Historic Hotels of Europe - a story to tell


Great Inns of Britain is proud to be the UK representative of the prestigious Historic Hotels of Europe collection, which brings together and promotes Europe’s finest historic hotels associations.

The Great Inns is part of HHE’s incredible collection of  over 600 châteaux, manors, convents, palaces, monasteries, farms, townhouses, villas, post-houses and family-owned residences – all of which represent the very best of their countries' national cultural traditions, historic heritage and architecture.

The Great Inns of Britain takes its place alongside 18 other carefully selected associations from right across Europe, all of which can be viewed through the website www.historichotelsofeurope.com. If you've had a great experience at a Great Inn, we recommend that you plan your next European holiday with the help of HHE.

HHE share the same passion and principles of The Great Inns of Britain in offering individual properties, with distinctive style, history and character, where guest can enjoy a unique and welcoming experience.
