St Michael's Manor Hotel

About St Michael's Manor Hotel

St Michael's Manor is a family-owned townhouse hotel built around a manor house with parts dating back several centuries, set in five acres of landscaped gardens with a lake, on the edge of the St Michael's conservation area. Its thirty bedrooms are individually decorated, ranging from cosy standard rooms to larger suites overlooking the grounds.

The hotel's gardens are one of its main draws, used for afternoon tea and drinks on warmer days, alongside a restaurant serving modern British menus built around seasonal produce. Its position between Verulamium Park and the city centre means both the Roman remains and the cathedral are within a short walk.

Being independently owned rather than part of a chain, the hotel has a more personal, country-house feel than its size might suggest, and it is regularly used for weddings and private events in addition to overnight stays, so it is worth checking availability around weekends in the summer months.
