21c Museum Hotel, Contemporary art museum and luxury hotel in downtown Durham, United States
21c Museum Hotel is an art museum and luxury accommodation in downtown Durham that displays contemporary exhibitions throughout its public spaces and guest areas. The building functions as a place where artistic programming and hotel operations coexist within the same structure.
The building was constructed in 1937 as the Durham Bank & Trust Company headquarters and retained its original architecture when converted to a museum-hotel in 2015. The transformation preserved the distinctive features of the historic banking structure.
Contemporary artworks appear in public spaces and corridors where guests encounter them while moving through the building. This approach merges accommodation with art viewing, making creative expression part of your everyday experience during your stay.
The location is walkable in downtown Durham and offers rooms, dining, and spaces suitable for meetings or events. Its central position makes it convenient for guests to reach the area on foot and to explore the surroundings.
The former bank vault from the original building has been integrated into the restaurant design, surrounding diners with the vault's original metal safety deposit boxes. This unusual feature gives the dining space a distinctive historical character.
