Staying at Populus Denver felt like discovering a sanctuary in the heart of the city. From the moment I arrived, the architecture set the tone—strong, intentional, and breathtakingly original. The entrance flows seamlessly into a lobby that feels both effortless and chic, where minimalist design meets an earthy warmth that instantly grounds you. Every detail, from the textures of the decor to the way natural light moves through the spaces, evokes the calm of a forest retreat while keeping you connected to Denver’s vibrant energy. The bedding was truly unforgettable—lush, inviting, and so cloudlike it felt as if I was floating into the best sleep of my life. The bathroom mirrored that same sense of quiet indulgence, with its open layout, elegant water spout, powerful water pressure, and thoughtful amenities. The culinary side of Populus was just as remarkable. The coffee was exceptional—crafted with the care of a true artisan, while the menu itself was minimalist yet purposeful, with every item prepared to perfection. The rooftop garden and Outlook bar brought the experience to another level, blending mountain views, fresh air, and refined flavors in a space that feels both lively and serene. For the price, the quality, and the location, Populus is Denver’s best hidden secret. More than a hotel, it is an immersion into design, comfort, and soul that redefines what it means to travel well.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Booked a stay for my husbands surprise birthday weekend. The front desk staff told us repeatedly that our truck could be accommodated by Valet parking yet valet said they couldn’t. So there we were, in downtown Denver with no parking options within 3 blocks and the front desk refused to point us in the direction of overnight parking. I was asked zero questions at check in and only asked for my ID and card booked with but not asked to sign anything. I was not given any information about the hotel or where things were located so we wandered around on our own. There is now a $128 charge pending on my card for god only knows what since I prepaid for the room and was never told there would be another charge. So now I get to dispute that. We get to the room and it is the smallest hotel room I’ve ever been in. There is no ice (NONE AT ALL IN BUILDING) and no coffee or tea in the room. Apparently the room key gets you in to some place here in Denver but I couldn’t tell you what because I wasn’t told by front desk but rather overheard from another guest. This place is overrated, WAY overpriced and lacks any customer service. I’m so disappointed that I wasted my money on a place I can’t park at and can’t even get ice.

Very cute- the room and hotel itself was very aesthetically nice- the room was tiny though. It felt more like a dorm. The lighting was so bad I had to do my makeup in the car. If you’re a man or woman who doesn’t need lighting to get ready then it’s worth it. You literally cannot see your face or hair to properly fix them up. They also didn’t have water bottles available for purchase anywhere which is a must for me while traveling. Valet was also extremely expensive at $66 a day.

Populus is beautiful and the attention to detail is amazing! Do not miss the rooftop bar with incredible views! The breakfast is amazing and I can’t say enough about the friendliness of every staff member I encountered. I have stayed in numerous nice hotels in downtown Denver and this will absolutely be my first choice from now on!
