Top 10 Castle Hotels Worldwide

When it comes to castles, their histories are, quite literally, the stuff of legends. And although they were once the domain of the most elite in the land, many have now been taken over by canny developers and restored for the pleasure of mere mortals. Long gone are the drafts and damp. Better yet, castle holidays are affordable and not just for celebrity royals such as the Beckhams or Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes. This means that you, too, can enjoy sumptuous suites, grand views and fantastic dining options. If you’ve ever dreamed of peering out from a turret or gazing across a moat, it’s time to channel your inner princess or knight in shining armor and book a stay at one of these unique properties.
