Book NowStrater Hotel Review
Still the hottest spot in town, this grande dame opened for business in 1887. Inside, the Diamond Belle Saloon glitters with crystal chandeliers, rustic oak beams, and plush velvety curtains, and the Office Spiritorium offers a quiet escape for drinks and conversation. The individually decorated rooms are exquisite—no surprise, as the hotel owns the country's largest collection of Victorian antiques and has its own wood-carving shop to create exact period reproductions. Your room might have been visited by Butch Cassidy, Louis L'Amour (he wrote The Sacketts here), Francis Ford Coppola, John Kennedy, or Marilyn Monroe (the latter two stayed here at separate times).
2010 Fodor's 100 Hotel Award Winner
Open since 1887, this Victorian hotel is still a Durango hot spot, with extra touches such as free mountain-bike storage for modern Western adventurers. Maybe you'll get the room where Butch Cassidy stayed or where Louis L'Amour wrote the Sacketts series. After riding the nearby vintage train, relax in the Diamond Bell Saloon, a ragtime piano bar complete with costumed dance-hall girls.
