About Radisson Blu Hotel Durham

The Radisson Blu is a modern four-star hotel set on the riverside at Framwellgate Waterside, within easy walking distance of the railway station and the city centre across the Wear. It offers contemporary rooms, an on-site restaurant and bar, a swimming pool and fitness facilities, and extensive meeting and event space, which makes it a popular choice for both leisure breaks and business stays. Many rooms enjoy views over the river towards the historic city.

Its position bridges the convenience of the station side with a short stroll into the heart of Durham, so it suits visitors who want a full-service hotel without being far from the cathedral, castle and shops. As with any city hotel, rates rise around graduation, big cathedral events and busy weekends, so it is worth booking ahead.
