Conference Hotel & Transportation Information

:: IMPORTANT HOTEL UPDATE! ::

Due to the strong response to Open Dialogue XI, the conference hotel, the Magnolia, is now sold out. Our overflow hotel, the Hampton Inn & Suites, is also sold out. We know there are rooms at the Burnsley Hotel, which offers free shuttle service to the conference hotel, is located in a nice area very close to the downtown area, is all-suites, has free parking, and has a pool. Please use Kayak.com, Hotels.com, Expedia.com, or other online resources to look for available hotels during the Open Dialogue XI conference. A number of hotels outside the Downtown Denver area are located close to light-rail lines and bus lines. If you have any questions about hotel locations, please contact us at TAAC@westaf.org, and please be sure to visit Denver's central public transportation company, RTD, for information on bus and rail schedules, at RTD-DENVER.com. If you are interested in finding a roommate to split hotel costs during the conference, please send a message to TAAC@westaf.org.

There are also several bed & breakfasts near downtown, each of which is a short cab ride away from the conference hotel:
Adagio Bed & Breakfast
Queen Anne Bed & Breakfast (light rail station 2 blocks away)
Castle Marne Bed & Breakfast
Capital Hill Mansion Bed & Breakfast Inn
The Holiday Chalet, A Victorian Bed & Breakfast
Lumber Baron Inn & Gardens, A Bed & Breakfast
