Populus Seattle

WINNER

Populus Seattle is a carbon positive boutique hotel that connects guests to the Pacific Northwest through biophilic design and art, seasonal culinary, and a commitment to put the health of the planet first. Housed in a thoughtfully restored 1907 building in Seattle’s storied Pioneer Square, the hotel blends historic character with a modern, nature-inspired aesthetic—where exposed brick, Douglas fir beams, and lush greenery create an immersive urban-meets-rainforest experience.

The 120-room property is as much a cultural hub as it is a hotel, anchored by an evolving 300+ piece art collection celebrating regional artists and dynamic culinary outlets, including Salt Harvest, a hearth-driven restaurant, and Firn, the neighborhood’s first rooftop bar, where menus reflect seasonal, ingredient-driven cooking.

As the country’s second carbon positive hotel, Populus Seattle plants a tree for every stay and operates with 100% renewable energy—offering locals and travelers a stay that is both meaningful and environmentally forward.
