Junior
Suites
Eight individually named suites. Reserve the collection and we'll choose your room, or explore each one and request your favourite.
Designed with extra space, our Junior Suites pair contemporary comfort with quiet references to Norfolk's landscape and heritage. Individually styled, thoughtfully refurbished, and calm in the heart of historic Norwich.
Eight rooms with stories of their own.

Named after one of Norfolk's rivers, with whimsical tree wallpaper, exposed beams, a large sitting area and a roll-top bath.
The Ranworth
A luxurious king-size four-poster bed anchors this suite, with a feature fireplace, exposed beams and a comfortable sofa area to relax in.
The Hickling
Original exposed beams and a luxurious roll-top bath, tucked into a warm, cosy retreat.
The Surlingham
Set beneath the eaves, a roll-top bath overlooking the Cathedral close, and a scheme inspired by Thetford Forest.

The Waveney
A brick-built fireplace, stained glass windows and a separate dressing room full of storage.
About the collection
No two alike, unmistakably ours.
Heritage features and modern ease, arranged a little differently in every room.
Every Junior Suite shares generous proportions and the same quiet contemporary comfort, but each is styled individually, taking its cues from the building it sits in. Some keep their original beams and fireplace; others frame the cathedral through sash windows or hide a freestanding bath beneath the eaves.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your rate. Where it isn't included, add it from £20 per person, served in the WinePress from 7am Mon to Fri, 7.30am Sat & Sun.
Can I bring a guest?
Yes, every junior suite sleeps two. Just include both guests' names when you book so we can have everything ready for you.
Is there parking?
Yes. On-site parking for residents is available on a first-come basis from £10 overnight, and we'll validate your ticket at reception. Public parking is also available at St Andrew's car park, an 8 minute walk away.
What time is check-in and check-out?
Check-in is from 3:00pm and check-out is until 11:00am. Early check-in is subject to availability, so please mention it when booking or ask reception on the day and we'll do our best. If your room isn't ready yet, we're happy to look after your luggage. Late check-out is sometimes possible; ask reception on the morning.
Are pets allowed?
Dogs are welcome in three dog-friendly Executive Rooms, bookable in advance and subject to availability, with a maximum of two dogs per room. Our suites aren't able to take pets.
Is there a lift?
As a historic building, parts of the hotel have no lift access, and some junior suites are reached by stairs alone, one only by a spiral staircase. Please mention any requirements when booking and we'll recommend the right room.
