Getting Around
RTD (the Denver bus system) and SkyRide from the Airport to Downtown
Public transit via city bus from Denver International Airport to downtown Denver is called the RTD Skyride. The route you need is the AF route. It costs $8 one way and takes about 50 minutes (roundtrip advance purchase is a good bargain for $14). The website URL with schedules is: http://www.rtd-denver.com/.
At the airport, board the Skyride RTD bus on the west side of the terminal at Island 5, outside Door 506. Or you may board from the east side of the terminal outside Door 511.
Get off the bus at Market Street Station in downtown Denver. Then catch the free downtown 16th Street Mall shuttle located at the south exit of the Market Street Station. Ride the shuttle eastbound, 7 blocks, to California Street.
The Marriott City Center is one block north of that stop, at 1701 California Street.
