Strater Hotel
In the middle of the historic main street of Durango, CO lies the grandeur Strater Hotel. As you step through the doors, you’re immediately taken back to the late 1800’s, where spurs jangled on boots and horse-drawn carriages dotted the streets.
The holiday season is the ideal time to visit the Strater Hotel, with wreaths and garlands hung with care and a perfectly trimmed tree that greets guests in the lobby.
THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride
Positioned directly next to the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Strater Hotel is the perfect place to stay when visiting for a winter train excursion. Hop aboard THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train for a truly magical journey. Sip on hot cocoa while watching a spirited reenactment of the beloved children’s book on your way to the North Pole. This event is the most popular train event in the state of Colorado, and once you experience it, you’ll understand why.
