Looking for the perfect spot for a Durham city break? Influencer New Girl in Toon recently checked in to Hotel Indigo Durham for a weekend away, and her stay captured everything that makes our boutique hotel such a special place to spend the night.
Inside Durham’s Old Shire Hall
Set within the historic Old Shire Hall, Hotel Indigo is where Durham heritage meets modern luxury. Take in our beautiful interior, complete with grand staircases and stunning marble details that are sure to set the tone for your Durham getaway. New Girl in Toon stayed in one of our premium double rooms, styled around the famous Durham Boat Regatta, complete with a rainfall shower in a statement bathroom she described as “one of the prettiest” she’s ever seen.
Perfectly Placed for a Durham Getaway
One of the highlights of Hotel Indigo Durham is our unbeatable location. Sat just a short stroll from the iconic Durham Cathedral, the River Wear’s scenic walks, and the city’s charming independent shops. Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, cultural sightseeing, or a foodie adventure, everything is right on our doorstep.
Dining at Marco Pierre White Steakhouse
A visit to our local gem is a must for anyone visiting Durham. The Neighbourhood Durham, our lobby café, is known for its excellent local coffee and indulgent cakes. Offering a welcoming place to unwind and reconnect for visitors and locals alike.
For dinner, New Girl in Toon headed to our on-site Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill, one of the finest dining spots in Durham. From a classic prawn cocktail and burrata salad to a perfectly cooked fillet steak and grilled salmon, the menu blends British favourites with French flair. The evening finished with a French Martini in the Rotunda Bar, the ideal nightcap in one of the city’s most beautiful settings.
