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...

Good stay

It was fun staying in the historic building. The furniture was antique and kind of cool, and the wallpaper and high ceilings in the room were very nice. It was quieter than we expected. I am not sure if that was because not all rooms around us were filled, because I would expect that with the older building, you would normally hear your neighbor or creaking of floors. Overall it was a good stay and was fun and different.
