Frequently asked questions

What makes a hotel in Durango a good choice for a large meeting or corporate event?
Conference hotels in Durango typically offer a combination of meeting space, guest rooms, and on-site facilities that support multi-day events. The DoubleTree by Hilton Durango, for example, features a largest event space of about 3,000 square feet that can accommodate up to 400 people, along with 11 event spaces and 159 guest rooms. When evaluating properties, look at the size of the largest ballroom or meeting room, the total number of breakout spaces available, and whether the hotel has enough guest rooms to house your attendees comfortably.
How far in advance should I book hotel rooms for a conference in Durango?
For a conference or large meeting, it's smart to start looking at hotel availability as soon as you have your dates confirmed. If you need a room block of 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve through Engine. Booking early gives you more options and helps you secure the rates and room inventory you need, especially during Durango's busier travel seasons.
What amenities can conference attendees expect at these hotels?
Most properties offer amenities like wifi, on-site dining, and parking, though specifics vary by hotel. For meeting and event space itself, amenities like AV equipment, catering, and room setup differ from property to property. Planners can find and request meeting and event space through Engine Spaces, Engine's venue product, to compare what each location offers for your particular event needs.
How do attendees get to Durango for a conference?
Durango is served by Durango-La Plata County Airport, which handles regional flights and connections. The airport is a short drive from downtown, where hotels like the Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Durango Downtown and the Historic Strater Hotel are located. Ground transportation options and proximity to the airport can be a factor when choosing where to host your event or book your room block.
What should I compare when choosing among these hotels for hosting a big event?
Start by comparing the size of each hotel's largest event space and its capacity. The DoubleTree by Hilton Durango offers about 3,000 square feet in its largest space and can host up to 400 people, while the Historic Strater Hotel's largest space runs about 1,900 square feet with capacity for up to 100 people. Also consider the number of breakout rooms (the DoubleTree has 11 event spaces, for instance), the guest-room count, and location relative to the airport or downtown attractions your attendees might want to access.
