3-star hotels in Durango
Eight 3-star hotels in Durango, from chain properties on the boulevards to a townhouse on Calle Constitución. This shortlist is for travellers weighing an old-town base against a practical stopover with parking, compared here on facilities and on where each address actually sits.
Staying in Durango
Durango's sights sit close together in the Centro Histórico: the cathedral, Plaza de Armas, Calle Constitución and the cable car are all within a few blocks, and a handful of old townhouses there have become hotels. Outside that core the city spreads along boulevards, and that is where most of the properties on this list stand. North of the city, 12-14 km away on the Parral road, Villa del Oeste and Chupaderos keep the standing sets from the westerns shot around Durango since the 1950s.
One hotel here has an address in the old town, on Constitución, the street the local guide places a few blocks from the cathedral and Plaza de Armas. The others are on boulevards: three on Francisco Villa, one each on Felipe Pescador and Heroico Colegio Militar, and one on Blvd. Itd in the Colonia Antigua Planta de Impregnación. That split shapes who each suits — couples and short breaks on foot in the centre, families and drivers on the boulevards with free parking, business travellers where the business centre and fitness centre are listed.

For an old-town base
Hostal De La Monja is the only hotel here with an address on Constitución, the street this guide places within a few blocks of the cathedral, Plaza de Armas and the cable car. It lists a 24 hour front desk, air conditioning, free wifi and room service, and it is the one property on the list that allows pets.
For longer stays
City Express by Marriott Durango has a kitchenette, microwave and minibar plus a sofa bed, while Hotel Rincón Real Suites has an outdoor pool, garden, terrace, restaurant and bar. Both give you more than a bed for several nights, and both include free wifi and free car parking.
Plan your stay
Getting there and around
A car helps. The chain hotels on Boulevard Felipe Pescador and 20 de Noviembre offer parking and predictability and are 10-15 minutes from the centre by taxi. For the western film sets, Villa del Oeste and Chupaderos lie 12-14 km north on the Parral road, and public transport is not practical: either book a tour or agree a return taxi fare before you set out. Check days and hours in advance, because opening is irregular.
When to go
Nothing in the hotel data fixes a season, and the sights this shortlist serves are mostly outdoors: the cathedral, Plaza de Armas, Calle Constitución and the cable car in the Centro Histórico, and the standing film sets 12-14 km north. Those sets open irregularly, so confirm days and hours before setting out whenever you travel; the drier months are the easier ones for both.
Questions, answered
Where do these hotels sit in relation to Durango's centre?
