Three-day weekend? We know exactly what to do with that. 😎

Slow mornings. Long lunches. Good company. A little sunshine. And plenty of time to do absolutely nothing on purpose.

Make your long weekend a chance to step away, recharge, and enjoy the moment at the JB Duke Hotel!

A little quiet goes a long way. 🌿

Settle into the back terrace at the JB Duke Hotel with a good book, a favorite drink, or simply a few uninterrupted moments to yourself. Surrounded by trees and the peaceful beauty of campus, it’s the perfect place to slow down and stay awhile.

We wrapped up another inspiring season of Artful Evenings with the Durham Art Guild in the Lobby Lounge! A heartfelt thank you to all of the talented local artists who shared their work with us throughout the series.

For our final evening, guests even had the chance to step up to the canvas and create something of their own alongside Julie Wolk, making for a memorable close to the season.

We can't wait to introduce a new lineup of artists soon. Stay tuned, and visit jbdukehotel.com/experiences for upcoming events and details.

Last call for Greg Dreyer’s cocktails! 🍸⏰

There’s still time to enjoy the final featured creations from this year’s “Be Our Guest” Bartender Series before they leave the menu tomorrow.

Crafted by Greg Dreyer of Glasshouse Kitchen, this week’s specials include:

🍇 Grapes Are Good — a bright blend of pisco, sauvignon blanc syrup, pineapple and lemon

🥃 Alma Mater — a spirit-forward combination of bonded rye, Benedictine, sweet vermouth and dry vermouth

Every sip also gives back. Through tomorrow, 10% of proceeds from these featured cocktails will benefit Ripe for Revival and their mission to reduce food waste while increasing access to nutritious food throughout our community.

Stop by the Lobby Lounge tonight or tomorrow for one last taste of this year’s “Be Our Guest” Bartender Series before we raise our final glass. Thank you to all of our incredible guest bartenders, community partners and guests who made this year’s series such a success! ✨
