CELEBRATING HISTORY AND HERITAGE

Once-in-a-lifetime experiences

At Historic Hotels of Europe, we celebrate the heritage of Europe through a carefully curated collection of historic places to stay. By connecting guests around the world with our portfolio of castles, palaces, villas, monasteries, convents and more, we protect and preserve each unique story for future generations. From remarkable destinations to sustainable hospitality, we take pride in delivering unforgettable experiences rooted in the living history of Europe.

Each of our unique properties tells a captivating story of European history. Step inside and discover centuries of character alongside luxurious hospitality, world-class service and fine dining.

The perfect combination of qualities

Founded in 1998, our collection has grown to span 24 European countries — yet our standards have never changed. Only the finest properties are welcomed: those that embody the perfect combination of qualities, from historic importance and inspiring stories to superb service and unique cultural character.

We champion local communities, promote diversity and inclusion, and are committed to sustainable hospitality that honours the places and people behind every property.

OUR PORTFOLIO OF HISTORIC HOUSES

Adventure and discovery await at every turn — whether that’s inside a quaint townhouse tucked within cobbled old-city streets, from the terrace of a castle with views across the valleys, or on the waterfront of a grand hotel where history meets the sea.
