Campus living never looked this elegant, yet the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club calls 300 acres within the Duke University campus home. Tucked away within the forest and golf club, this elegant resort is Durham’s leading hotel. Sophisticated and stylish, it features the amenities of a large resort with the charm and ambience of a country-house hotel. Rooms and suites reflect the English country influences, as does the daily afternoon tea. From the classic elegance of the lauded Fairview Dining Room to the convivial spirit of the Bull Durham Lounge, the dining choices here are terrific, and with a leading golf course just outside the door and privileges at the university’s fitness facilities, guests are never at a loss for something to do.
