Hotel Details
Built in 1580 as the Marquis de Graveson's palace, the Europe has been a hotel since 1799. 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 (after whom they named the business centre), Tennessee Williams, Salvador Dalí and Picasso. It is a plush oasis of elegance, sophistication and calm where the staff are outstanding. Its decor is traditional and quintessentially French. |
