Populus
Populus is a hotel in central Denver built with natural materials and plenty of daylight. The rooms offer views of the city or the mountains, and many have large windows with small benches underneath.
The hotel was designed to show a connection to the natural environment of Colorado, inspired by the forests and wildflowers of the region. The name and design reflect this idea, with a focus on sustainable practices.
The windows in the hotel are shaped after aspen trees, the kind that grow in the mountains of Colorado. The restaurants focus on plant-based cooking with open fire and regional ingredients, showing respect for the local landscape.
The hotel sits near Civic Center Park and is within walking distance of many Denver attractions. Parking is available, and staff are happy to give tips about the area.
On the roof sits the restaurant Stellar Jay, where dishes are cooked over open fire and guests can enjoy mountain views. Some rooms have rainfall showers that echo the feeling of a forest rain.
