Hotel Indigo - Durham By Ihg

4-star boutique hotel in a historic Victorian building with a Marco Pierre White steakhouse

Rooms & Suites

Hotel Indigo Durham occupies the former Old Shire Hall, a Victorian building that once housed council offices and university administration. Each guest room takes design inspiration from the Trinity-Durham Cathedral, Castle, and University-and some rooms offer a view of Durham Cathedral. The bathrooms feature rainfall showers and free toiletries, and the hotel provides a mini fridge with complimentary water in every room.

Dining

The on-site Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill serves signature steaks, English and French classics, and a daily breakfast with à la carte and Full English options. The Rotunda cocktail bar offers a selection of cocktails and tapas in a setting that retains the building's original Victorian stained glass. Guests can also order kids' meals and special diet menus, and the coffee house on site provides additional casual dining options.
