The Rochester Hotel & Leland House is a charming, classical bed and breakfast located in the heart of Durango. There are two unique properties, assuring you’ll find that perfect accommodation. This historic family-owned hotel in Durango was established by mother and son tandem Diane Wildfang and Kirk Komick.
Historic Hotel in Downtown Durango, CO
Kirk and Diane purchased the Leland House from Leland and Lola Hill back in 1993. As a way to honor its previous owners who had the house since 1947, it was given the name Leland House. Each room in the house is named after some of Durango’s historic figures. A year after restorations were complete, the duo began working on the rundown Rochester Hotel, one of Durango’s oldest hotels.
It now has 15 beautiful king and queen rooms. Each room in Rochester Hotel was thoughtfully designed with a Western movie theme. Kirk and Diane tried to preserve both its historic features but still managed to upgrade both buildings with the necessary modern amenities.
