VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club has long served as one of
Durham, North Carolina’s premier hotels for tradition done with a high-end touch. That being the case, it is only fitting that the property’s signature restaurant, Fairview Dining Room, has carried itself in a similarly refined manner since opening its doors back in 1988.
After loosening its collar somewhat (more booths, less delicate place settings) in 2012, the Forbes Travel Guide Recommended restaurant moves at an easygoing pace but still takes its stellar table service very seriously.
Executive chef Troy Stauffer's menu is one that’s filled with New American cuisine done with subtle preparatory winks to the old South. Parties of all shapes will enjoy the seasonal dishes — and while a few of them will tap their feet to the nightly piano tunes, all will certainly leave with a smile.
