About Sopwell House

Sopwell House is a Georgian manor house set in twelve acres of grounds a short drive south of St Albans city centre, built around an original house with later wings added for its spa, conference and leisure facilities. The 126 bedrooms range from traditional country-house rooms in the main house to more contemporary suites in the newer wings.

The hotel's spa is one of the larger facilities of its kind in Hertfordshire, with an indoor pool, thermal suite and treatment rooms, alongside a country club membership used by both hotel guests and local members. Dining runs across several venues on site, including a brasserie and a more formal restaurant, with produce drawn where possible from Hertfordshire suppliers.

Its position just off the A1057 makes it an easy drive from the M1 and M25, while still leaving St Albans city centre and the cathedral within about fifteen minutes on foot or a short taxi ride, making it a popular choice for both weekend breaks and business stays that want some distance from the town itself.
