Great location downtown Denver. Interesting architecture and building materials inside and out. Appreciated the focus on "green" and sustainability. Room was on the smaller side but was clean, and liked the QR code option to leave tip for housekeeping. Enjoyed breakfast in the hotel restaurant. Only disappointment was we arrived late and the bar closed early. Would definitely stay again!

We had an amazing stay at Populus! We booked the Poplar Two Queen corner room, which was spacious and featured massive windows with an incredible view of the tower. Beyond the stunning biophilic design and the cool carbon-positive mission, the dining was a major highlight. The food at Pasque, the lobby restaurant, was absolutely excellent. The beds were super comfortable, the staff was welcoming, and the location is perfect. Will definitely stay here again!

The hotel looked neat and well-maintained. No hotel parking lot, we had a car rental and used valet service (later saw that there were public lots across the street that might be cheaper). Our room was small but suitable for the two of us, it was generally clean (the hot water kettle was questionable), the bed was comfy and the shower was decently spacious and had good pressure. The Owl Roost had very good coffee, we enjoyed breakfast at Pasque and late-night drinks on the rooftop patio at Stellar Jay. The staff were friendly, we interacted with the valets more than anyone else and they were great.

The room was so cute and cozy. The layout reminded me of Japan which was very pleasant for us. The bathroom was my favorite with cozy dimmable lighting and the shower was so comfortable. I especially enjoyed the view from our window. The pillows were fluffy and the staff even brought me an extra one after bringing me feminine hygiene products. The bar and the view were incredible with the view of the capital building and the city. We also really enjoyed the food from the first floor restaurant. I was unable to try the breakfast due to early morning commitments but I can’t wait to try at our next stay!
