This is a lovely historic hotel in the ideal location in downtown Durango. The two taverns with live music had good food and drinks but we mostly enjoyed the music. The whole hotel has such an elegant decor. We loved our stay and would recommend this hotel.

The Strater Hotel was such a magical stay! It was amazing to see all of the artifacts inside the lobby area! It was like a museum and a time capsule. We reserved the Jacuzzi and it was so clean and well maintained. It was so cozy and nice to have the whole room to ourselves for 30 minutes. Each room had its own unique attributes and I want to book the Strater over and over again so I can experience ALL they have to offer. We spent an evening at the spiritorium and were met with an independent artist playing his guitar and taking requests. It was such a great time!

Stay here if the 1887 brick-and-walnut atmosphere, helpful staff, and walk-to-everything downtown spot matter more than a plush bed, sparkling-clean modern room, or extras. If you want updated comfort and consistent cleanliness, look at newer properties nearby and treat the Strater as a place to tour and have a drink rather than your overnight base. The history and setting are genuine; the rooms have not kept pace.
