Sleeping like Royalty: The Best Castle Hotels in the World

Travelversed Editors | July 14, 2017

Colmberg Castle – Bavaria, Germany

This traditional medieval castle has an unknown origin, but was first mentioned in official records in 1318, when it was purchased by Duke Frederick IV of Nuremburg. Colmberg Castle sits on a hilltop with fantastic views, which was likely one reason why the Hohenzollern family retained ownership for over 500 years. Most recently, the property was converted into a hotel in 1964 by the Unbehauen family.

All rooms include breakfast and some are furnished with historic four-poster beds. Each room has a theme, like the Chinese Four-Poster Bedroom with ancient wood carvings. If you visit in the winter, the Kaminzimmer (fireplace room) is the perfect place to relax by the fire with a glass of local German wine. Rooms start from $117.
