2000 Annual Western
Division AFS Meeting
Telluride Convention Center
Telluride, Colorado
July 16-20, 2000
The groundwork is finished and affordable rooms are available to accommodate meeting attendees. So, whether you'll be staying alone, bringing your family, or rooming with a bunch of your close friends, there are plenty of rooms and options available. Plan ahead, book early, and enjoy the great accommodations Telluride has to offer.
To ensure your lodging needs are met, room blocks have been reserved through two property management agencies, Telluride Mountain Lodging and Telluride Resort Accommodations.
Rooms range from $80-90 and are reserved at the Mountainside Inn in downtown Telluride. This is within easy walking distance of the free gondola that provides transportation between Telluride and the Mountain Village and Telluride Conference Center.
For reservations call 1-888-728-1950 toll free, and be sure to mention you are with the WDAFS meeting to guarantee the negotiated price break. A deposit equal to one nights rate is required when booking, there is a $20 fee for cancellations 30 days or more before arrival date (no deposit refund if cancelled less than 30 days before arrival), and the Western Division reservation ends June 16. Rates are based on single/double occupancy, additional occupants are $20, and children under 12 stay free with their parents.
Rooms are reserved at several facilities in the Mountain Village near the Telluride Conference Center, and in downtown Telluride. This block consists of a variety of units ranging from hotel rooms to condominiums and prices vary accordingly.
Reservations can be made at the Blue Mesa Lodge and Condominiums in Mountain Village, at the Cimarron and Tomboy Lodges, in Telluride, and at various individual condominiums in Telluride. Prices range from about $75-$95 for single or double occupancy Lodge accommodations, and from about $150-170 for a two bedroom condominium that sleeps 4-6 people comfortably. Larger condominiums are somewhat more expensive but also accommodate correspondingly more people. For example, a large 4-bedroom condominium with room for 8-10 people ranges from $220-235 (about $20-30/person/night). Housing accommodations can also be arranged outside the blocked room group.
Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-538-7754 and referring to reservation #206897 to receive the 15% discount for stays of 4 nights or more. A deposit equal to the first nights rate is required and there is a $20 fee for cancellations 10 days or more before arrival date (no deposit refund if cancelled less than 10 days before arrival). Blocked rooms will be reserved through May 31.
