Strater Hotel
Built in 1887, the historic Strater Hotel (Historic Hotel of America Founding Member) is one of the West’s iconic hotels and a prominent downtown Durango, Colorado landmark located two blocks north of the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, one hour from Mesa Verde National Park, several hours from the Four Corners Monument, and deep in the heart of the rugged San Juan Mountains and the San Juan Scenic Skyway.
The Strater Hotel is adorned with beautiful handcrafted woodwork, period wallpaper, and the largest collection of American Victorian walnut antiques which are used to decorate the hotel and guestrooms. The Strater was operated for 95 years by the Barker family, and is now owned by Ross Garrett and family. We invite you to experience the best of the Old West and an iconic Durango, Colorado hotel.
A Living History Museum You will find history and awe-inspiring story and craftsmanship literally everywhere here. The Strater hotel welcomes people from all over the world to tour our living history museum and iconic red brick building in the heart of downtown Durango.
Diamond Belle Saloon
This is the real deal folks. Once home to the Strater-Thorpe Drugstore, The Diamond Belle was restored to its saloon greatness in 1957 when Earl Barker Jr. decided to “ask forgiveness instead of permission” of his father Earl Sr. The decision was immediately successful and the saloon was full! There’s a lot of history in these walls (and ceilings). Come and “Belly Up” to The Belle. If you’re a history buff, download a quick read of The Strater and The Belle history — enjoy.
