The Westin Denver International Airport, 8300 Peña Blvd Denver, CO, Denver, Colorado
About This Festival
This year, the DIWF moves to the newly opened Westin Hotel at The Denver International Airport. This grand and modern hotel offers 519 guest rooms, 35 suites and a 37,500 square foot conference center. Similar to the on-site Hilton Hotel at Munich International Airport, the Westin DIA is just a short stroll from airline check-in counters and security.
Beginning on April 22, 2016, a new light rail train system will connect the DIA's new transportation center and the Westin Hotel with Union Station in Downtown Denver, facilitating travel to and from the Westin even more. Transit time will be just under
thirty-seven minutes, and the cost is just $9 per day. The Westin Hotel DIA will offer special Denver International Wine Festival rates starting at $149 per night.
