Populus Seattle is an EXCELLENT stay located in the Pioneer Square neighborhood of Seattle. While Populus opened in Spring 2025 and is extremely clean and hip, the hotel is set in a structure originally built in 1907, which adds a unique vibe to the space. The entrance really unites you with the outdoor space of the PNW as you pass by trees and plants in the entrance of the hotel and foyer. There is a nature library, which we stopped into each morning and enjoyed while sipping the amazing tea and coffee they offer guests. The front desk was amazing, as well as valet. Our room was awesome- with extremely hip vibes. It was much more than a place to lay our heads at night, but allowed us to feel connected with the area. Extremely clean, beautiful room with clean bathroom attached. The hotel is located in walking distance of multiple restaurants, bars, shops, activities/sights. Additionally, Seattle was extremely bike friendly, of which we took advantage! Parking was valet and had no issue. Front desk attendant hailed us a cab one day, which we were super appreciative of! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Loved the populus would stay again. Valet parking was a little pricey. Like the option of the restaurant and bar rooftop. Up hill walk to pikes place. Have a nice walk in historic old town Seattle. Great distance from a lot of tourist attractions and also you can zip up to the coast or national parks as well

Frontal desk person did not mention security deposit and what is amount of the deposit, instead asked for "authorization signature. So, I signed without knowing for what amount. Next, I ordered taxi for 5 30 am to airport. It did not come.Person from frontal desk let me know that it oicked up somebody e km so in diffwrent place. So, I had to order 2nd time. As a result it arrived at 5 48am instead of 5:30. Next, front desk peson at the begining rejected to pick up my cases from the room to the lobby even for tip. He was agree only when I asked him second time.

The hotels looks very beautiful and the staff was very attentive but they are navigating active newborn hiccups. The room was tiny… which is fine, it took them several tries to bring up a bottle of bubbles that had been pre-ordered and easily could have been inside the room prior to check-in. The bar was beautiful and made great drinks. The food was satisfactory although my hasselback potato was not cooked through. As a constant traveler the thing that matters most to me is attention to detail. I left my fancy electric toothbrush in the bathroom, it was never recovered. I alerted them within hours of leaving but no avail. I think they will get there but until then I will stick with my tried and true Seattle spots.
