Europa Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Europa Hotel is a four star hotel in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The hotel has 240 bedrooms, and claims to be the largest in Northern Ireland. It opened in July 1971.

The Europa was damaged 33 times by Provisional IRA bombs between 1972 and 1994, and was known as "the most bombed hotel in Europe". The nearby Grand Opera House was also also extensively damaged on several occasions.^[1]

Bill Clinton stayed in the hotel during his 1995 presidential visit. Two series of a BBC documentary series Lobby Lives were filmed at the hotel, which is very popular with celebrities who visit Belfast. The hotel is part of the Hastings Group.
