The Populus Seattle will open its doors in late spring 2025 in Seattle, largest and most populous city in the U.S. state of Washington and in the Pacific Northwest region of North America located on Puget Sound, a complex estuarine system of interconnected marine waterways. a very captivating centre surrounded by mountains, evergreen forests, water, boasting thousands of acres of parkland, highlighted by several cultural attractions, world-class museums, art galleries and home to a large tech industry, with Amazon and Microsoft headquartered in metropolitan area.
The new hotel is a transformative adaptive reuse project that breathes new life into the 1907 Westland Building, designed to reflect Seattle's ecological richness while honouring its urban heritage.
The estblishment is developed by Urban Villages, a property management firm located in Denver, Colorado known for its philosophy to create places that endure and inspire through a holistic approach to building and design, a group highly recognized in the United States and internationally for integrating sustainability into real estate development.
The property is managed by Aparium Hotel Group, a firm based in Chicago, Illinois, pioneer in the lifestyle hotel industry, managing individually unique, awe - imspiring, award - winning independent hotels and inspired by the concept of "trans - local hospitality", with a desire to provide an important catalyst in the resurgences of many great American cities.

The hotel’s design elements, interior spaces, curated art and rooftop gardens draw from the region's landscape, material and textures, aiming to provide a balanced atmosphere where sustainability and aesthetics meet.
Populus Seattle is situated in the vibrant RailSpur District, named for the railways that once ran through the area, encompassing three historic warehouse buildings in Pioneer Square, Seattle first neighborhood, within the historic Westland Building, that has stood at the intersection point in Seattle's bustling waterways and rail network for over a century.
The establishment is situated a walking distance of major cultural and transportation hubs, including Pike Place Market and the cruise terminal, making it an attractive option for both international tourists and locals.

The hotel achieves this through a combination of adaptive reuse, carbon offset strategies, renewable energy usage, and innovation in waste reduction, such as its use of BioGreen360 technology for food composting.
