"Built in 1887 of native red brick and hand carved sandstone, the 93 room Strater Hotel is impressive both inside and out. Furnished in the world*s largest collection of authentic American Victorian walnut antiques, the hotel has been fully renovated to include state-of-the-art conveniences that blend with the old world feeling of its pioneer original. Located 2 blocks from Durango/Silverton railroad depot and 30 min from Purgatory skiing the Strater is the center of a Colorado vacation.
