With accommodating spaces, welcoming lodging, and a stunningly scenic mountain backdrop

Nothing beats the intimate experience of lodging your friends, family, members, or team at an attentive boutique hotel. Gathering your favorite people together under one roof, deep in the heart of the Colorado mountains, creates the kind of strong bonds and meaningful connections that make life beautiful. 

At The Black Diamond Lodge, our newly updated guest rooms, private bathrooms, and gathering spaces offer the perfect balance of community and quiet. And just outside, Colorado’s incredible variety of outdoor activities offer every guest on your list an opportunity to experience adventure. 

From biking and hiking the nearby mountains, to skiing the slopes at Purgatory Ski Resort— just a (free!) shuttle ride away— your group’s Durango adventure awaits. Browse our Durango Activities page for our favorite local activities and experiences! 

“The Lodge is spacious with multiple beautiful views. 

I watched the sunrise over the mountains on the hot tub spa balcony every morning. A great way to prepare yourself for the chaos of a family reunion, and just be for a moment!”
