Check availability →Leland House Suites
Downtown suites · Flexible longer stays
A suite-style Durango stay that works well when you want more room, a walkable base, and an easier downtown rhythm than a generic edge-of-town hotel.

Booking Tips
- →Summer (June–August): Peak season — book 2–3 months ahead, especially for weekends and Narrow Gauge Railroad crowds.
- →Fall foliage (late Sept–mid Oct): The most popular time to ride the train. Hotels sell out fast — book early.
- →Ski season (Dec–March): Book downtown Durango to save on lodging vs. Purgatory base village prices.
- →Silverton overnight: Consider booking a night in Silverton to split the Narrow Gauge journey over two days.
