Hotels in the Durham Region

Holiday Inn Express Durham accommodates guests directly south of the NC 157/Guess Road and the Interstate 85 interchange. I-85 skirts the northern boundary of Durham city limits and does not provide immediate access to downtown, Research Triangle Park or Duke University. Still, this location is ideal for interstate traffic making the connection into the North Carolina Piedmont and towards Atlanta. Holiday Inn Express offers 79 single and double-bedded rooms with basic amenities at moderate rates. Rooms are outfitted with wireless Internet connections, coffee makers, work desks and free local calls. You may also avail yourself to complimentary breakfasts and outdoor poolside leisure during the summer months. Take I-85 south for one exit to Hillandale Road for public greens at Hillandale Golf Course.

Homewood Suites fronts the U.S. 15-501 and I-40 interchange in South Durham. These highways are arguably the most important routes for local traffic in Raleigh-Durham. Interstate 40 connects Durham and Chapel Hill with Research Triangle Park and Raleigh. Meanwhile, 15-501 is a commercial, divided-highway that links Chapel Hill to Durham---with access to both UNC and Duke campuses. This site is actually less then five miles from both Universities---making it ideal for college send-offs, graduations and alumni visits.

Homewood Suites offers studio, one and two-bedroom suites for your party. Interior décor presents a neutral color scheme with dark wood furnishings. Accommodations offer data ports, separate living areas, two flat-panel televisions, and fully-equipped kitchens. Further, management encourages you to take advantage of its business communications equipment, meeting space for 100 guests, fitness center and on-site pool. Complimentary, hot breakfasts are served daily and guests may return to the hotel lobby during the evening hours for light meals and mingling.

Work on your golf game at Chapel Hill's Finley Golf Course. Take 15-501 south to NC 54 east for public golf. The Finley Golf Course is a 10-minute drive from Homewood Suites Durham-Chapel Hill.

Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club actually operates upon the Duke University campus. The luxury hotel's off-white color scheme is enhanced with navy blue embellishments---in the spirit of Duke's school colors. Interior décor greets guests with vaulted ceilings, ornate tapestry and regal wood paneling---matching the setting of an English country inn. A total of 271 separate guest rooms and suites overlook the surrounding golf course and tall Carolina pine. These accommodations are outfitted with specialty toiletries, wireless Internet and mounted images of Duke University. On-site amenities include fitness equipment, concierge service and shuttle transportation to Duke University points of interest. Additionally, Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club offers three separate options for fine dining and upscale mingling. The Fairview Dining Room, Vista Restaurant and Bull Durham are all notable for higher-end Southern cuisine and their extensive wine lists.

Of course, sportsmen delight in the fact that Washington Duke Inn guests are granted direct access to the adjacent Duke University Golf Club. Duke Inn management identifies this course as "one of the top ten in North Carolina," and PGA players work on staff to provide private lessons.
