A fine example of Victorian architecture, the property has been well-preserved from its stately brick exterior, to authentic antiques adorning the common areas and tiled Victorian bathrooms in each guest room.
The spirit of the Old West has similarly been captured with the locally-sourced menu at the Strater’s Mahogany Grill, as well as the property’s Diamond Belle Saloon entertaining guests with rag time piano, live music and costumed saloon girls, as well as Old West gunfights staged weekly between June and October.
Travellers have myriad cultural and adventure options to explore in the surrounding San Juan mountains by day, including a steam train ride on the historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, 4x4 jeep tours and Mesa Verde National Park.
