A two nights at the historic Strater Hotel in downtown Durango, CO and two passes to a ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad through the beautiful Colorado mountains.

Steeped in history as Durango's most prominent downtown landmark, the Strater Hotel delivers world-class accomodations and hospitality.  The four-story red brick Strater Hotel is an exceptional example of American Victorian architecture, highlighted by original white stone cornices and ornamental brickwork.  A beautiful lobby and several lounges, and 93 spectacular Victorian rooms await you showcasing crystal chandeliers, period wallpapers, walnut antiques, ornate woodworking and moldings, coffered ceilings and intricately carved columns.  Author Louis L'Amour found the atmosphere so inspirational that he frequently booked rooms 222 and 223 to work on his western novels.

The hotel building itself houses a variety of dining and entertainment venues for you to enjoy: The Mahogany Grille with its premier award winning dining, the Office Spiritorium, a wonderful "social establishment" to enjoy a drink and relax; enjoy a beer or stop by for lunch at the legendary Diamond Belle Saloon, revered as one of the most famous original ragtime piano bars in the Wild West; maybe catch a live band or a production piece at the Henry Strater Theatre. 

The Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad was constructed to haul silver & gold ore from the San Juan Mountains, but passengers soon realized it was the view that was truly precious.  This historic train has been in continuous operation for 127 years, carrying passengers behind vintage steam locomotives and rolling stock indigenous to the line. Relive the sights and sounds of yesteryear for a spectacular journey on board the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.
