Discover downtown Durham at our hotel. Take in a view of the city at our rooftop pool, bar and restaurant, then explore with a walk to the Durham Bulls Athletic Park or the Performing Arts Center. Formerly the Jack Tar Hotel, we've kept our roots in the '60s with a reimagined midcentury vibe in our 74 boutique hotel rooms. This hotel now participates in the World of Hyatt loyalty program as a JdV by Hyatt hotel.

Our boutique hotel rooms and suites boast unmatched character and a prime location in downtown Durham. Midcentury design nods to the history of our landmark building, while amenities like CubieBlue speakers are distinctly modern. Choose the Studio Suite for wraparound windows, a petite room for an easy overnight stay or an interior one for extra quiet.
As part of the JdV by Hyatt brand, we invite you to make each stay yours truly. A community for the spirited, the light-hearted and the young-at-heart, JdV by Hyatt is a collection of vibrant, independent and inclusive hotels that reflect the neighborhoods we call home.
Embrace the cool weather with a one-of-a-kind outdoor dining experience. Our semi-enclosed igloos keep out the chill with blankets and fireplaces while you relish a delicious meal. Gather with loved ones in this uniquely festive rooftop restaurant and choose Prix Fixe for a structured 4-course menu, or go VIP for a more leisurely, a la carte experience.

Present, train or host a wedding with us. Our boutique hotel features a small meeting room that is the perfect size for strategy sessions, workshops, bridal showers and more. To celebrate in a lively public setting, choose our lounge, The Studio, or our rooftop restaurant and bar, The Patio. Book a room block to smooth logistics for out-of-state wedding guests and colleagues.
