Top Historic Downtown Durango Hotel Reviews

Historic Strater Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great old hotel right downtown, and near the Durango Silverton train station. We stayed here because we like historic buildings and this one did not disappoint. It has modern conveniences, yet still allows you to step back in time."

The General Palmer Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely antique/ boutique style hotel in the heart of historic downtown Durango. Easy walk to the train which was one of our main reasons for visit. Nice breakfast and coffee setup which we used daily including to-go option. Room was small but updated and clean. Second floor room with a small elevator but Oksana was very helpful bringing our luggage up. Good exercise most of the time we used the stairs. The only drawback to the location was proximity to the nightlife across the street so it got a little loud on the weekends with live bands and noisy conversations just below but we enjoyed our stay"
