Location and Contact Information
Travel Information
Air
The closest airport to Boulder is Denver International Airport (DEN), which is approximately 45 miles from Boulder.
If you do not live near a hub airport, your best option for getting a non-stop flight to Denver is on United, Frontier, or Southwest airlines.
Ground Transportation
There are several options to get to Boulder from the airport:
- RTD Bus service, Skyride AB Bus is $9 (cash only) each way. There is a train from the airport called University of Colorado A Line, but it does NOT go to Boulder. It only goes to downtown Denver. Do not take it if you want to go directly to Boulder.
- Green Ride Boulder is $32 each way to the hotel.
- Boulder Super Shuttle is $33 each way and drops off at the hotel.
- Taxis cost roughly $90 for a one way trip.
- Car rentals are available at the airport.
Linked are driving directions for taking the E-470 Tollway ($8), or I-70 from the airport to the hotel. The tollroad is quicker and has less traffic than I-70. Most rental car companies have toll passes in their rental cars so toll charges will be paid through the rental agencies.
