In its heyday its proximity to the Harbour and the town centre made the Hotel de l'Europe one of the most important in St Helier. Opened in the mid-19th century and renowned for comfortable accommodation and excellent cuisine, today it is no longer a hotel, but a restaurant and nightspot called Chambers
