Hitchin Priory Hotel
Tucked away in the picturesque market town of Hitchin, Hertfordshire, the Hitchin Priory Hotel provides a tranquil escape from the fast pace of city living. Steeped in history dating back to the 14th century, our delightful hotel embodies timeless luxury. Surrounded by 19 acres of serene parkland, yet conveniently located just a short 2-minute stroll from Hitchin’s lively town centre, it offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility.
The Hitchin Priory Hotel enjoys a prime town centre location and yet still benefits from its own 19 acre parkland setting. The contrast in environment is striking, to one side is the quaint market town of Hitchin and to the other acres of secluded parkland allowing conference delegates and guests the best of both worlds. The grounds are ideal for outdoor activities of every kind.
Originally a Carmelite monastery built in 1317, Hitchin Priory has progressively evolved over the centuries and now gracefully combines a mosaic of ages. The Priory helps you forget the hustle and bustle of a busy business schedule, allowing you to enjoy distraction-free meetings and events with a clear head. With 52 bedrooms, this historic hotel is perfect for residential conferences and team away days.
Arched Cloisters, wooden panelled walls and detailed architraves all add to the character of this truly remarkable building. The main house offers gloriously decorated rooms ideal for private functions. Alternatively, the beautifully landscaped Marquee located adjacent to the River Hiz running through the grounds is capable of seating between 80-200 people and is ideal for corporate functions as well as weddings and other special occasions.
