Arriving by Air
You can fly into Denver International Airport (DIA) or Eagle County Regional Airport (EGE), and we’ve included information about both below. If you’re planning on renting a car, we recommend flying into DIA because the drive to Vail is absolutely gorgeous. If you’re not renting a car, you can still fly into Denver and catch a ride with Epic Mountain Express or another ground transportation provider (see Ground Transportation To/From Airport).
DIA (www.flydenver.com)
Vail is located approximately 100 miles west from Denver and about 2 hours from DIA. All major airlines service the DIA daily, including:

ACCOMMODATIONS/LODGING
There are multiple hotels we suggest exploring during your stay and at this time, we do not have a room block at any, so please choose what suits you best.
Four Seasons Vail:

This is the site of our Reception and the most luxurious option. This hotel is exquisite and in the heart of Vail.
Lodge at Vail

As our Wedding Ceremony is hosted by Vail Resorts, who owns the Lodge at Vail, you do get a small discount on rooms here. Please note many rooms are owned individually so room decor and updates vary.
Reservation Method:
• Call In Reservations. Please call 855-953-0197 and follow
the prompts to your chosen resort of The Lodge at Vail. Please mention Group Code SVLSSW26 or the Saxon/Stevenson Wedding
Grand Hyatt
https://www.hyatt.com/grand-hyatt/en-US/egegh-grand-hyatt-vail
The Grand Hyatt is a beautiful hotel near the Stevenson residence in West Vail, but it is a 10+ minute walk to Vail Village or a free shuttle ride into town for the Ceremony and Reception.
Highline West Vail
This hotel is in West Vail and will require a rental car to drive to wedding events ( approx 3-5 minutes) or a bus or taxi ride.
If exploring AirBnB's, we recommend booking within Vail or Lionshead Village so you can easily access the hotels and weekend events. The public buses in Vail are great, and being on a bus line guarantees you easy access to all wedding activities!
Houses in West or East Vail will need a car to access the weekend events.
