Tips for Booking Hotels Near Kirkwood

Book early for peak season. The best months at Kirkwood are January, February, March. Hotels fill up fast during holidays and long weekends, so booking 2-3 months in advance is recommended for the best rates and availability.
Midweek savings. Rates can drop 20-40% on Sunday through Thursday nights. If your schedule allows, skiing midweek means fewer crowds on the mountain and lower hotel prices.
Consider ski-in/ski-out. While more expensive, ski-in/ski-out properties save you time and hassle with shuttles and parking. At Kirkwood, we recommend 1 ski-in/ski-out property.
Check shuttle services. Many hotels near Kirkwood offer complimentary shuttle service to the slopes. Ask about schedule frequency and pickup locations when booking.
