The Oldest Hotels in the World

"Built: 1666 The first owner of this 354-year-old English estate, George Villiers (also known as the second Duke of Buckingham), expanded the site from a 160-acre home to what visitors see today. Cliveden has seen many changes since it was built: It was bought for $1.25 million by William Waldorf Astor in 1893, and played a role in the Profumo affair in the mid-twentieth century. It was eventually converted into a hotel in 1984. In addition to the Cliveden House, there's the Spring Cottage that can be rented for large group trips and family vacations. It was built as a summerhouse and tea room for the Countess of Orkney in 1813, but frequented by Queen Victoria for afternoon tea. The grounds are steeped in so much history!"
