1. Attractive, striking design all over the hotel --lobby, restaurant, guest rooms. Striking. 2. It's been open ca. 4 months; still some problems. The power-shades on the windows don't work. A lamp kept flashing on and off. There's zero instruction in the room for using various gadgets; there's a remote control unit that shows numbers from 1 to 15; no indication what this is for, or what the numbers mean. 3. The room is dark, even with the (dim) lights all on. 4. We reserved a mountain-view room. The front desk announced that we got an "upgrade" --to a room with a view of the parking lot.

We loved the design and view from the Populus. Front desk staff and valets were really nice and helpful. My husband hit his head on a door and they got him ice, checked on him later, etc. They gave us 2 coins for free cocktails even but our waiter upstairs took them but then charged us for the cocktails (that was the only thing we didn't like). We would stay again.

The front desk, they’re amazing. The valet they’re amazing. The fact that I got charged $1000 to my credit card after I booked through Expedia and no one called and told me that they did it , or that they were going to fix it …or the fact that my husband and I were refused to take coffee cups to our room by the baristas… pretty much got accused of stealing… Or maybe the fact that they didn’t offer any remedy for these situations. Like I said they didn’t even call me and tell me my credit card was charged $1000 on “accident” They just “refunded” which by the way hasn’t happened yet either. Paying an extensive amount of money for 2 nights and then having this happen is just crazy. Absolutely no. Just no. What a mess. I’m so disappointed. I thought the “refund” in the notes was because of our experience not because they messed up and charged my card without even telling me.

Overall this was the best hotel I’ve stayed at in Denver, it’s very unique, upscale, and the architecture is out of this world! The location of the property was perfect for the activities that we were doing such as going to see the Broncos game and Denver basketball ball game. I do wish they had their own parking not just valet because parking in the parking garage then walking back is not the safest. And for both of the restaurants I hope they add more to their menus. This hotel is a 9/10! Totally would recommend

Beautiful hotel with a wonderful rooftop bar. Staff were all exemplary. Room facing Colfax Ave. was too loud with traffic noise. Food and drink was overpriced even for a unique "local" experience.

architecturally interesting. still working out the kinks with personnel and customer relations. we had issues with noisy hvac and sewer gas odor. management didn’t show concern with the noted issues and offered a free coffee in exchange for the inconvenience. hopefully as the staff gains experience and can own responsibility the hotel will match its potential.

We went here for the unique architecture and beauty. It was beautiful for sure. My ONLY complaint was the sustainability preaching. Felt like woke virtue signaling and that's not why we went. But super pretty rooms, comfy beds, gorgeous views and convenient location. Worth spending a night there for sure.

Keep in mind this is minimalist and eco friendly. Don’t expect a lot of towels or bottled water in your room. But it’s immaculate, the restaurants and rooftop are gorgeous and it’s a cool place to stay. Also, needs a bit more lighting. Again, it’s eco friendly.

Food was amazing. Reserve!! Or you won't get in. Close to 16th mall. Walkable. Very quiet. The staff was above and beyond!! I travel A LOT for work.This was a perfect little get away for the husband & I. You don't have to leave the hotel for anything if you just want to escape. This will be a new favorite spot on the list.
