The Durham Hotel, located at 315 E Chapel Hill Street, is a boutique, independently owned gem in the heart of Durham. Housed in a mid-century modern building originally designed by Perry C. Langston in 1968 as the Home Savings and Loan Association, the hotel radiates period charm alongside modern comfort.
Recent renovations by Commune (Los Angeles) and Maurer Architecture (Raleigh) vividly preserved the hotel's iconic façade—think metallic accents and a geometric form—while reimagining the interiors with bold color palettes and architectural flair.
