Populous is an experience (in every imaginable wonderful way). The staff is attention but not intrusive, the property is a feast for the senses, the rooms are comfortable and both aesthetically and functionally very well thought out. Clearly, there was an extraordinary amount of attention to design detail in every aspect of the experience (room accommodation, dining, public spaces). The aural and olfactory ‘enhancements’ in the elevators was a pleasant surprise. The dining options are conveniently located on the property. While the menus are limited, all dining options promise an incredibly thoughtful culinary experience All in all, a wonderful property.

Our stay here was a lot of fun! It was clean comfortable and a unique experience. They have valet parking otherwise you will need to park in a garage separate than the hotel. The restaurant / bar stellar jay on the rooftop is an experience you will not want to miss. Service is impeccable. We sat at the bar and the gentleman behind the bar were very entertaining. You need to try the bread service. Also the Alaskan and chocolate chip dessert was a wonderful way to end the evening. You won't want to miss the views off the balcony of the city at the end of the night. If you plan on visiting either of the restaurants you will want to make reservations. For some strange reason the only part that didn't seem to quite fit was the coffee shop in the lobby. The staff seemed a bit moody (gentleman who wore a mask and a beanie. Also, there was a young woman who was there on the evening of 4.26 ). Service everywhere else in the hotel was wonderful and I would not hesitate to revisit. The movie theater/ shopping it's just a quick walk which was nice.

An easy 30-40 minute drive from the Denver airport, valet service. Unique rooms with beautiful views of the mountains and historic buildings. Two wonderful restaurants, and many more in a short walking distance.

Design A+... hospitality D-

This is not a luxury hotel in Denver. The design is pretty awesome, but that is where the positives end. The staff is beyond arrogant. We had 5 of us that wanted to go the rooftop bar for a drink at 430pm. We were made to wait at the hostess stand in the lobby for 15 minutes while they did something... not sure what. Finally, they said "okay, go up" and let us in the elevator to the 13th floor. We got up there, and the place was empty while the hostess in the lobby made it sound like it would take an act of Congress to get us in. It was so over the top with the hostesses making us feel like we were bothering them and that they were doing us a favor. Secondly, when I got in my room I immediately called down to ask where I could get some ice. Was told they have to bring it to me. I was like great - please send it up as I want to get a bottle of champagne chilling before my fiance got there. 45 minutes later still no ice, nothing. I called down and they said "we will send some up"... 20 minutes later nothing. I went down and they said the young man was on his way - come on... over an hour to get ice. No hand soap in the sink area at the vanity. No coffee creamer for the kettle and coffee. I could go on... Head's up, the rooms are small if two people are staying in the room. Overall - design hit the mark, but the lack of experience or care where hospitality is concerned was a huge miss.
