Europa Hotel

Once the IRA's favorite hotel target in Belfast, the Europa is the city's best hotel. Former U.S. President Bill Clinton stays here when he's in town, and for good reason -- the lobby is warm and welcoming, with Irish art on the walls and a fire crackling in the hearth. Hotel workers are as friendly as Belfastians get. An ongoing renovation has left the hotel modern but not soulless. The guest rooms are spacious and filled with mahogany furnishings, rich fabrics, and marble bathrooms. The downsides are the restaurant and bar, which lack the style displayed effortlessly in the rest of the hotel. But there are excellent restaurants on the Golden Mile (as the street out front is known), and one of the city's best historic pubs, the Crown Liquor Saloon, is just across the street.
