Located on the campus of Duke University, the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club is an Award-winning hotel like no other in the region. Built in the style of an old English country inn the hotel is nestled on a 300-acre site and situated in the heartland of North Carolina. The Inn features the Duke University Golf Course, 271 elegantly appointed guest rooms and suites, the award-winning Fairview Dini

ng Room, the Bull Durham Bar and superb meeting facilities for groups from 20 to 600. Only 20 minutes from Raleigh-Durham International Airport and 15 minutes from Research Triangle Park, we offer our guests a quiet and elegant retreat from life’s busy roads and hectic paces. Amid our tall pines and stately hardwoods you will experience the perfect guest experience; you’ll come to understand why our friends merely call us “the Inn.”

Since the late 1800s, the Duke name has been associated with both excellence and achievement. The Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club, named for Washington Duke himself, is proud to carry on that prestigious tradition, excelling in providing exceptional service and gracious southern hospitality.
