About Clarion Collection Hotel St Albans City Centre

The Clarion Collection Hotel occupies Ryder House, a Grade II listed building on Holywell Hill built in 1911 by Samuel Ryder, the seed merchant who later donated the Ryder Cup, to house his company's headquarters. The conversion has kept much of the original character, with sixty guest rooms including standard doubles, twins, family rooms and executive options.

Its position directly opposite the Abbey puts the cathedral, museum quarter and market streets within a couple of minutes' walk, making it one of the more central options for visitors without a car. The hotel restaurant serves breakfast through to dinner, and rates typically include a hosted evening meal and breakfast as standard for this brand.

Free on-site parking is unusual for a hotel this central, and three meeting rooms make it a workable choice for business visitors as well as leisure guests exploring the city on foot.
