Strater Hotel, Victorian hotel in downtown Durango, US.

The Strater Hotel features 88 guest rooms adorned with Victorian walnut furniture, period wallpaper, and authentic 19th-century architectural details throughout the building.

Opening in 1887 at a cost of $70,000, pharmacist Henry Strater established this hotel during the expansion of Colorado's mining industry and railroad development.

The Diamond Belle Saloon within the hotel maintains tradition with staff dressed in period attire and offers nightly entertainment featuring ragtime piano performances.

The hotel includes three restaurants, multiple event spaces for gatherings, and stands two blocks from the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad station.

Western author Louis L'Amour wrote several Sackett novels in room 222, positioned above the saloon where the music influenced his writing of Old West stories.
