I will start by saying that I really wanted to like this hotel. The property itself is lovely and quite nice, but there are some major operational issues to iron out. First, housekeeping. They were on our floor as we visibly exited but for some reason never refreshed our room. Returning a few hours later and seeing this, we called the front desk to request Housekeeping to come by the room. After returning again several hours later, housekeeping still hadn’t come to the room. Ultimately, a tired-looking staff member knocked on the door and just handed me a stack of linens. Second, the restaurant.

Room was smaller than it looked in pictures. Staff at Pasque was a bit rude and had an air of superiority...for what reason, not sure? At checkout valet left our car "around the corner" so we had to haul our luggage about 1/2 a block to our car1

Although the hotel was lovely, I was very frustrated to be charged an additional $57 for an 'amenity fee' which I'm told includes wifi and water. I don't feel that was made clear with the booking.

This was one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at. It’s still pretty brand new, I happened to be there during its one year anniversary. The hotel was extremely clean and very quiet. The room and views are absolutely amazing. I like the carbon-positive feel and its focus on the environment. The hotel commits to planting a tree for each night a guest stays. It is in the heart of Downtown Denver and the staff are extremely friendly.

I absolutely loved my stay at the Populus Hotel in Denver! The location couldn’t be more convenient — right in the heart of downtown, close to parks, museums, and great local attractions. The architecture is stunning; the building’s design feels modern and nature-inspired, with beautiful touches that make the whole space feel unique and relaxing. The amenities were wonderful — from the cozy, thoughtfully designed rooms to the great common areas and eco-friendly details throughout the property. I especially enjoyed the restaurants on-site — the food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. And the rooftop was the highlight of my stay! The views of the city and mountains are incredible, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind with a drink at sunset. Overall, Populus exceeded my expectations. It’s a beautiful, comfortable, and convenient place to stay — I can’t wait to come back!
