Cool architecture

Fancy architecture and design. Clean room and excellent bathroom. Drawbacks: There was no space to put my suitcase, except the floor. The lighting around the mirror was insufficient. The valet parking was at $64 per night outrageously expensive, especially as the public parking lots in the vicinity charge $30 per day.

I was charged extra when I got to the hotel, hidden fees I did not no about and the room was extremely small, parking is not included and you have to pay 18 dollars on parked every time you leave the lot. NOT RECOMMENDED

This is a destination hotel. The surrounding area such as the park and grass area is beautiful. But the surrounding area of commerce is geared for a more mainstream visitor. In this area, the food was bland and sitting across from an H&M store was like being in any mall in North America. The hotel itself is gorgeous. The architecture and interior felt special because of its considerate design — we felt like we were staying in a sculpture. There is nothing generic about The Populus. Food and drink menu feel elevated. We would definitely stay there again. Rooftop is fantastic and gives you a beautiful panoramic view of Denver. Traveling outside of the neighborhood, Larimer felt unique and offered a special view of Denver with good food and small shop options.

A modern masterpiece with trendy amenities such as soaps and lotions. We fell out n love with the shower wash and ordered some as soon as we were home. Well stocked fridge and snacks. The restaurants are excellent - no reason to leave "home". The hammock window is fun, but not really restful - but a cool +! Great downtown Denver vibe!

We thought Populus was a great option for a Denver visit. The Convention Center is a very short walk from the hotel. The staff in the restaurants were very knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms were well appointed but efficient. The rooms had everything you would need for a comfortable stay . With 2 restaurants and a coffee bar, food options were plentiful. I would definitely stay again.

What a great property! So close to everything in downtown Denver -- we dropped the car with valet and didn't need it again until we left. So walkable. The coffee bar is amazing, and we love that it was open early! The staff were very attentive and just pleasant -- helped us get into a fun mood for a great weekend getaway. Loved the dinner we had at Pasque too, and their cocktails are worth a visit alone. Come and check this hotel out!
