Visit Durham is highlighting a range of coach-friendly hotels in the city to suit a range of budgets and interests.

For city centre accommodation with riverside views, the RadissonBlu Durham features a newly refurbished bar and restaurant. Meanwhile, the Delta by Marriott Hotel Royal Count features coach drop off and pick up point outside the hotel.

For more unusual accommodation, groups can stay at Durham University’s selection, which includes Durham Castle, set in the heart of Durham’s UNESCO World Heritage Site.

On the outskirts of the city, groups can enjoy luxury at Ramside Hall Hotel with its award-winning spa and restaurants. And at Lumley Castle, Visit Durham says groups can find accommodation fit for royalty at the 600-year old luxury castle hotel.

In the Vale of Durham, Hardwick Hall Hotel is surrounded by parkland, while groups can choose from 20 individually styled bedrooms and 5 lodges at Bowburn Hall Hotel. At Bishop Auckland, the Park Head Hotel offers 38 modern ensuite hotel rooms, ideal to visit The Auckland Project.
