Aspen Lodging/Travel

Book lodging at the Aspen Meadows (located on the Aspen Institute campus) by simply reserving your room(s) when you register online for your Socrates seminar. Rooms at the Meadows start at $350/night. If you have questions about accommodations, contact Lu Duong at 202.736.1497.

If you prefer a room off campus, contact the Institute’s travel agent, Dennis Evans, with Aspen Ski Tours, to find lodging that fits your needs and your budget. Dennis can be reached at dennis@ski.com or 800-332-7736 ext 282. Book your lodging early. Socrates seminars take place over long weekends during peak season in winter and summer.

Aspen Ski Tours is also available to work with you to book flights in and out of Aspen. Please book flights early, as seats grow harder to come buy as Socrates approaches. Contact Dennis at dennis@ski.com or 800-332-7736 ext 282.

Socrates Seminars coincide with the busiest seasons for programming in and travel to Aspen, promising heavy passenger traffic. If you encounter difficulties, inquire about air service to Eagle Airport in Eagle/Vail, which is serviced by United. Eagle is an hour and a half drive from Aspen and easily accessed with the help of Colorado Mountain Express. Socrates seminar participants receive a discount, with rates for the roundtrip running about $90. Contact Lu Duong at 202.736.1497 if you are interested in sharing a ride from Denver.

If you require shuttle service from either the Denver or Eagle airport, please contact Colorado Mountain Express at 800-525-6363 or visit www.cmex.com for more information. Mention that you are with the Aspen Institute and you will receive a discount.

Private Jet Service. If you care to travel by private or chartered jet, please contact Perfect Jet Travel (www.flyperfectjet.com) at 800-232-JETS or Sentient Jet (www.sentient.com) at 800-480-6217.
