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. Thank you, Travel + Leisure for the exclusive first look: https://lnkd.in/gpJWxVAu A genuine thank you to everyone who helped bring Populus to life through passion and collaboration.
