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 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!

Pros: Super nice staff, two restaurants and a coffee counter on site. Shower was surprisingly bigger than a standard stand up. They provide Grown Alchemist brand shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotion. Was pleased to see a decent brand, known for being a pretty “clean” line. Cons: The standard queen room is tiny. There is no dresser, the closet is small, desk is nightstand sized. The entry is black, making it difficult to do make up, contacts, etc. There was a lighted mirror but again very small space.
