WESTERN COLORADO
Grand Junction is the largest city on the state’s Western Slope. Surrounded by mountains, rivers, canyons, and high desert, the area provides access to more than 1.5 million acres of public land, creating a setting where meetings easily extend beyond the agenda.
With thousands of miles of trails, easy access to the Colorado National Monument, and a strong cycling culture anchored by the Colorado Riverfront Trail, Grand Junction appeals to groups seeking active, experience-driven itineraries. The region has also seen continued growth in its wine industry, with nearby Palisade recognized as one of Colorado’s premier wine destinations, offering vineyard tours and tastings for group outings.
Grand Junction offers more than 3,200 lodging rooms across a mix of hotels and alternative accommodations. The DoubleTree by Hilton offers 273 rooms and 12,000 square feet of meeting space, while Courtyard by Marriott and SpringHill Suites provide additional options for mid-sized groups. Hotel Maverick, located on the Colorado Mesa University campus, adds a modern, lifestyle-driven option with meeting space, rooftop event areas, and access to more than 20,000 square feet of additional campus facilities.
