A magnificent 16th Century private mansion, completely re-modelled in the 18th Century, and continually modernised since then, Hotel d’Europe is one of the oldest hotels in France. In this unique setting, the hospitality from the professional and dedicated team is discreet and warm. In the 20th Century, many artists, actors and Heads of State have added their names to the hotel’s illustrious guest list. Picasso and Salvador Dali were both loyal customers in the post-war period. Jackie Kennedy also chose to stay here during her last visit to her family’s homeland in 1993, and the Presidents of India, Italy and France have all enjoyed the luxurious suites on the third floor.
