Cleanliness and Safety

Arrival

The wearing of face masks is no longer required by the city of Durham and by The Durham Hotel. Those who are more comfortable wearing face masks — including our team members — are welcome to do so. Hand sanitizer stations have been placed at points of entry and on elevator landings.

Parking

Overnight parking is $20 per night, while daytime visitor parking is $10. We recommend approaching our downtown hotel from the east to ensure easy access to the building’s designated concierge spaces.

The Chapel Hill St. parking garage is conveniently located down the block, at the intersection of Chapel Hill St. and Rigsbee Ave. The hourly rate is $2.25 and the daily rate is $24.75. On-street parking is also available in the area for shorter trips, with most spaces operating under a 2-hour time limit. During the workday, Monday-Friday from 8am-7pm, these metered spaces run at $2.50 per hour. Parking is free on weekends and after 7pm on weekdays.

Durham public parking accepts coins, cash, and credit cards. In addition, guests can access parking meters via the free Passport Parking App. For more information visit the ParkDurham website.

*Prices and policies are subject to change. The hotel cannot guarantee any specifics as these are determined by the city and are beyond the hotel’s control.
