"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."

"Very clean and quiet."

"Great Hotel"

"Lots of street people and highway noise but I felt safe in the facility. "

"Everything was perfect location good easy access to I-70 and I-25. Easy access to downtown, Thornton, Westminster. Rooms and linens were really clean. Front desk was great besides one young snotty blonde girl with glasses. I could’ve done without her attitude. Housekeeping is great. They offer you a free breakfast. Definitely going to be my go to place when I’m staying in Denver. "
