Enjoy a sun deck and a library onsite. The hotel includes a meeting room equipped with a desk and a fax machine.

“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.”
