Built in 1875, and one of Colorado's oldest hotels, the Windsor has been the heart of the town of Del Norte for nearly 150 years. Originally known as "The Whitsitt House", this “Grand Dame’s” construction started soon after the town was founded in 1871. In the last quarter of the 1800's, Del Norte was a booming and thriving mining and ranching hub. Once on the short list for the capital of Colorado, Del Norte lost by one vote to Denver as state capital. The Windsor Hotel was the focal point of social and commercial activity in San Luis Valley area and remained a regional gathering spot for over a hundred years. Del Norte, remained a prospering and influential town in south western Colorado until the early 1970's. The Windsor Hotel too, began to reflect the area’s decline. By 1993, the hotel was dilapidated and in a state of ruination. A wrecking ball was literally looming over the decaying and lifeless “Victorian Lady” as she awaited her final fate. With amazing foresight and dedication, a local benefactor and his wife, Doctor Raymond & Mrs. Barbra Culp, stepped in to save the Windsor from demolition, literally at the last minute (the hotel lounge, Bistro Barbara, is named after Mrs. Culp in her honor). Over the past 20 years, several phases of reconstruction, restoration and regeneration have produceded an eloquent lodging and dining establishishment. Highlights are a "turn-of-the-century" parlor, elegant dining and event rooms, and a living history interpretive area. The Windsor now has 20 completely renovated and revitalized rooms with all the modern luxuries. Down comforters, lush micro-fiber blankets, and deluxe beds will insure that you get a good night’s rest. The elegant lighting, natural marble shower stall and sink, Victorian-style tile, and hand carved furniture will make you feel as you have gone back in time; while HD televisions, complimentary Wi-Fi and hardwired internet will keep you connected in the 21st century. Relax in our guest lounge and enjoy complimentary coffee and infused water. We also have roll away beds and cribs for your extra guests or little ones. We invite you to share a part of Colorado’s History and enjoy the all the hospitality and grandeur this “Lavish Lady” and her staff can muster up for you. Come feel the strength and the heartbeat of a Colorado Community and it’s beautiful 1875 Victorian Hotel.
