The Durham Hotel

In the beating heart of downtown Durham, a mid-century modern boutique hotel sits steps from the Carolina Theatre. Walkable to the Durham Performing Arts Center, Durham Bulls Athletic Park and about a mile from Duke University, it’s a prime spot for culture, games and campus visits.

This 53-room boutique hotel blends warm, residential interiors by Commune with local artwork and collaborations. Rooms offer flat-screen TVs, iPod docking, refrigerators, coffee/tea makers and designer toiletries. Expect a rooftop terrace for city views and a 24-hour fitness center for stays that balance style and function.

Rooftop terrace and bar, restaurant, coffee shop and two lounges set the social tone. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, concierge and a banquet hall round out services. There’s also parking and tour/ticket assistance to help you get out and explore.

Complimentary high-speed wired internet, a business center and three meeting/event rooms make the hotel meeting-ready. Lobby newspapers and concierge services keep business travel seamless.
