Bailey described our associates as “earnest” and “endearing,” a testament to the genuine excitement and passion our team brings to work every day. It’s a beautiful reminder that a hotel’s true magic comes from the people who bring it to life. Read the full story below.

Introducing Populus—an incredible new addition to Denver that was only made possible by the collective vision and dedication of some of the most thoughtful and innovative minds in design, development, and hospitality. The iconic architecture, inspired by Colorado’s Aspen trees and designed by Jeanne Gang of Studio Gang, seamlessly merges with the nature-forward interiors crafted by Wildman Chalmers Design, LLC, creating a space where guests can reconnect with nature right in the heart of the city. And thanks to our remarkable partner, Urban Villages, Populus has become more than just a hotel—it’s a symbol of what can be achieved when creativity and sustainability come together.
