5 stunning castle hotels in Europe - SilverKris

"Perched above the town and overlooking the Rhine Valley, this historic fortress (origins c. 911–1166) has been operated as a family-run hotel since 1957 after extensive restorations; its layered history includes destruction in 1689 and 19th-century rebuilding. The 27 guestrooms are all unique—many with four-poster beds and balconies or terraces—and public spaces invite lingering in a fireplace room, the library or exploring the old prison tower. Terraced views across the valley are a highlight, weddings can be staged in a charming honeymoon house in the courtyard (with living room, large bathroom and walk-in closet), and reservations include breakfast plus a daily-changing four-course dinner." - BALVINDER SANDHU
