America’s pioneering carbon-positive hotel, Populus, is now open for reservations ahead of its launch in Denver, Colorado, later this summer. Set to welcome guests starting in September, Populus is ushering in a new era of sustainable hospitality with its impressive eco-friendly initiatives and luxurious amenities.
Located in the heart of downtown Denver, steps away from the Colorado State Capitol, Populus offers 265 well-appointed guest rooms, two inviting restaurants, versatile event spaces, a rooftop bar, and a cozy lounge with a coffee bar. Managed by Aparium Hotel Group and developed by Urban Villages, this innovative hotel is designed to exceed the expectations of modern travelers.
Populus sets a new standard in environmental responsibility by aiming to be carbon-positive. This means it will sequester more carbon than it emits over its lifespan, thanks to a strategic focus on reforestation efforts and agricultural collaborations. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability extends to its construction and operation, employing sustainable design practices and materials to offset carbon emissions at every stage.
In partnership with One Tree Planted, Populus has already contributed to planting over 70,000 trees in Gunnison County, enhancing biodiversity and aiding in the recovery of areas affected by beetle infestations. This reforestation effort not only benefits the local ecosystem but also solidifies the hotel’s commitment to making a positive impact on the environment.
Mario Tricoci, CEO and founder of Aparium Hotel Group, expressed his excitement about Populus’s role in transforming sustainable travel: “Populus is set to become a landmark destination for discerning travelers and a source of pride for Denver residents. With our dedication to exceptional service and our commitment to the environment, we aim to create a space where guests can connect with nature, the community, and each other.”
Book your stay at Populus to experience the future of travel—where luxury meets sustainability in the heart of Denver.
