"Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s original pontifical castle is in ruins, but a second castle, this one a neoclassical château on a hilltop overlooking the vineyards and the village, lives on as a luxury hotel. Hostellerie du Château des Fines Roches exudes old-world grandeur — most of its rooms and suites feature glamorous four-poster canopy beds, decorative chandeliers, and French doors opening onto the gardens, and a few come wtih unique features like a spiral staircase leading to a private bathroom in the castle’s turret. Highlights include a courtyard swimming pool, a fireplace lounge, a tranquil spa, and an elegant restaurant with terrace seating overlooking the vineyards." - Tablet Hotels
