If you stay here, take time to explore the antiques, pictures, memorabilia all around the lobby and adjacent rooms. Truly a unique, historic ambiance. Rooms outfitted with antiques. However, our room was small; the bathroom was small and the shower tiny. Not a deal-breaker, though. The worst part was the parking situation. There is limited parking near the hotel, and some extra parking a block away. Unloading and getting luggage to our second floor room was a challenge. One elevator that can only fit two people and two suitcases. Location was close to southern Rocky Mountains; a drive to Silverton and Ouray are a must if staying in Durango.

This is an old-west style hotel that adds a lot of character. In addition, it is located in the heart of downtown Durango, so much of the most popular areas to shop, dine, or photograph is very walkable.

Unique and fun!

Loved this place, especially the room cards detailing the history of the room and the area. Lots of vintage items from the period as well. The only complaint I had was that the live entertainment wasn’t as described.

I loved it. However, I did see some homeless people near the parking which made me a little nervous and it was noisy as bars let out.

Historic hotel with 2 restaurants right in middle of historic Durango. You could walk to many shops, dining places, and shows. We enjoyed a Happy Hour in their Diamond Belle restaurant with entertainment (singer with guitar). The hotel is beautiful to look at the decor, memorabilia and pictures. Check in was easy and staff very helpful. Because it is a 130 year old hotel, Parking is off site in a lot nearby and rooms, especially bathrooms are on the smaller side

This property shares an important history with the town of Durango. Its architectural features takes you back to similar properties located in San Francisco back in the 1870’s. It is a very beautiful hotel and the staff is very helpful and friendly. A special thanks to the hotel manager - Mr. Jessie O. for providing us with a personal tour of this beautiful hotel. His kindness and his sharing of the many historical events that have taken place at this hotel was very very special to us. Thanks!!!

We haven’t stayed at the Strater for almost 20 years and are so glad, that having the opportunity to visit Durango again, we booked a room there again. The friends that we came to meet were enthralled by the music and fun we enjoyed together at the Diamond Belle on both nights of our stay. The only thing that we missed was an opportunity to have breakfast there like we did on our last stay. We don’t get to Durango often, and more’s the pity, but we love the town and the Strater is one of the highlights. We will certainly be back!

So So Stay....

It was ok. Room and hotel nice. Front desk staff was argumentative on checking in. My Son and I were baffled. I've stayed here each of the last 4 times I've come to town. Likely try something different next trip. The horn from the train at 5 am wasn't so great...
