Historic Hotels of Europe new article content ...

The original concept for forming a Federation with associations representing historic hotels, castles, manors and restaurants within Europe was the brainchild of the Chateaux et Hotels de France and the Schlosshotels of Austria. There were several individual traditional associations in various countries who were promoting a more cultural and historic style of holiday in their countries through properties that are in private ownership. The Federation was born in November 1997 and the first formal meeting of the European Federation of Traditional Accommodation and Historic Houses was held in Cadiz in Spain and hosted by the Estancias de España. The Historic Hotels of Europe was created with one sure objective: to bring together the National Hotel collections and establishments making up their countries’ historic heritage and architecture. The Historic Hotels of Europe association currently comprises 20 member associations from 23 European countries.
