The Grand Hotel de l´Europe
The Grand Hotel de l´Europe began in 1857 when Frenchman J. Casteleyns started a modest establishment called the Hotel d'Europe at Hill Street. In 1860, the hotel moved to Beach Road. The hotel moved again in 1865 when Casteleyns occupied the Hotel de l'Esperance buildings at the Esplanade and renamed it the Hotel d'Europe. Castelyns managed the hotel until proprietress Mrs Hjelmstrom and Becker took over in 1869. Becker, in turn, ran the hotel until 1905 when it was acquired by a hotel syndicate for redevelopment. The building was demolished and rebuilt as the Grand Hotel de l'Europe. In 1906, renowned Jewish businessman Nissim Nissim Adis purchased the hotel and oversaw the completion of the new building. By 1911, the hotel was taken over by the Europe Hotel company and the Grand de l'Europe was renamed the The Europe Hotel in 1918.
