Durango & Silverton NGRR & Night stay at the Grand Imperial Hotel

Step Back in time Train & Hotel Package

Sit back and relax as we create your personalized 1880s "Step Back in Time" experience with the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad and the Grand Imperial Hotel! Your trip begins with a departure from the 1881 Durango Depot to travel the rails behind an authentic historic locomotive along the route built to haul silver and gold from the mining town of Silverton. In Silverton, experience the beauty and elegance of the refurbished 1883 Grand Imperial Hotel.

Get ready to hop on board the train for a scenic ride through the majestic San Juan Mountains pulled by a historic locomotive in First Class seating. We are sure you'll find the perfect trip for your 3 ½ hour train ride through the valley, cliffs and canyons along the Animas River.

Before boarding, check your luggage with our Ticket Office personnel before 8:30am and it will be waiting in your hotel room upon your arrival in Silverton. Your historic experience continues when the train pulls into town, and you stroll the short two blocks to the Grand Imperial Hotel. As you enter the lobby, appreciate that the name of the hotel truly tells it all. The Grand Imperial Hotel has been refurbished and exceeds the original standards when it was built in 1882.

Once settled in your beautifully appointed room, feel free to relax there or go explore what Silverton has to offer. Peruse the in-room map that lists the many quaint shops, restaurants and watering holes that are all within a convenient walk from the hotel. You'll also find connections for various sightseeing tours, information on Colorado-made beer, wines and spirits. Enjoying the clean, crisp air and breathtaking mountain views will come naturally. If you must stay connected to the 21st century, there is WiFi available in your room and in most locations in downtown Silverton.
