This property is new and unique for it's nature friendly design. Many people were seen touring the hotel on Monday as we were preparing to leave. The design mimics trees, and has a lot of natural materials featured. The elevator includes bird sounds. Be aware there is not a parking lot, but you can get valet parking. The staff were a little snooty in general, but we did have friendly staff for checkin and morning coffee. The valet/bell staff were not very attentive and service was spotty. Would be good to welcome new guests with baggage and offer to assist to get the bags to rooms and point them to checkin. There was a popup concert next to the hotel for 2 of the nights that we were there. The noise was so bad that we couldn't sleep. The rooms are basic, offering standard amenities. Water was available to fill your own bottles on each floor, but no ice. Price was average. Location was a bit removed from where we spent our time.

The hotel was amazing but honestly there was an EDM concert until 10 pm and my room physically shook from the time I checked in until 10pm. It’s not really the hotels fault but it was not enjoyable being in the room

As someone who travels extensively—leading tours and lecturing at five-star venues worldwide—I can say that Populus exceeded every expectation. I was initially disappointed to be bumped from the official conference hotel due to overbooking, but I quickly realized it was a blessing in disguise. Populus was exceptional in every detail, from service to atmosphere. I even extended my stay an extra night to soak in the ambience. Highly recommended—especially from the perspective of a guide for luxury cruises and high-end resorts!

Great Denver stay

Highly recommend for a Denver stay. Walkable to theaters, convention center, and lots of things to do. The rooftop restaurant was great. The room was quality, stylish, and comfortable. The natural theme was well executed.

Populous is an experience (in every imaginable wonderful way). The staff is attention but not intrusive, the property is a feast for the senses, the rooms are comfortable and both aesthetically and functionally very well thought out. Clearly, there was an extraordinary amount of attention to design detail in every aspect of the experience (room accommodation, dining, public spaces). The aural and olfactory ‘enhancements’ in the elevators was a pleasant surprise. The dining options are conveniently located on the property. While the menus are limited, all dining options promise an incredibly thoughtful culinary experience All in all, a wonderful property.
