“In my opinion, this award-winning hotel's vintage charm and prime location next door to the Durango Silverton Railroad make it a unique base for exploring the area; the Presidential King Suite even has mountain views. Though close to the train station, the hotel provides warm cookies, free parking, and personalized service. It's a relaxing and distinctive Durango experience.”

Staying at the General Palmer Hotel was a delightful experience, especially with its historical charm and exceptional service. The clean and comfortable room we had was wonderful, and the hotel's location made exploring downtown Durango a breeze. However, the breakfast offerings could use some improvement. Overall, it's a great spot if you're a history enthusiast and enjoy a convenient base for your travels.
