WHO WE AREHotels done differently. At Aparium, we believe in the power of People, Place and Character. We ensure our hotels are a place where individuals are valued and celebrated, elevating our associates’ pride in who they are, where they live and who we serve. Our hotel is a tribute to the neighborhoods and the people of the communities where we operate.Opening itself to the city and to the Rocky Mountains beyond, Populus is designed to become an energetic new social center in downtown Denver. Located on a prominent corner site, the building greets the neighborhood equally on all three sides, welcoming visitors and residents and connecting Denver’s civic, arts, and commercial districts. With its bold facade and inviting arched entrances on each side, Populus establishes a lively and welcoming new destination in downtown Denver. The hotel will be home to two signature food and beverage outlets, a ground floor restaurant and rooftop bar. The thirteen-story building includes 265 guest rooms, mezzanine meeting rooms and breakout spaces, a state of the art fitness and wellness center, and a commitment to sustainability and community unmatched by any other hotel in Denver.The hotel is managed by Aparium Hotel Group. Founded in 2011, Aparium is driven by the belief that all hospitality experiences should be fueled by the poetics of their surroundings and was born with an intense focus on unearthing the amazing moments unique to every city. Since its founding, Aparium has grown into a new kind of hotel brand, one that ventures off the beaten path, both geographically and philosophically. Recognized by Travel Leisure World’s Best Awards as a leading hotel brand, Aparium is known for its singular ability to combine the business acumen of large hospitality companies with the charm of boutique hotels, bringing the disparate forces together in bustling, smaller markets.WHO YOU AREYour past experiences have led you to understand that there is an art science to the how and what a hospitality professional is responsible for; not all remedies can be outlined in a training manual or found in a recipe book. You see hospitality not as a career choice but a calling. When you’re not working, turning it off is not easy. When you go to dinner, you love a poetic menu spiel, notice a water spot on a glass from across the room, and appreciate the unseen details that create an exceptional experience. Most of your favorite memories are probably engaging in some witty banter with your service team in the side station or tasting Chef's new dish standing over a trash can in the kitchen. You pride yourself on educational and inspiring pre-shifts, a well-run door, and serving your team as much as your guests. You relish the painstaking details of planning a perfect event and revel in the adrenaline fifteen minutes out from the start of a VIP reception.You are a self-starter and appreciate you are given the opportunity to build the business plan and take that responsibility seriously. You enjoy the "business" side of your role and enjoy teaching others what you know. You know every line item in the P&L and understand the levers to impact them.You are highly self-reflective and take lessons learned and best practices with you to apply them in your daily actions.
