Sleeping like Royalty: The Best Castle Hotels in the World

Hotel Schloss Monchstein – Salzburg, Austria

The Monchstein grew from humble beginnings, built sometime before 1350 and described as a small stone tower with a house, stable, chapel, and barn on the grounds. However, by the 1800s, the castle underwent several expansions and became no stranger to royalty. Catherine the Great, the Princess of Liechtenstein, and famous poet Alexander von Humboldt all noted fond memories of the castle.

The Monchstein was converted into a hotel in 1948 and has won numerous awards for its warm hospitality since then. A popular wedding venue, Hotel Schloss Monchstein has a stellar 5-star guest review score on TripAdvisor, and guests say it is a true “fairytale castle” and “a wonderful place.” Breakfast is included daily and guests can relax in the spa or outdoor pool. Rooms start at $400.
