Where should I stay in Denver?

How do I get downtown from the airport?

You have a few options to get to downtown Denver from the airport:

  • Train - Take the RTD train “A” line from the airport to Union Station in downtown Denver. It takes about 37 minutes from the airport to Union Station and it’s $9 each way. (The conference venue is about 7 blocks from Union Station. Marriott SpringHill Suites provides shuttle service within a 2 mile radius of the hotel. Call Marriott SpringHill Suites to request their shuttle.)
  • Taxi - A taxi is $55 (one way) from the airport to downtown.
  • Lyft or Uber - Both Lyft & Uber operate in Denver.

Does the conference venue have wifi?
