About Hotel Indigo Durham

Hotel Indigo Durham occupies the Grade II listed Old Shire Hall on Old Elvet, headquarters of Durham County Council until 1963 and a hotel since 2018. Original Victorian details, including marble floors and stained glass, run through the public areas alongside IHG's contemporary Indigo styling.

Bedrooms are individually decorated, drawing on the building's civic history, and the hotel's Rotunda Bar and Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill make it a destination for dinner as well as an overnight stay.

Its Old Elvet location puts Durham Cathedral, Castle and the railway station all within a five to ten minute walk, making it one of the more central options for visitors without a car.
