\nCirca 1228, this massive estate has stunning views and lavish rooms that
\nseem as if they were written for a romance novel. And with activities such
\nas falconry and archery, you're sure to feel like you've stepped back to the
\ntime of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Enter through stone walls and under lattice wrought iron gates to discover
\nan authentic English castle. You're sure to feel like Cinderella in the
\ntraditional English appointed rooms with four-poster beds, medieval
\narchitecture and stained glass windows. Just don't forget your glass
\nslippers.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis destination is a romantic French fantasy come to life. Well manicured
\ngardens and reflecting ponds lead you to this historic castle where you'll
\ncross a drawbridge to find walls covered in ivy and framed with turrets.
\nThe interior is just as majestic with 18th century ceiling frescoes and
\nluxurious canopy beds.\n<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This excessively extravagant hotel takes on the shape of a sail boat in the
\nArabian sea and there are only two ways to arrive, by Rolls Royce or by
\nhelicopter. Here you can experience fine dining underwater or under the
\nstars … literally. Their luxurious Royal Suite comes complete with 22
\ncarat gold fittings, a rotating four poster bed, gold and marble stair case
\nand private cinema.\n<\/p>\n
\nFor the ultimate in urban opulence, a stay in the Ty Warner Pent House Suite
\nwill have you sleeping on a Swedish mattress entirely made by hand using all
\nnatural materials. Fabrics throughout the suite are threaded with platinum
\nand gold while some of the walls are even surfaced with semi-precious
\nstones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
