Welcome to Book It!, our monthly look at a buzzy new hotel or resort we're excited about.

Being eco-friendly is more than oat milk lattes or clean beauty dupes on TikTok. Now you can sprinkle some green in your travel plans too — and we’re not talking about hiding a houseplant in your carry-on.

What to Know:

Book yourself a guilt-free getaway at Populus, Denver’s new it-spot and the first carbon-positive hotel in the U.S.

Designed by the boundary-pushing Studio Gang, Populus is where sustainability meets serious style. Think reclaimed wood, a mushroom-based leather alternative and elevators with Colorado forest sounds. The 265 rooms keep it fresh, too — pet-friendly digs, Grown Alchemist toiletries and sleek, minimalist vibes.

When hunger strikes, start at Pasque for Instagrammable small plates before heading upstairs to Stellar Jay, the rooftop spot where cocktails meet jaw-dropping views.

Sustainable luxury never tasted — or looked — this good. Mother Nature would approve.

Rates start at $299, book here.
