Dromoland Castle

Dromoland Castle, near Newmarket-on-Fergus in County Clare, Ireland, was built between the 15th and 16th centuries and once belonged to the Earl of Thomand. Today, it’s renowned for its golf course and Michelin-starred restaurant.

Dromoland Castle

The luxurious 5-star Dromoland Castle features Queen Anne staterooms and suites, complete with bathrobes, slippers and room service. Just call down for champagne, chocolates, or even fresh flowers and they’ll be whisked up to your room immediately.

The Culloden Estate and Spa

The Culloden Estate and Spa in Belfast, Ireland, was built in 1876 with stone brought over by boat from Scotland. In the 19th century, it was passed down by the original owners of the estate to the Church of Ireland Bishop of the Diocese and became known as the "Bishop’s Palace."

The Culloden Estate and Spa

Join other guests of the hotel in Culloden’s drawing room for tea and sandwiches, admire the 12 acres of secluded gardens, or pop by the spa for a fresh smoothie and holistic treatment.

Cliveden House

Cliveden House in Berkshire, England, has been host to many of the politically powerful since 1666, when it was first built by the 2nd Duke of Buckingham to entertain his mistress. Guests to the hotel are still greeted today by the Fountain of Love, commissioned in 1897 for the garden.

Cliveden House

This French dining room at Cliveden House was constructed in 1897 to match Madame de Pompadour's 18th-century dining room at the Chateau d'Asnieres. It’s available to rent for private lunches or dinners -- if a meal at the Michelin-starred chef Andre Garrett’s restaurant is a bit too pedestrian.

The Castle Hotel & Spa

The Castle Hotel & Spa is an oasis on this side of the Atlantic in Tarrytown, NY. Built between 1897 and 1910 by General Howard Carroll, the castle was originally called Carrollcliffe. In 1997, it was transformed into the lavish hotel and spa it is today.

The Castle Hotel & Spa

With its 40-foot vaulted ceilings, Gothic stained-glass windows and crystal chandeliers, the Great Hall at the Castle Hotel & Spa is available for weddings and other events. Your guests will be glad to take in a massage at the THANN Sanctuary before diving into their goose-down beds.

Schloss Fuschl Resort and Spa

Austria’s Schloss Fuschl Resort & Spa is like a castle right out of a fairytale, perched on the edge of Lake Fuschl. Its history goes back to the year 1450 when it was built as a hunting lodge, and in 1947, it became a first-class hotel.

Schloss Fuschl Resort and Spa

Schloss Fuschl’s wine cellar is an intimate place to enjoy a little fondue along with their wide selection of red and white wines. Take your wine out to the terrace to enjoy the sunset over Lake Fuschl.

Grand Hotel Dei Castelli

The Grand Hotel Dei Castelli in the town of Sestri Levante, Italy, was built between 1925 and 1929 when the peninsula was bought by a financier for his villa. It was transformed into a hotel full of history and art in 1950.

Grand Hotel Dei Castelli

Known as the "pool of castles," this natural swimming pool forms right below the grounds of the Grand Hotel Dei Castelli and stretches out into the open Mediterranean waters. Grab a cocktail at the beach bar before braving the rocks or lie beneath an umbrella on the sandy part of the pool’s beach.

Castello Chiola

On the highest hill in the small, medieval town of Loreto Aprutino, Italy, sits the Castello Chiola, dating back to the year 864. Its 36 spacious rooms have been renovated with every modern convenience, all situated in historic, ancient elegance.

Castello Chiola

Back in the day, the celliere, or cellar, at the Castello Chiola was where the poor travelers would gather for wine, fruit and maybe bread, before heading back out on their journey. Now the cellar has been transformed into a modern restaurant embracing simple food in the tradition of the Italian region of Abruzzo.
