Fodor's Expert Review Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club
3001 Cameron Blvd., Durham, North Carolina, 27705, USA
On the campus of Duke University, this luxurious hotel evokes the feeling of an English country inn. Many of the guest rooms—all with classic furnishings and creamy wall coverings—overlook either a park or the golf course, designed by Robert Trent Jones and redesigned by his son, Rees Jones. The inn feels a bit like staying in an upscale golf clubhouse—there's a pro shop in the hotel lobby. On display in the public rooms are memorabilia belonging to the Duke family. In the lobby, you'll find the quietly sophisticated Fairview Dining Room.
If you're in town for a special event and the inn is full, the new JB Duke Hotel is just across the street.
