Hotel Details
Built in 1580 as the Marquis de Graveson's palace, the Europe has been a hotel since 1799. It is a plush oasis of elegance, sophistication and calm where the staff are outstanding. Its decor is traditional and quintessentially French.
Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning eloped here. And just about every famous Frenchman has stayed since then, from Napoleon, Victor Hugo and Châteaubriand to Mitterrand and Chirac, not to mention such esteemed foreigners as John Stuart Mill, Salvador Dalí and Picasso.
The 4-star Hotel d'Europe features exclusive facilities and first-class amenities, including a uniquely designed convention centre for meetings, private parties and banquets. Chef Bruno d'Angelis runs the on-site La Vieille Fontaine, the renowned Michelin-starred restaurant serving gourmet cuisine indoors or on the terrace shaded by a 250 year-old plane tree. In addition, you will find a refined piano bar and an elegant tea room.
All of the spacious guest rooms at Hotel d'Europe are tastefully decorated with antiques and fine fabrics, and are equipped with modern amenities such as individual air conditioning, mini bar, safe, flat screen satellite TV and wireless Internet access. In the street side rooms, your comfort is guaranteed by the highly efficient soundproof windows. |
