There is only one place to stay in Durango,repparttar 133767 town's grandest living icon —repparttar 133768 Stater.

Just keep in mind that you may never be satisfied with any other hotel after staying here. The Strater has been hailed downrepparttar 133769 ages as Durango's "home away from home". I am willing to give up my home and live here . . .!

I arrived tired and travel weary. I strode intorepparttar 133770 Strater with mixed expectations; this hotel is renowned byrepparttar 133771 locals as not only a historical landmark, but as part ofrepparttar 133772 life of this "Old West" town.

The Strater, in fact, has bridgedrepparttar 133773 past intorepparttar 133774 present, bringingrepparttar 133775 grand quality of 100 years ago forward and merging it with modern technology and conveniences, all accomplished without any compromise in quality. The result is a perfect blending ofrepparttar 133776 best of both worlds that has maderepparttar 133777 Strater not only a legend in its own time, but a true masterpiece of time.

Only one-step intorepparttar 133778 lobby, and I stepped back a century in time. It is incredulous.

The Strater is drenched and framed in warm woods, carved, notched, and formed everywhere you look. The lobby just opens up before you, and yet there is a comforting feel to it that just invites you in. Every bit of space is thoughtfully laid out to maintainrepparttar 133779 solid elegance of this great hotel.

I walk acrossrepparttar 133780 lobby and try to take it all in, and I am amazed byrepparttar 133781 style and grace. I simply could not have imaginedrepparttar 133782 quality of craftsmanship andrepparttar 133783 attention torepparttar 133784 smallest detail, all defying words.

After a moment of adjustment, leavingrepparttar 133785 weariness of travel andrepparttar 133786 bustle ofrepparttar 133787 streets behind me, I find myself "snapped up" by my surroundings and proceed torepparttar 133788 front desk. The staff match up torepparttar 133789 environment with grace and style in action . . . professional, friendly and personal, I was clearly a welcomed guest..

I was attended to in detail, then offered a drink (they had me at hello . . . but now they really had me), and tending to my needs. Soon I had not one, but several staff all offering to make my night easy by helping to park my car, and getting me intorepparttar 133790 fully booked Mahogany Grille for dinner. There was not a table available, asrepparttar 133791 entire night was completely reserved, but somehow they got me in. To be honest, I had no doubts.
