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.

Our stay here was a lot of fun! It was clean comfortable and a unique experience. They have valet parking otherwise you will need to park in a garage separate than the hotel. The restaurant / bar stellar jay on the rooftop is an experience you will not want to miss. Service is impeccable. We sat at the bar and the gentleman behind the bar were very entertaining. You need to try the bread service. Also the Alaskan and chocolate chip dessert was a wonderful way to end the evening. You won't want to miss the views off the balcony of the city at the end of the night. If you plan on visiting either of the restaurants you will want to make reservations. For some strange reason the only part that didn't seem to quite fit was the coffee shop in the lobby. The staff seemed a bit moody (gentleman who wore a mask and a beanie. Also, there was a young woman who was there on the evening of 4.26 ). Service everywhere else in the hotel was wonderful and I would not hesitate to revisit. The movie theater/ shopping it's just a quick walk which was nice.
