Hotel Europe is a six-story heritage building located at 43 Powell Street (at Alexander) in the Gastown area of Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was commissioned by hotelier Angelo Calori and built in 1908-1909 by Parr and Fee Architects. Situated on a triangular lot, the building is designed in the flatiron style. It was the first reinforced concrete structure to be built in Canada and the earliest fireproof hotel in Western Canada. Contractors had to be brought in from Cincinnati, Ohio for the necessary expertise; the Ferro-Concrete Construction Company began this project six years after constructing the first tall concrete building in the world.

  • Hotel Europe is a six-story heritage building located at 43 Powell Street (at Alexander) in the Gastown area of Vancouver, British Columbia. The building was commissioned by hotelier Angelo Calori and built in 1908-1909 by Parr and Fee Architects. Situated on a triangular lot, the building is designed in the flatiron style. It was the first reinforced concrete structure to be built in Canada and the earliest fireproof hotel in Western Canada. Contractors had to be brought in from Cincinnati, Ohio for the necessary expertise; the Ferro-Concrete Construction Company began this project six years after constructing the first tall concrete building in the world. With funding from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the building was renovated in 1983 as affordable housing with A. Ingre and Associates as the project designers. The residential units are now managed by the Affordable Housing Society. A beer parlour formerly existed below the ground floor, which included areaways extending underneath the above sidewalks. To prevent a cave-in from the weight of pedestrians and above ground traffic, the City of Vancouver filled the areaway in with pea gravel at a cost of $215,000, which presumably can be easily removed in the event of future restoration. The Hotel Europe was one of the filming locations for the suspense movie The Changeling. In it, the building houses the Seattle Historical Society, but the hotel sign can be seen on the right side facade of the building in some takes. Some scenes are set on its roof terrace. Hotel Europe was also a filming location in the 1994 epic drama film Legends of the Fall. It is also one of the locations for the music video Likey from the Korean female group twice. It also appeared in the 1984 film The NeverEnding Story, as well as its 1990 sequel The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter. The exterior is also briefly shown in the 2007 family comedy film Are We Done Yet?, as Ice Cube carries out a cardboard standee of Magic Johnson. (en)

Con la financiación de la , el edificio fue renovado en 1983 para ser convertido en un edificio de viviendas con A. Ingre and Associates como diseñadores del proyecto. Las viviendas residenciales están gestionadas ahora por the Affordable Housing Society.​ Antiguamente existía una cervecería debajo de la planta baja con dos escaleras subterráneas que se extendían por debajo de las aceras. Para evitar el derrumbe de las escaleras por el peso de los peatones y por el tráfico que circulaba por la calle, la ciudad de Vancouver tapó las escaleras con gravilla con un coste de 215.000 dólares, que presumiblemente se puede quitar en caso de una futura restauración.​ El Hotel Europe fue uno de los lugares de rodaje de la película de terror, Al final de la escalera. En él, el edificio alberga la sociedad histórica de Seattle, pero el cartel del hotel se puede ver en la fachada lateral derecha del edificio en alguna toma. Algunas escenas fueron realizadas en la terraza de la azotea. (es)
