Find a Hotel
We have many hotel partners in the area from whom you can request a DU rate upon reservation, which typically results in savings.
Transportation Services
Make your way to DU campus using one of a variety of transportation options, from chartered buses to public transit. We highly encourage the use of public transportation via RTD given the RTD light rail station next to our campus, University of Denver station, which serves as a stop on the E, F and H lines that connect all across Denver. Getting downtown by rail is quick and easy, and you can even use it to get to and from the airport on the new A line, which leaves from downtown Denver's Union Station.
Once you arrive, you can walk across Buchtel Boulevard and walk south across the campus to University Hall, which is located just off S University Boulevard and E Warren Avenue.
More information can be found on the RTD Website
Ride Shares can also make navigating the city easier. Stay tuned for some promo codes prior to Family Weekend.
