6 of the Most Beautiful Historic Hotels in Europe

If the San Domenico Palace looks familiar, you'll perhaps have recognized it from its starring role in the second season of HBO's hit series The White Lotus.

Located on Sicily's breathtaking east coast, the San Domenico Palace Hotel started life as a 14th-century convent overlooking the Ionian Sea. It has been a luxury hotel since Prince Domenico Rosso di Cerami acquired it in the 1890s. A roll call of its most illustrious guests includes King Edward VII, Oscar Wilde, Truman Capote, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, and Sophia Loren. Today, the Four Seasons hotel group is the conservator of its history and has ensured the hotel remains meticulously well-kept inside and out.
