Contiki has chosen a wide range of accommodation in order for you to best appreciate what Europe has to offer. From a magnificent 4-star resort in Vienna, Austria, to Europe’s highest hotel on Mt Pilatus in Switzerland – you’ll travel Europe in style.
All are Superior Tourist Class Hotels and have excellent facilities while our special resort hotels have been chosen for their particular character, charm, location and style.
Please bear in mind the diversity and cultural differences seen almost every day in Europe as these differences can also be seen where you stay. While some clients enjoy the older style hotels, others enjoy a more modern design and our accommodation list offers a good balance of each style to suit everyones tastes.
It’s always difficult not to compare European hotels with the similar category of hotel at home or on another continent as generally speaking, European hotels are of a slightly lower standard than their equivalent in North America, Australasia or South Africa. European hotels sometimes tend not to have modern amenities such as air-conditioning, tea and coffee facilities, etc.
Where you stay is one of the main differences between tour styles offered by Contiki in Europe.

Please note: All contracts for your accommodation are negotiated by Contiki many months in advance. There may be times when hotels will provide alternative accommodation to that that is listed in your itinerary. Such situations are beyond Contiki’s control and we will do our utmost to minimize any inconvenience.
Superior Tourist Class Hotels are used throughout Europe for our Time Out/Superior/Hotel Tours.
PLEASE NOTE: These are just a sample of some of the many hotels Contiki uses throughout Europe and although those shown are a good representation, they are by no means a definitive list of all our contracted hotels. There is no guarantee that every tour will stay in the lodgings listed below. As a general rule, European hotels are smaller and less equipped in comparison to their North American counterparts and the standard, style and location of hotels, like the countries, varies from region to region. Check your Contiki Travel Documents for confirmation of your accommodations.
The following a sample of some of our Hotels and Accommodations used in Europe.



















probably not the right place to ask this, but is the first night (arrival date) included in the tour? for example, on the winter wanderer tour we arrive in London friday but dont leave until saturday morning. is friday night included?
