St Michael’s Manor has been owned by the Newling Ward family since 1965 and they still play an active role in the management of this delightful hotel.

Set in five acres of award winning gardens, with a one acre lake, the hotel is located just five minutes walk from St Alban’s Abbey and the city centre.

The manor house was built by John Gape in 1585 and the date with his initials is still visible in the ceiling of the oak panelled lounge. The Gape family continued to live at the manor for almost 400 years and during that time contributed greatly to the development of the city.

In 2011 a new orangery was built and the ground floor of the hotel was refurbished to the highest standard whilst retaining all its richness and historical detail. The 30 bedrooms and superb dining facilities combine a classical style with an informal, relaxed atmosphere.
