Populus was built on the idea that a hotel can be more than a place to stay—it can be a force for change. Every detail was designed to challenge expectations and reimagine what hospitality can be. Now, that vision is part of a global conversation. Populus has been named one of TIME’s World’s Greatest Places 2025. We're grateful to see this project recognized and excited for what’s ahead.

Opening a new hotel is about more than just bringing a vision to life—it’s about hearing how guests experience that vision in ways that are surprising and unforgettable. So reading early reviews and learning if we've hit the mark is a pretty momentous time for us. In a review for Afar following a recent stay at Populus in Denver, Bailey Berg not only captured our design and sustainability goals but, most importantly, the enthusiasm of our team. 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. We’re proud to be part of a growing movement where hospitality inspires and uplifts. https://lnkd.in/geW8ky_d #PopulusDenver #Sustainability #Hospitality #ApariumHotelGroup

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. With 265 rooms, elevated dining experiences at Pasque and Stellar Jay, and a deep connection to the spirit of Denver, our hope is that Populus becomes a destination for locals and visitors and sparks excitement for environmentally forward hospitality.
