Occupying an attractive heritage townhouse, the Harpenden House Hotel features elegant Georgian details and a prestigious location in the trading town of Harpenden. Prior to being converted into a hotel in the 1970s, the building was used as a girls’ school and later as a religious convent. A highlight of any stay here is a drink in the Welcombe lounge in front of the charming 18th century fireplace. Guest rooms are situated in both the garden and main wings of the hotel and provide modern facilities.
