Make the Most of Your Durham Stay

 

Industrial heritage meets modern innovation

Durham has transformed its tobacco and textile past into one of the South's most compelling urban stories. The American Tobacco Campus and Brightleaf Square showcase this evolution, where century-old brick warehouses now house restaurants, offices, and the Durham Performing Arts Center. Downtown reveals layers of history, from the Civil Rights legacy of Parrish Street to adaptive reuse projects that have become national models. The city's entrepreneurial spirit, rooted in its working-class origins, drives a thriving scene of independent restaurants and creative businesses.

Research Triangle culture and cuisine

Duke University's Gothic architecture and the 55-acre Sarah P. Duke Gardens provide elegant counterpoints to the industrial aesthetic. The culinary landscape has earned national attention, with establishments like M Sushi and Vin Rouge offering refined dining alongside innovative newcomers in neighborhoods like Rockwood. Business travelers will find the city's position within Research Triangle Park convenient, with excellent facilities and a concentration of medical and technology companies. The GoDurham bus system operates fare-free, connecting downtown to Duke and surrounding areas.

Exploring beyond downtown

The compact downtown makes most attractions accessible on foot, though rideshare services reach outlying neighborhoods. Day trips to Chapel Hill, Raleigh, or Hillsborough add depth to longer visits. Members can use miles to book accommodations in the revitalized downtown core, near the Durham Bulls ballpark, DPAC, and the restaurants that have made Bull City a destination.
