Frequently asked questions
Yes, most hotels let you add rooms if more guests commit, subject to availability. With a courtesy block you can usually increase until the cutoff date; with a contracted block, additions follow the agreement and are approved by the hotel. Open a block with at least nine rooms, then track RSVPs. Couples typically reserve 10-20% fewer rooms than their guest list predicts. Ask about a waitlist, nearby sister properties, and whether the hotel can hold a few on a space-available basis for late deciders.
Yes, many Aurora hotels offer event rooms for welcome drinks, rehearsal dinners, or a farewell brunch. Properties around Gateway Park/Tower Road by Denver International Airport and along I-225 often have flexible meeting rooms, patios, and on-site bars or catering partners. Ask about capacity, noise curfews, and whether outside vendors are allowed. Some hotels add perks like welcome bag delivery or extended check-out when you book rooms and an event space together, but availability and fees vary by property and date.
Yes, but boutique options in Aurora are limited. Most inventory is branded select- and full-service near Gateway Park/Tower Road, the Anschutz Medical Campus corridor on I-225, and the Southlands area, which puts guests near dining and C-470. If a small, design-forward feel matters, ask about renovated wings, suites, or independent properties with fewer keys. You can also split the block-keep rooms in Aurora for convenience and place a boutique overflow in nearby Denver if needed.
Book 9-12 months out for Aurora, earlier for June-October and major holiday travel. Demand jumps with DIA flight peaks, youth tournaments at Aurora Sports Park, and graduations at the Anschutz campus, so prime weekends can go quickly. Courtesy blocks hold space until a cutoff, often 21-30 days. Contracted blocks carry deposits and attrition, and may include perks like suite upgrades, welcome drinks, free parking, or extended check-out. Lock dates early, then adjust counts as RSVPs firm up.
Guaranteed blocks are contracted with deposits and attrition, while non-guaranteed (courtesy) blocks hold rooms temporarily without payment until a cutoff. Courtesy blocks are flexible but release at the cutoff, so rates and inventory can change. Contracted blocks offer firmer control and may include concessions like welcome bag delivery or extended check-out. Hotels generally require at least nine rooms to open a block.
