Beautiful hotel, my only negative comment would be that the front desk should greet you when you step out of the elevators which is directly across from them instead of looking down and ignoring you

Nice welcoming place to stay in Seattle, close to attractions and great restaurants. Rooms clean, staff helpful. Ask for a room with a view, not the inside of the building. Bathroom has no hooks to hang anything. Bar upstairs pricey.

Had a brief but wonderful stay at Populus. Steps (or a 15min walk) away from all the great Seattle spots. The property is gorgeous and Zen-like with plants everywhere (watch out for the mosquitoes) and a beautiful library, music room, restaurant, cafe, rooftop—the whole property is impressive. Gorgeous detail in buildout, artwork, and furnishings, modern and clean but not cold at all. Outdoor elements meet a plush hug. Loved our suite with large bathroom (mild-pressured shower and no hook in the water closet for my robe were the only dings), high ceilings, wood beams and decor, and super comfortable bed, along with a clever nook near the window, all surrounded by trees. The little porcelain dish and intimate touches here and there felt personal and boutique. Lovely. Even appreciated the inlaid carpeting in the halls. Noise control and comfort! Brunch was delicious at Salt Harvest, rooftop at Firn was very busy (perhaps a glitch here in service as a result) but lively with great drinks. Don’t expect a bellman as you’re coming in, though seems like that’d be standard for the level of detail everywhere else. But we bussed our bags with a trolley and it wasn’t a deal breaker. Wish we had more time in this beautiful escape. Staff was very friendly, texted recommendations à la butler concierge service which was cool. Overall, an amazing and memorable stay, will definitely return to this relaxing retreat!!

Top tier service and environment. Populus balances a warm yet lively vibe. Everyone was exceptional from the valet, front desk, wait staff, baristas. The room feels modern yet warm. I love the details of greenery, wood. It’s a smaller hotel but lots of private room to chill, from a quirky library, side seats halfway up the lounge stairs, the cafe.

Guests were of all ages and types (leisure, travel). Highly recommended if you’re there to attend a sporting event but need a space afterwards to decompress.

Generally a very nice hotel, with lots of potential.

But.. the bed, which I think was only a year old was slumped/sloped to the edge. Toilet I had to repair...

Rooftop cocktail bar was v. nice.

Was pretty expensive so I would have expected pretty close to perfect for the stay. I thought it was pretty cheeky to only offer a cup of coffee with the stay. Feels a bit penny pinch and cheapens the freebie... Like put in a continental breakfast or nothing at all as it won'f feel like \"that's it -- for a $500 a night room I get a cup of coffee\" kind of thing.

Nice overall but not sure I will go back... value for money.

Wonderful location for all things Pioneer Square - well appointed rooms with nice linens and beds AND pet friendly. The in-room coffee situation, however, is pretty sad. Tea kettles and pour over packets in the room but the quality is awful and they are not super user friendly or fast. Drip coffee from the barista at the coffee stand is almost undrinkable and they don't open until 7am, which isn't great for us earlier risers. Do yourself and favor and drag yourself over to Zeitgeist if you want decent brew.

This is a trendy hotel in a vibey neighbourhood with superb staff. We loved the coffee shop and Firn rooftop bar. Spotlessly clean room.

We recommend a meal at 84 Yesler (7 min walk), a fantastic casual fine dining experience.

Unfortunately there were maintenance issues with our room. The AC was broken so the room was too hot, and the sink was clogged. We only stayed one night and arrived pretty late, and were too tired to change room.

To say I loved this hotel is an understatement. The atmosphere is phenomenal with greenery and art throughout the building. They even have a \"Nature Library\"! It's a very cozy place to read, chat with friends or explore the hundreds of books based on all things nature.
The bed was SOOO COMFORTABLE and who doesn't like a 15 square foot shower!?!
I can't say enough about the wonderful staff at the front desk, the restaurant and even housekeeping. So friendly and helpful.
With an easy walk the stadiums and the waterfront, will I be staying at the Populus again? Absolutely!

The Populus hotel is somewhat new, and already possessed of a staff that manages to be warm without being cloying, engaged without performing engagement. A rare thing, that.

The room, I should note, was not large. Manhattan has conditioned me to accept certain spatial indignities, but Seattle, one expects, operates under different assumptions. No matter — what the room lacked in square footage it more than compensated for with a bed of almost suspicious comfort, a bathroom that knew its business, and amenities that suggested someone with actual taste had done the sourcing. The coffee and tea were, refreshingly, not an afterthought.

The art, displayed throughout with evident conviction, is original work — not the usual exercise in inoffensive abstraction one finds plastered across the corridors of lesser establishments.

Practically speaking, the hotel sits in cheerful proximity to the train station and to whatever sporting cathedral the Seattles watch their fave sport. We shall, without question, return.
