Guests Reviews
True Victorian Fashion
The General Palmer Hotel is the only 4 star hotel in Durango, CO and lives up to its billing!
The decor of the lobby, sitting area, reading room as well as the multiple areas to sit, relax and talk are all period correct. The hotel, named after General Palmer who bought the railroad to the mining towns of Silverton and Durango in the late 1800’s was built in a true Victorian fashion.
Our room was decorated in true Victorian fashion with a huge four poster bed, an extremely comfortable mattress, multiple pillows and nice terry cloth robes to relax after a long day on the railroad or just walking around town.
The shower and bath area was ample and the soaps and shampoo’s supplied were keepers, all in all a very enjoyable experience.

Booked Entire Hotel
We had nearly the entire hotel for our guests for our wedding back in June. Although there were a few management changes during our planning, the owner and staff of the hotel did everything that they could do to make sure our weekend was perfect. Everybody was so nice and accommodating!
The rooms are cute and clean. We keep having friends comment on how neat and historic the hotel was. It is in the perfect location in downtown Durango, right next to the train station. This hotel has tons of character and is one of a kind.
We appreciate everything that they did for a bunch of us crazy Texans and for making our wedding weekend unforgettable! Look forward to getting back to Durango soon!

Convenient Walking Distance
Right on Main Street, so everything is accessible. It’s fun just to look out your room window and see all that’s happening.
