Best Hotels in Hemel Hempstead
Hemel Hempstead is a post war new town wrapped around an older market town, with the Chilterns not far off. Knowing which half you are staying in changes the whole evening.
The Old Town for older frontages and a Norman church
The Old Town is the original market town, gathered around the Norman church of St Mary, with older frontages and a calmer pace than the planned centre. It suits a stay with some character, though the new town's shops and gardens lie a little way off.

Marlowes and the river gardens for a central base
Marlowes is the spine of the post war centre, and the landscaped gardens beside the River Gade lie a step away, a rare patch of calm in a busy centre. Staying here keeps shops and buses close, though it is functional rather than pretty.

Maylands and the M1 for business nights
Maylands is the large business area on the eastern side, close to the A414 and the M1. It is where travelling work puts people, and a late arrival is easy, but there is little to walk to in the evening, so expect to drive or call a taxi.

Getting around without the station
Hemel Hempstead's station, on the Euston line, is at Boxmoor, a good distance from the centre, so reaching the Old Town, Marlowes or Maylands means a taxi or bus. The town was planned around cars, so judge any hotel by the road you will use after dark and the weekday traffic on the A414.
