Holidays at The Durham
Beginning November 28th, experience the holiday season at The Durham Hotel in downtown Durham. From a festive special menu and mid-century holiday décor to weekly holiday musical performances and our signature Holiday Market shopping party plus a visit from Black Santa, we are in the spirit!
Holiday Room Package: Stay Golden
Celebrate the season at The Durham Hotel with a holiday stay that glows in gold. Step into a room filled with midcentury holiday charm: a gold Christmas tree with tinsel, ornaments, and a working toy train running beneath, garland, and a wreath above the bed. A $25 food and beverage credit, a half bottle of wine, and a keepsake ornament await your arrival, setting the tone for a cozy downtown escape.
Holiday Menu
Experience the magic of the season with our new holiday menu, available on the Roof and in the Coffee Bar. Sip on festive classics like our Peppermint Martini and Aged Egg Nog, or try something new with the Abominable Snowman cocktail. Pair your drinks with house-made treats, including Gingersnap Caramel Popcorn, Rye Whiskey Apple Cranberry Shortcake, and Peppermint Toffee.
Indulge in holiday cheer, one bite and sip at a time!
Holiday Market
Come to our signature event, Holiday Market at The Durham, on Wednesday December 10 to celebrate the season with festive drinks and shopping for gifts from local makers and retailers, all in support of the Y Learning program at the Durham YMCA.
Santa on the Roof
Ol’ Saint Nick will make his way to the rooftop on Saturday, December 6. Join us on the heated Roof for photos with Black Santa. Be sure to stop by the Coffee Bar beforehand for Brunch or hot cocoa and house-made pastries to make your visit extra special!

Host your holiday gatherings at The Durham. Whether it’s with friends, family, or colleagues, we have beautifully decorated spaces ready to host you, from dinners for 8 or more in our first floor Coffee Bar to semi-private parties on the heated Roof to intimate gatherings in our private Mezannine room.
