About Delta Hotels by Marriott Durham Royal County
First opened as a hotel in 1815, the Durham Royal County occupies a long riverside building on Old Elvet, a short walk from the cathedral, castle and railway station across Elvet Bridge. Many of its bedrooms look out over the River Wear towards the World Heritage Site on the opposite bank.
The hotel has a leisure club with an indoor pool and gym, a bar and lounge serving light meals, and a restaurant with a terrace by the river. Public rooms retain a period feel, in keeping with the building's long history as one of the city's established hotels.
Its central, riverside position makes it a straightforward, walkable base for exploring Durham without needing a car, and a regular choice for university-related visits given its proximity to the colleges.
