Comfort Suites Raleigh Durham Airport/RTP is just 10 minutes from the Duke Chapel, which has become popular for it's charm throughout the years.
Constructed from 1930 to 1932, the Chapel seats about 1,800 people and stands 210 feet (64 m) tall, making it one of the tallest buildings in Durham County. It is built in the Collegiate Gothic style, characterized by its large stones, pointed arches, and ribbed vaults. The tower was heavily inspired by Boston College's Gasson Hall, which was built 19 years earlier. It also has a 50-bell carillon and three pipe organs, one with 5,033 pipes and another with 6,900 pipes.
Guided tours of the Chapel are available to school groups, senior citizens’ groups, and church groups of 12 to 50 people. Tours are limited to the inside of the Chapel, for 30 to 45 minutes. Reservations must be made with the Visitor and University Relations Specialist. The Visitor and University Relations Specialist also schedules walk-through tours of the Chapel for those with groups exceeding 50 people and for chartered tour groups or for those who have uncertain travel plans. Many groups take advantage of the campus-wide tours offered through the Admissions Office. These tours include the Chapel and other points of interest on campus.
