Radisson Blu Hotel, Durham, hotel in Durham

Just 1 mile from Durham Rail Station and city centre, the Radisson Blu Durham has fantastic views of Durham Cathedral. It offers stylish rooms, free WiFi, a restaurant, bar and modern health club.

The hotel was just perfect for our short break overlooking the river and a short walk into the city and close to Beamish museum which was our main reason for our stay. Our room was nice and comfortable we dined in the restaurant where the meal was excellent and the breakfast buffet was good also good to have the use of the spa after a day out to relax in

FAQs about hotels in Durham

Sacred English Heritage

Durham could definitely be one of those towns that appear in fairy tales and stories of kings and knights. Lying on a hilled peninsula formed by the Wear River, the striking cathedral overlooks from the hilltop, surrounded by the castle, palaces and historic buildings. Get transported back in time by the magic of this English jewel, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Though archaeological evidence suggests the area has been inhabited since 2000 BC, the present-day settlement was founded by monks from Lindisfarne in 995, choosing the area as the final resting place of Saint Cuthbert. Symeon of Durham stated once that ‘to see Durham is to see the English Zion, and by doing so one may save oneself a trip to Jerusalem’. Hotels and B&Bs in Durham’s historic centre are a popular choice to enjoy this historic legacy.

Its powerful religious position granted such great honour to the city, that the bishop still holds the rights to a seat in the House of Lords, and to accompany the sovereign at the coronation. During the 19th century and encompassing the industrial revolution, the university was founded, with Durham Castle becoming its first college.

Whether you’re searching for a cottage, a modern hotel, or a cheap hostel, Booking.com offers a wide range of accommodation in the area.

    The Cathedral was stunning (we had the bonus of a candle lit concert in the evening). Unfortunately the castle was closed due to the start of the new academic year for the universities which reduced what there was to see in the centre of the city. The centre was bustling with plenty of eating places to choose from. The Botanic Gardens were a pleasant interlude. Overall the two days were sufficient for us.

    I love Durham.

    I love Durham. I wish I had more time to explore and will def visit again. The town is beautiful and unspoilt. I love the historical buildings that have withstood the test of time. People were really friendly and warm too. I would def say that Durham is one of the best places to visit in the UK.

    Loads to do and excellent restaurants, boat trip a must and do take time to visit the Cathedral. Friendly people, can be a bit tiring with quite a few hills and steps but well worth it. Give it a go, it's exceptional ++++

    Wonderful Cathedral, Castle and city centre full of interesting history. Take a long walk along the tow path to enjoy the views. Check out Flat White cafe for coffee and amazing brunch at 10am on Sundays but get there early to avoid the long queues.

    Durham was very interesting with many interesting and varied sights. Lovely historical buildings, modern shopping facilities and a beautiful setting with riverside walks and gardens within a stones throw. The Cathedral was wonderful and there were plentiful choices of eateries. We chose a Turkish restaurant which proved to be very reasonable and the meal was excellent.

    The hotel was clean and the staff were friendly. They made us a lovely surprise for our anniversary. The bed was comfy. The only thing is that the view from the bed is blocked by the bathroom and the deluxe double room is not that big . Otherwise everything was great and the location is perfect right in the city centre and there is paid onsite parking. The breakfast was nice too .

    Tthe staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was lovely. The location is good as you can walk into Durham and, if you are driving from the A1, it is conveneient as you don't have to go into the City Centre and free parking is plentiful. It is also incredible value for money as Durham hotels are usually on the expensive side.
