More Hot European Hotels

This intimate, sixteen-room hotel is located in the center of historic Vienna, a mere two minutes from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The hotel is owned by chef/actor Robert Hollman, and he makes a point of serving each guest a personal breakfast: no generic buffet here! Whether you want to relax in the spa, peruse the hotel's library, sip a glass of complimentary tea or liquor, or play a game of Scrabble in the lounge (with its fireplace and piano bar), you’ll feel welcome here.

Opened in March 2007, this hotel sits atop a cliff overlooking the Adriatic Sea, 30 meters above Miramare Bay, with spectacular views of the sea from every room, all of which are equipped with the latest technology. A true sanctuary for those seeking a little R&R, the hotel embodies a Mediterranean feel, from its panoramic sea views to its refined chic-art concept organic materials. The hotel is within walking distance to shops, historical sights and monuments. Relax on the hotel’s beach complete with its own bar and restaurant.

Situated in the quiet residential area of South Kensington, Blakes is the brainchild of Anouska Hempel, who wears two hats: hotelier and internationally renowned designer. A haven for the glitterati, this is still a great place to stay for mere mortals, too. Think decadence: rich velvets, rare silks, mother-of-pearl furniture and trompe l’oeil walls. Relax in your European King sized four-poster bed and dine on original Asian-inspired food at the renowned Blake's Restaurant.

For a hotel that straddles the intersection between the Champs Elysees and Avenue George V, it should come as no surprise that this lavish Haussman-style building offers velvet furniture, sharkskin-encased flat-screen televisions and a terrace complete with silver-dipped tree branches. Indulge in a meal at La Galerie Joy, overlooking the hotel’s interior private garden. This is a hotel where tradition meets modernity and does it in oh-so-chic Parisian style.

Located in the historic center of Lisbon, this former 18th-century palace was once the home of novelist José Maria Eça de Queiroz. Situated next to the art museum and near the Tagus river, As Janelas Verdes — meaning "Green Windows" — has a warm, romantic atmosphere, combining antique furniture with modern comforts. Despite the throwback to a bygone era, the hotel still offers hi-tech amenities, including wireless Internet access in all rooms.
