Historic “A Story To Share” Award 2022
Known as “the hotel from fairytales”, it’s no surprise that Dalen Hotel in Norway snagged this year’s “Story To Share” award. Between its “floating” spa, jaw-dropping architecture and exciting common areas, including a terrace and gallery, there’s plenty of ways for guests to make memories here.
- Silver Award Winner: Schloss Hertefeld in Germany
- Bronze Award Winner: Suter Palace Heritage Hotel in Romania
Historic Castle Hotel Award 2022
Chateau Liblice in the Czech Republic has perfected the art of blending the old with the new, and combines a classic atmosphere with contemporary comforts, such as top-class amenities and decadent room service. There’s a restaurant and spa to explore, too: both of which elevate this property to heavenly heights.
- Silver Award Winner: Castello di Gargonza in Italy
- Bronze Award Winner: Barberstown Castle in Ireland
Historic Hotel City Award 2022
Hotel Stefanie in Austria has done it again, and has swept up the accolade of best historic city hotel for the second time (having also won in this category in 2020). Having operated since the year 1600, it’s the oldest hotel in Vienna, and has clearly lost none of its charm or first-rate hospitality over the centuries.
- Silver Award Winner: Hotel Britania in Portugal
- Bronze Award Winner: Hotel Cattaro in Montenegro
Historic Hotel Wedding Experience Award 2022
Hotel Gino Park Palace has been named the best place in our Collection to say “I do”. This Slovakian gem goes above and beyond to make weddings as magical as possible – and even offers their clients the help of professional wedding organisers to take care of their special day’s finest details, from the ceremony itself to cutting the cake.
- Silver Award Winner: Villa Bergzauber in Austria
- Bronze Award Winner: Villa Cipriani in Italy
Historic Natural Setting Hotel Award 2022
Overlooking Bantry Bay and Garinish Island on the famous Wild Atlantic Way coastline, Eccles Hotel is situated in one of the most enviable places in all of Ireland. Glorious trips into the countryside are a must here, though the hotel itself also deserves its own fair share of attention. From its rejuvenating rooms to lounge areas, it exudes charm.
- Silver Award Winner: Kyrimai Hotel in Greece
- Bronze Award Winner: Renvyle House Hotel in Ireland
Historic Romantic Hideaway Hotel Award 2022
Greece’s island of Santorini has long-been called one of the most romantic places to travel to in Europe… especially if you stay at Esperas Santorini, according to this year’s voters. This pearlescent property contains 17 Greek-style studios complete with perks such as jacuzzis, luxurious beds and bathroom amenities. It’s a paradise for lovers.

Historic Spa & Wellness Hotel Award 2022
The spa and wellness services at Italy’s Relais San Biagio are as unique as they are regenerative, with treatments inspired by the age-old traditions of the property and the monks who once lived there. It’s an incredible place to boost your mind, body and spirit before exploring beautiful Perugia.

Historic Hotel Sustainability Award 2022
Schloss Wartegg is the first to be dubbed the best sustainable hotel in the Historic Hotels of Europe Awards 2022.

New Entry Historic Hotel Award 2022
The peaceful Komierowo Palace in Poland is a wonderful recent addition to our Collection.
