"The Durham Hotel, Downtown Durham. The Durham Hotel is a mid-century modern hotel with a coffee shop, raw bar and roof deck combo, and lobby-adjacent restaurant. Most come here for the rooftop deck to enjoy the lovely view of the city when it is bustling most weekend nights. Arrive earlier in the evening, or call for a reservation if you want to sit and enjoy some oysters with your bubbly. Though many come for the the roof deck, the lobby-level restaurant boasts delicious eats from James Beard award-winning chef Andrea Reusing. Pro-tip: stop in for a coffee; they have one of the best coffee bars in town. If you’re looking to enjoy the Durham without indulging in food or drink, check out their website to see when the next roof deck yoga class is happening."
