Air Travel

Telluride has an airport (airport code TEX) located ten minutes outside of town that serves private and small commercial planes. Flights into Telluride are limited, so plan your air travel early. Other airports in this region of Colorado include Montrose (MTJ), located 1.5 hours north; Grand Junction (GJT), 2.5 hours north; and Durango (DRO), 2.5 hours south. Ground transportation companies serving these airports include Mountain Limo (970-728-9606) and Telluride Express (970-728-6000). Telluride also offers a booking service to help you select the best available air travel; call Telluride Air Desk at 877-727-8885 for more information.


Lodging

Objectivist Conferences has negotiated special pricing arrangements for conference attendees at several facilities in Telluride and Mountain Village. Attendees should book lodging directly with these facilities (or any other lodging of their choice). The group code for conference rates at all facilities is OCON 2007, and reservations must be made by telephone to receive our conference rates. Resort fees and taxes apply at all locations, and all locations require payment prior to arrival; verify rates at booking. Cancellation and refund policies vary by location; ask for details when making your reservation. Please note that the rates shown below are not guaranteed. Make your lodging reservation early to secure your best rate.

IMPORTANT: The lodging choices listed here are those with whom we have arranged discounted rates for conference attendees, but there are many other places to stay in Telluride and in Mountain Village. One major facility—The Peaks—may be closed for renovations throughout the summer, so we do not recommend making reservations there. We expect very high attendance at Objectivist Summer Conference 2007—make your lodging reservation early!

Colorado law does not allow smoking in or within 15 feet of any public places including restaurants, bars and hotel rooms.

ROOMMATE PAIRINGS: Single attendees who prefer having a roommate to help reduce their accommodation expense may contact Objectivist Conferences for assistance. We will attempt to pair you with another guest and will notify you so that you and your roommate can contact the hotel or lodge of your choice to make reservation arrangements. We cannot guarantee accommodation of roommate choices and are not responsible for making sure matches are suitable.
