The Spotlight on Hotel Indigo DURHAM

Stylish Heritage Meets Modern Comfort in the Heart of Durham

Hotel Indigo DURHAM blends historic charm with boutique flair inside the beautifully restored Old Shire Hall. Just a short walk from Durham Railway Station and the city’s top attractions, this centrally located hotel offers a modern yet characterful base for music lovers exploring Durham’s vibrant live scene. With Durham Cathedral, Castle, and the city’s shopping streets just steps away, you’re perfectly placed for sightseeing between sets.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a 5-minute walk from Durham Railway Station, making late-night returns and early check-ins a breeze. The hotel’s central location means concert venues, bars, and restaurants are all within easy reach – no need for late-night taxis. Rooms are well soundproofed, offering a peaceful retreat after a loud gig, and the 12:00 check-out gives you time to sleep in the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for a stylish base near the action
- Solo travelers catching a must-see show
- Couples combining live music with a romantic city break
- Fans wanting a quiet, comfy space to recharge
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and convenience

Food and Drink Options

Fuel up or wind down at the on-site Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill, serving up steaks and classic British and French dishes. The stylish Rotunda cocktail bar is perfect for a pre-show drink or nightcap. There’s also a daily breakfast offering à la carte and Full English options—ideal after a late night. While there isn’t 24/7 room service, the central location means plenty of eateries are within walking distance.

Nightlife Options

The Rotunda bar serves up sophisticated cocktails in a laid-back setting, and Durham’s pubs, bars, and lounges are just a short stroll away. Whether you’re after live music, local ales, or a quiet pint, you’ll find it nearby without needing to venture far.

What People Say

Guests rave about the hotel’s beautiful architecture, friendly staff, and clean, spacious rooms. The location consistently earns praise for being walkable to everything, including train connections and major landmarks. Many highlight the comfortable beds and luxurious rainfall showers as ideal for post-gig relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

The car park is limited to 33 spaces and can’t be reserved, which may be a challenge during busy weekends. Some guests noted that the Wi-Fi can be patchy in certain rooms, so streaming your post-show playlist might require a little patience.

The Bottom Line

Hotel Indigo DURHAM is a stylish, central, and quiet spot that hits all the right notes for concert-goers wanting comfort, convenience, and a touch of historic charm.

Good

Liked: We stayed on the upper ground floor, our room had big high ceilings and windows, but blackout curtains. Room was comfortable, bathroom was spacious and the shower was great.
Disliked: The room was warm. The air con wasn’t powerful enough to cool it sufficiently which didn’t make it the most comfortable temperature to sleep in, especially as we couldn’t open the windows.
