There will be no shortage of lodging options for visitors to Durham – or for Triangle residents looking for a little staycation. What’s great about Durham’s latest boutique hotels is that they are right in the heart of the city, in easy walking distance to the theater, galleries, the farmers market, and of course, a list of restaurants that would take weeks—probably months—to work your way through…starting with the restaurants that are right inside the hotels themselves.
Below, we take a look inside two of Durham’s newest hotels: The Durham, which opened this July, and the Aloft Durham Downtown, which opens at the end of the month.
The Durham hotel offers a funky mid-century modern design with a comfortable lounge, serving breakfast from 7-11 a.m. and coffee/tea until 6 p.m. This will soon be the home of the restaurant run by Lantern’s Chef, Andrea Reusing.
The rooftop bar and deck is off and running, serving snacks and a raw bar from 5-11 p.m. (open ’till midnight). High above the Bull City, you can enjoy a vantage point most have never experienced before; it’s gorgeous on a clear night.
