The Noke St Albans continues a tradition of hospitality dating back to Victorian times, when the nearby A1 was still the Great North Road. In recent times, St Albans has enjoyed a mini-boom; in a recent version of Monopoly, it’s displaced Mayfair as the priciest property on the board.

It is one of the few hotels in St Albans City Centre popular for business meetings and other functions; we work with international event management company MotivAction to offer team-building events and activities in our spacious grounds.
A leading business & Leisure hotel in St Albans Town Centre

We have 110 bedrooms, including 44 Deluxe bedrooms and suites, and six meeting rooms, the largest seating 250 people theatre-style. With our landscaped grounds, easy accessibility and ample free parking on-site, Thistle St Albans is a popular wedding venue.

We’re close to St Albans itself, with its Norman cathedral and old-world market-town charm: for the more energetic, the rolling chalk hills of the Chilterns offer superb walking; or you can simply relax here in our Otium Health & Leisure Club.

Plus, we're also only 6 miles away from The Making of Harry Potter Tour at the Warner Bros. Studios. This fantastic tour provides an exceptional showcase of the artistry, technology and talent that went into making one of the most successful film series of all time.
