A European city of many cultures, Luxembourg naturally encourages one to take strolls along the medieval pedestrian walkways that meander through the historic capital of the city. The Bock Casemates, listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1994, provide a unique example in the world of the medieval defence system in place at European forts. Rich with this past, Luxembourg looks forward to the future. Being a location of international finance, housing the headquarters of European institutions and having a high concentration of businesses specializing in high technology, the city currently projects a cosmopolitan, energetic, and multicultural atmosphere.
In 2001, Hilton acquired the largest hotel in the city in terms of volume, profiting once again, from an excellent site at the heart of the majestic Grünewald Forest, located close to the thousand-year old city centre of the capital, the European district, and the international airport.
