Dear Friend ,
When the sightseeing is done, Europe's historic hotels come into their own. Swim from the rocks on Sweden's west coast, linger over dinner in the grounds of a German hunting lodge, drink an aperitivo with Etna on the horizon, or take over a private rooftop above a Dutch city. These are places where going to bed early would be a terrible waste of summer.
And before the evening gets away from you — don't forget to cast your vote in the Historic Hotels of Europe Awards 2026! Help us celebrate the continent's most outstanding properties.
