JB Duke Hotel

Welcome to the JB Duke Hotel, where we’re proud to offer an exceptional stay right on the stunning campus of Duke University in Durham, North Carolina! Our hotel sits at 230 Science Drive, surrounded by the towering pines of Duke Forest, just steps from legendary spots like Cameron Indoor Stadium and the Fuqua School of Business. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted by a sleek, modern vibe that’s earned us a AAA Four Diamond rating—think a stylish lobby buzzing with energy, a warm welcome from our team, and that perfect mix of Southern hospitality with a contemporary twist. We opened our doors in 2017 after a full renovation, and we’ve been delighting guests ever since with a space that’s as inspiring as the university itself.

Our location is a game-changer. You’re just a short walk from Duke Chapel’s gothic beauty or the serene Sarah P. Duke Gardens, and only 20 minutes from Raleigh-Durham International Airport—making it a breeze to get here and start exploring. Back at this property, unwind at the MarketPlace with seasonal dishes crafted by award-winning Chef Troy Stauffer, sip a cocktail at the Lobby Lounge by our outdoor fireplaces, or take a swing at our onsite pickleball courts. With 198 rooms and suites—each decked out with luxe bedding, oversized windows, and Duke-blue accents—we’re here to make your stay a cut above the rest. Curious about what sets us apart?
