The Marriott Durham is a traditional stone property, the oldest parts of which date back to the 18th century, situated in on the banks of the River Wear, 350 metres from the Castle and Cathedral. This three-floor hotel features 150 guestrooms, many with views either of the Castle and Cathedral or of the river, and include cable television, direct-dial phones with voicemail, tea/coffee-makers and minibars. Bathrooms include tubs, showers and complimentary toiletries. Health-conscious guests can head to the indoor pool, which is flanked by Grecian-style pillars and a terrace area complete with loungers and towels. Those feeling more energetic can tone up in the gym, which offers a range of cardiovascular equipment, including treadmills, cross trainers, steppers, rowers and bikes, as well as a free-weights area. After a workout, guests can relax with a dip in the spa tub or head for the sauna and steam room. Diners have the choice of two restaurants: a continental á la carte restaurant and an informal carvery-style eatery which offers a buffet lunch.
