The Durham Hotel occupies the former Home Savings Bank in Durham, North Carolina, a midcentury landmark.

The hotel’s striking entry and newsstand is wrapped in black and white tile and housed in a contemporary addition that plays off the existing architecture.

An expansive, 3,000-square-foot rooftop bar offers panoramic views of the city and covered and open-air seating.

The dining room of Restaurant at the Durham Hotel—complete with 22-foot-tall windows and pendant light fixtures that nod to Tokyo’s Hotel Okura—opens off the lobby.

Hallways to the guestrooms feature bespoke geometric carpeting in a palette inspired by the work of Bauhaus artist Anni Albers.

At reception, midcentury-inspired furniture sits atop bold red and white carpeting that weaves its way throughout the public spaces.

The red, gold, and blue color palette continues in guestrooms, which feature blankets by Raleigh Denim Workshop that mimic the hallway carpet.
