Here's directions to IBM Boulder: 

Directions from Denver International Airport
(DIA) to IBM Boulder. Driving time is about 60 minutes, depending on weather
and traffic conditions.

Exit the airport on Pena Blvd and take the E470 tollway west for 18.5 miles
and exit onto I-25 North. The tollway will cost a total of $3.50. Follow
I-25 North for about 10 minutes and take exit 235, State Highway 52 (Dacono,
Fort Lupton exit). Turn left (west) and follow 52 West for about 15 minutes
until it ends at Highway 119. IBM will be at this intersection, directly
in front of you.

Instructions for traveling from DIA to IBM Boulder

http://w3.boulder.ibm.com/boulderwebw3.nsf/lkpIBMpages/map.html

Here are the logistics for the WSDM F2F all day Jan 19
and 20th in Boulder CO at IBM.  

Please try to arrange your flights to be there all day
both days if at all possible.  

Boulder Site Map

Meeting will be in Bldg 002. Visitor parking is very limited.
Guests should park in lot D or B and walk to main entrance bldg 001 to
enter... then walk (inside) to 002/B10-1 

(first day Harry Lewis will escort if he's here or he
will try and provide one if he's not). 

1. Boulderado. Historic in nature and located 1 block
off the "Pearl Street Mall" ... an outdoor "mall" (street
with no cars)... a key Boulder city attraction with shops, restaurants
etc. Sort of "old west" flare... some rooms with antique furniture...
not necessarily the most luxurious rooms in all cases, however.

2. Marriott Boulder on Canyon Dr. Many people stay at
Marriotts due to points etc. Located in an interesting plaza with a few
restaurants, coffee shop and a famous Boulder hardware store that "has
everything" (sounds boring but actually interesting to kill some time
in).  

I found this link http://www.boulder.co.usa.freehotelguide.com/Marriott-Boulder.html

3. Homewood Suites 

You typical suites hotel. A bit removed from any action
but the amenity of a suite.

People can, of course, find other hotels using their own
search capabilities. For most wanting to experience Boulder (and not caring
about points loyalty) I'd recommend Boulderado.  

People can also search in the towns of Niwot and/or Longmont
but they will be removed from Boulder proper which is usually considered
the larger attraction. 

There is actually a fairly new, cool little place called
the Niwot Inn http://www.niwotinn.com/home_set.htm(Niwot
named after Chief Niwot.. means "Left Hand"). Niwot is the closest
town (5 min) to IBM. It is very quaint but has some of the best eateries
(although limited in number) and a short block of antique shops.  

People will need a car or taxi to get from any of these
places to IBM. There is probably bus service from Boulder and Longmont...
I can look into that if needed.
