About The City Hotel
The City Hotel keeps reception staffed around the clock, useful for anyone arriving late or heading off early from New Elvet in the heart of Durham. Parking is available on site, which makes life easier in a city centre not known for easy access, and the location puts Durham Cathedral and the surrounding attractions within easy reach.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, and family rooms are available for those travelling with children, who are also catered for with a dedicated kids' menu. Breakfast is served each morning, and there's a bar and snack bar on site for something more casual later in the day. Practical extras include free WiFi, luggage storage and a laundry service, all useful for longer stays or those breaking up a journey.
Outside the hotel, New Elvet and the surrounding area offer a choice of pubs, bars and restaurants, with a golf course and cycling routes nearby for anyone wanting to get outdoors. It's a no-frills option built around convenience and location rather than extras.
