Transit Tips for Denver International Airport (DEN)
Inside the Terminal vs Nearby Always verify if a hotel is "Landside" (before security) or "Airside" (after security). Airside transit hotels require you to have an onward boarding pass for the same terminal and do not allow you to collect checked luggage.
Free Airport Shuttles Many hotels surrounding the Denver International Airport perimeter operate 24-hour shuttle buses. Be sure to check the frequency with the front desk, as some run strictly on a 30-minute schedule while others require you to call upon arrival at the pick-up zone.
Airport Logistics & Tips
Why Stay Near DEN?
Denver International is located 25 miles from downtown Denver—one of the most distant major airports from its city center in the US. While the A Line train makes the journey relatively painless (37 minutes), the airport's remote location in the plains east of the city means staying nearby can make sense for specific situations.
For travelers with early morning departures, late arrivals, or those heading to the mountains early the next day, staying near DEN is practical. The Westin Denver International Airport is the only hotel inside the airport, connected directly to the terminal. Other hotels cluster along Tower Road with shuttle service.
DEN is a major United hub and gateway to Colorado's ski resorts. If you're catching an early mountain shuttle to Vail, Breckenridge, or Aspen, an airport hotel puts you closer to the departure point.
