relaxing atmosphere. I especially appreciated the eco-conscious design elements and the peaceful ambiance throughout the hotel. The staff members were friendly, professional, and attentive during every interaction, making the stay feel welcoming and personalized. The rooftop restaurant and lounge areas added even more charm with incredible city views and a relaxing social atmosphere. Everything throughout the property appeared polished, organized, and professionally maintained. This is definitely one of the most unique and memorable hotel experiences in Denver.

I was absolutely thrilled with my stay at Populus! The hotel is an all-around amazing vibe. From the ease of check-in to detailed touches like the water refill station on every floor, the lovely bathroom soaps, the comfortable bed, the room view....everything was perfect! Our room was very spacious and felt luxurious. We ate at the restaurant Pasque - definitely add to the list! They have a happy hour menu as well. In the mornings, we'd get coffees in the lobby and then enjoy on the rooftop, which is only open to hotel guests in the morning. Nice little touch. All staff members were so helpful and kind. Would 10/10 recommend for when you're in town in Denver.

Our second stay at Populos Denver. Our room wasn’t large, but well layed-out. I use a manual wheelchair and there’s ample maneuvering room and appropriate facilities. Staff is unfailingly friendly and helpful. Valet parking is expensive, but worth it given parking in downtown Denver. Location is great. Rolling distance to capital and Denver Art Museum. The two restaurants are very good. Lighter fare at night at the downstairs restaurant. A quarter alternative to the vibrant rooftop scene at the penthouse restaurant (which does offer excellent food, though). Lastly, the coffee bar in the lobby is worth a stop. Overall, top marks for Populos Denver. We’ll be back soon.

Enjoyed everything about our weekend staycation at the stunning and sustainability focused Populus Hotel. Beautiful interiors thoughtfully designed and very quiet. Excellent service overall. And both Stellar Jay and Pasque restaurants with their organic farm to table menus will leave you smiling. No complaints other than wish I could stay a few more days. Will definitely be back. Bravo!

Stunning architecture nestled in the heart of downtown Denver. You feel transported into a natural environment, staff friendly and approachable, eco friendly accommodations, water receptacles and glass ware. Cozy rooms, reading nook, great lighting. Plenty of shared pleasant space. Restaurant and cafe both very good. Outdoor seating, safe friendly beautiful environment.

Custom hotels like the Populus are interesting on their own. It’s fun to spend time having a coffee and studying the design and material choices. It was comfortable and cozy and a great spot to get breakfast. I got the eggs Benedict.

We had a 20 person, 1st anniversary celebration, Happy Hour down at the Pasque. There Happy Hour was super affordable and wonderfully elegant. The staff is kind, charming, and always bent over backwards for anything we needed. Both restaurants were delicious and memorable. The hotel room was OMG, GORGEOUS, welcoming, and just perfect. We plan to do every anniversary there till we die.
