    I felt excluded from the roof top bar. It seemed exclusive, even though we had paid to be at the Populus.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Beautiful hotel, staff were fantastic … beautiful rooftop bar with great drinks and very fun atmosphere! We will definitely be back!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Delightful staff, wonderful amenities and items for purchase to drink and nibble, with the most comfortable bed we have slept in, made this one night stay a wish for lingering!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    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

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    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.

    The room wasn’t clean. There was a smell of mildew.

    Great stay

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Loved the hotel. The location was great. My wife and I attended the Mariners game that night so the proximity to the stadium was perfect. We will definitely stay again.

    The hotel couldn’t have been in a better location. The rooftop bar was awesome!!!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    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!!

    Very unique hotel with great vibes. Staff are great and the whole experience was amazing. Highly recommend and we’ll be going again for sure.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We were in Seattle for the World Cup and just for the location alone, I would have given this hotel 5 starts, but the hotel itself was fantastic as well. Beautiful, clean, easy to get to from the airport.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Good location, good front desk staff

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    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.
