The Trinity Neighbourhood



Newcomers, friends and weary travellers step onto the set of history at Hotel Indigo Durham, rest your head and explore our 'perfect little city'.



When Bill Bryson called Durham "a perfect little city", the American author wasn't kidding. To a lifelong anglophile such as Bryson, Durham is the quintessential England of Dickens and the Bronte sisters.



At the heart of our charming neighbourhood lies the magnificent university, castle and cathedral, a famous trinity that underpins the city's history and identity.



Our 83 contemporary bedrooms inspired by the city's Norman ancestry whilst combining technology, style and comfort with stunning views of Durham Cathedral.



Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar Grill treats guests to signature steaks, timeless English and French classics, and a comprehensive selection of premium cocktails. The restaurant and cocktail bar is a perfect affordable gathering place with friends and family for afternoon tea, adding a touch of glamour to a celebratory occasion or a conducive environment for that business lunch or private dinner.
