LODGING: Lion Square Lodge (website)
Discounted prices for the Fisher/O'Neill wedding weekend.
Contact: 800.525.5788 (970.476.2281)

The Lion Square Lodge is our preferred and primary hotel site for the wedding weekend. We have made arrangements for great pricing (i.e. hotel rooms are $81 instead of $135/night), and we'd love to see as many of you there as possible! Room rates are good for Wednesday, September 26th through October 1st so feel free to stay and relax an extra couple of days in the rich mountain air.

As an added bonus the hotel is at the base of Vail mountain and next door to where the wedding and reception will take place. This is the hotel we will be staying at Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening (Sep. 28, 29, 30).

For reservations with our special wedding rate at the Lion Square Lodge, please call 800-525-5788 and give them the Fisher/O'Neill wedding party name to get the proper rates. We've listed rates below so you can make sure to get the right rates! Don't use the Internet to book or you probably won't get the best rates.

NOTE: Reservations are on a space-available basis, so make your reservations as soon as possible. If you cannot get space at the Lion Square we suggest the economical Lionshead Inn at 970.476.2050 or 1-800-283-VAIL, which is almost next door. They have rooms from $80. Also try the upscale Vail Mountain Haus in the hip Vail Village, just down the road a mile and along the shuttle route (runs every 8-10 minutes). If you would like other choices, please contact us and we'd be happy to offer a few others that are close by.

If you are considering staying in Denver or Golden instead of Vail, contact us for recommendations.

Kaltenberg

Reception Site
The name Kaltenberg is said, originally, to have meant "Celtic Hill" and there is mention of it, as a place, in 1179 in Church records. The building itself was first mentioned in Apian`s "Topographia Bavariae" as an old fortification (Burg) built by Duke Rudolph in 1292.

Amazingly, the world also owes Oktoberfest to the Royal Bavarian family. It begun as a public celebration of the wedding of the young Crown Prince who later became King Ludwig I and was such a success that it has been continued every year since.
