Hotel
A block of rooms has been reserved for wedding guests at The Populus (Esquire's 2025 Hotel of the Year). You can book using the Bass/Scott block via the link below. When the link opens, it defaults to a one-night stay from the 18th to the 19th. You can use the calendar icon in the bottom corner of the check-in and check-out windows to choose your desired length of stay. This is the hotel at which the shuttle for the wedding will arrive / drop-off. This doesn't mean you have to stay here, you'll just want to be cognizant of timing for the shuttles since they will leave promptly for the wedding at their designated departure time. We've provided other hotel suggestions below, if you choose to not stay at The Populus. Some fun facts about The Populus: ARCHITECTURE: An instantly recognizable symbol of Colorado, the Aspen tree (Populus Tremuloides) informed the hotel’s biophilic architecture and distinctive window shape, which draws from characteristic patterns found on the tree’s trunks. INTERIOR DESIGN: Populus’s interior took inspiration from being within nature, to create spaces that have a subtle beauty and sense of calm and surprise. ART: Just as Aspen trees interconnect through their roots to survive, resilient communities include artists, musicians, chefs, community builders, thought leaders, and environmentalists for mutual support. Their art collection, curated by environmentalist Katherine Homes, showcases artists who embrace this ethos, creating pieces that narrate our deep connection to each other and nature. SUPPORTING THE PLANET: For every night you stay at the hotel, The Populus plants a tree - via their One Night One Tree Program.

Hotel
This hotel is in Cherry Creek. Cherry Creek is a beautiful area with tons of shops and walking distance to Cheesman Park. It's close to Downtown, so you'll have to take a quick Uber to The Populus to grab the shuttle. That being said, this hotel is very close to the After Party (so you could walk home from there).

This is a very nice, boutique hotel located in RiNo. It sits atop the famous Death & Co Bar and has a great rooftop. If you're looking to stay in the "scene," this would be it. You'll be walking distance to the Welcome Party, and a quick Uber away from The Populus to grab the shuttle.
