The Populus - beautiful plants and flowers adorn the entrance, clean modern vibes inside. The rooms are spectacularly clean, dark and moody, and well designed. The free cup of coffee in the morning while looking out at the city is a highlight. The staff are friendly and welcoming. Great stay!

PERFECT HOTEL! Loved everything about my 2 night stay. The decor, the comfortable mattress, high end bed sheets, rooftop bar, Aesop bathroom soap, friendly staff, amazing breakfast buffet and coffee, quiet room. Literally, not one bad thing to say. I travel a lot for work and stay at a lot of different hotels. Populus is perfect. Will be my go to hotel every time I am in Seattle!
