Following a GBP 2 million refurbishment in 2007, the Harpenden House Hotel now features 2 fully modernised conference and event rooms; the Garden Suite and the Evergreen Room. 14 of the main house rooms were also refurbished to provide modern, comfortable facilities in individual feature rooms, including air conditioning. Dramatic changes took place to the Georgian Restaurant, Welcome Lounge and bar areas to enhance their original charm and bring both modern comfort and character. The majority of rooms and meeting rooms are adjacent to the main house in the Garden Courtyard and Hertfordshire wing.
