The most convenient arrival option is to fly into Montrose Regional Airport. The airport is serviced by major airlines including American, United, Southwest, and Delta. It offers some direct flights, but often has layovers in major hubs including Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, and Dallas. TSA screening often takes 30 minutes or less, but it is advised to arrive at the airport at least 1 hour before your departure time.
Grand Junction Regional Airport, located 1 hour 20 minutes north of Montrose, is an additional option for air travel. The airport is served by American, Delta, and United. We have traveled in/out of Grand Junction with no issues, but it is a bit of a (easy) drive through the desert.
Montrose has a variety of lodging options. For hotels, we recommend the Holiday Inn Express or the Hampton Inn. Both of these hotels offer shuttle services to and from the Montrose Regional Airport.
Most Montrose hotels do not provide shuttle services. If needed, please confirm availability with the hotel before booking your room.
For a more boutique experience look into the new Rathbone Hotel located downtown or local bed and breakfast establishments.
There are many Airbnb and Vrbo options too. We recommend staying in Montrose (at least the night of the wedding reception), rather than nearby communities such as Ouray or Telluride due to distance, curvy mountain roads, and wildlife at night.
We are working on securing a block rate room pricing, but have not had any luck...yet. We will keep you updated on if and when, we are able to secure block rate pricing.
Please let us know if you have any questions!
Montrose has car rental services available at the airport. Unfortunately, we have not had any experience with them. We have listed the car rental services with the best Google reviews.
