"Very nice hotel in downtown Denver with a nice outdoor pool, although high buildings mean that the pool is in shade for some of the day. Good but very expensive breakfasts. Likewise, very nice bar and restaurant (the dry aged tuna steak was amazing!) "
"Absolutely charming. Room was delightful. And the staff was superb -- shout out to Annalise!! Gorgeous, 19th century bar on premises, lots of nooks and crannies to curl up in."

"Great hotel with walking distance to many main attractions. Staff was super nice and helpful, we appreciated water was always available and the warm fresh cookies at night 😋 loved! "
"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."
