WHO WE ARE
Hotels done differently. At Aparium, we believe in the power of People, Place and Character. We ensure our hotels are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated, elevating our associates’ pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve. Our hotel is a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities where we operate.
Opening itself to the city and to the Rocky Mountains beyond, Populus is designed to become an energetic new social center in downtown Denver. Located on a prominent corner site, the building greets the neighborhood equally on all three sides, welcoming visitors and residents and connecting Denver’s civic, arts, and commercial districts. With its bold facade and inviting arched entrances on each side, Populus establishes a lively and welcoming new destination in downtown Denver. The hotel will be home to two signature food and beverage outlets, a ground floor restaurant and rooftop bar. The thirteen-story building includes 265 guest rooms, mezzanine meeting rooms and breakout spaces, a state-of-the-art fitness and wellness center, and a commitment to sustainability and community unmatched by any other hotel in Denver.
The hotel is managed by Aparium Hotel Group. Founded in 2011, Aparium is driven by the belief that all hospitality experiences should be fueled by the poetics of their surroundings and was born with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to every city.

Recognized by Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards as a leading hotel brand, Aparium is known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.
