From historic hotels to economical dorms, you have many options for lodging.
Your most economical and convenient home-away-from-home will be the West Hall dorm suites at Fort Lewis College, where the annual meeting takes place. We have reserved the entire 90-room West Hall exclusively for NARGS attendees.
For attendees wanting something swankier and filled with Western flavor, we have also negotiated preferred rates for a limited number of hotel rooms at two of downtown Durango’s best historic hotels: The Leland House Suites and the Strater Hotel.
Your other option is to book your own lodging online. August in Durango is the height of summer tourism season, so make your reservations early. Rates rise as occupancy increases.
