We loved our stay at Populus! This is a gorgeous, modern hotel! We stayed in a standard King with our small dog, which was admittedly a bit cozy, but it was very comfortable! I really appreciated that there were bowls with a plastic mat, and a dog bed in the room, along with a personalized card recommending dog friendly places to go in Denver! The roof top bar is a must for stunning views and a delicious drink, and Little Owl cafe has tasty coffee and excellent pastries! All of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! If we ever return to Denver, we know where we'll be staying!

Populus is beautiful and the attention to detail is amazing! Do not miss the rooftop bar with incredible views! The breakfast is amazing and I can’t say enough about the friendliness of every staff member I encountered. I have stayed in numerous nice hotels in downtown Denver and this will absolutely be my first choice from now on!
