About this property
Verulam or Sopwell (Standard En-suite King Room)
The Standard En-suite King rooms, Verulam and Sopwell, are designed to meet your every need. Sink into a large, soft bed for a restorative night’s rest, or unwind in comfort and privacy for an evening, enjoying high-speed Wi-Fi and a flat-screen smart TV. You will have your own en-suite bathroom (shower), a hairdryer, and a safe to keep your valuables securely locked away. The room’s tea and coffee-making facilities will ensure that your night’s sleep is followed by a morning that starts just the way you like it. You will also have access to a separate kitchenette with a dining table on the first floor which is shared with other guests. Torrington Hall is a Victorian mansion, built in 1882, set within its own grounds that has been converted into luxury self-catered accommodation, located in the heart of the old, charming city of St. Albans.
Many of the building’s original features have been restored and preserved, such as the sweeping staircase, chandeliers, and ornate interior. To compliment such features, the furnishings are a mixture of old-fashioned glamour with a modern twist.
There are 14 unique, luxurious bedrooms with original period features: high ceilings, exposed brick walls, fireplaces, and free-standing bathtubs. The traditional wrought-iron beds hold the finest mattresses and bedding to provide a dreamy night’s sleep. The rooms are also practical, with en-suite bathrooms, Wi-Fi, safes, and tea and coffee-making facilities.
Conveniently located in the heart of the old city of St. Albans, Torrington Hall is a short walk from all the attractions this charming, cobbled, old but vibrant city has to offer. Guests can enjoy the historic Roman and ancient British sites, shops, traditional markets, food stalls, bars, pubs, restaurants, spas and the theatre.
With free, on-site private parking, and a nearby bus stop and train station, our guests who wish to venture further afield have a perfect base from which to do so. It’s half an hour by train to get to London and 20 minutes by car to get to Hatfield house or the famous Warner Bros Harry Potter Studio Tour!

Lovely hotel and experience in the heart of St Albans
Loved the room and facilities. Location worked really well for us, with everything we needed in walking distance. Special mention to Katherine who was wonderful, helping us figure out some specific requirements to make our stay even more comfortable (and at the last minute too!). 5 Stars!

Elegant comfortable rooms in town centre
Central; position. Lovely big, clean, comfortable, warm rooms with views. Elegant vintage furniture. Well appointed and clean en suite arrangements. Convenient shared kitchen area for self catering. Free, convenient parking. Few minor niggles - the entry code we were sent was incorrect so we were locked out late at night; fortunately someone came to let us in. Also some window locks made opening windows im[ossible.
