As a former silver mining camp, Silverton is a historic destination that’s filled with a lively local community. It’s also known to be a recreational paradise during the winter and summer seasons, so rest assured, there are plenty of top hotels to accommodate you.

Given Silverton’s home among the steepest mountains in the state, it attracts an adventurous crowd. Locals live the outdoor life, and so do many tourists that pass through.

The town boasts many awesome hotels of varying rates and styles, assuring you’ll find the lodging you prefer. And although it receives larger crowds during the summer, wintertime in Silverton remains a hidden gem.

Probably Silverton’s Top Hotel Accommodations

The Avon Hotel Room Silverton CO
Bunkroom at The Avon Hotel in Silverton.

Families will cherish the simple and affordable wintertime fun at Kendall Mountain Recreation Area. It boasts a ski hill, an ice rink, and a Nordic center. Expert powder hounds ride the most unique ski resort in the state, Silverton Mountain.

In summer many come to town from Durango via the Durango & Silverton Train, one of the most picturesque narrow gauge railroads in the west! Another seasonal option is the Alpine Loop, one of the gnarliest scenic byways in the state. A high-clearance 4×4 is required for this road that opens up in late-May/early-June, weather pending.

You can rent a Jeep in town too for this. In fact, while you’re heading up the Alpine Loop, before you get to the crazy stuff (no 4WD required), stop by the One Hundred Gold Mine, open from mid-May to early-October.

As you can tell from the aforementioned activities, there is plenty to do in this San Juan County Seat. Let’s explore the best hotels and inns to stay at while discovering the San Juan Mountains. Choose from cozy bed and breakfasts in the heart of town, to historic hotels, to vacation rentals and lodges tucked away by the San Juan National Forest.
