Loved our stay at the Strater. It was our first time to Durango. We were here for a wedding. We loved the added touch of the historic hotel for the wedding party. So much history in this hotel and town. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful historical hotel. The entire hotel is in period furnishings and the staff is exceptional. They also provide an historian for a tour of the hotel. There’s several eating options on site. We ate in the Saloon and the food was delicious. We are so glad we stayed here

Great hotel. The room was very clean and the antique furniture was very nice and the bed was comfortable. Whenever we have a chance to visit Durango, we will stay here. We enjoyed the bar with piano music and the bartenders were very attentive.

As described. Old timey, kitschy feel. Right in the middle of the action in downtown Durango. Room is quite small and a bit overloaded with furniture.
