ROYAL ROMANCE TOUR

Royal Romance Tour

When someone pictures a castle, the next thought that often comes with it is the couple who live there. Most castles these days lack the second part, but that can be fixed. Take you and a partner on a royal romance tour to some of the world’s most beautiful castles! After the year that we’ve had, we could all use such a trip.

Hôtel de la Cité Carcassonne, France

For those looking for a romantic vacation straight out of a Disney tale, this should be the first option. This hotel sits in the French city of Carcassonne and is surrounded by medieval structures. Carcassonne itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and offers plenty of relaxing sights and sounds for a romantic couple. With all the benefits of French wine and a view from the ramparts, you won’t be disappointed by this castle.

Castlehotel Schönburg, Germany

Another UNESCO Heritage Site, this castle overlooks the Rhine Valley in Germany. You’ll find that the castle remains mostly unchanged, while it has all the benefits of a modern hotel. For those planning a honeymoon, they might find that strolling around the small town of Oberwesel the most relaxing one available. There are hiking paths, bicycle tours and vineyards to explore and experience while your royal trip continues.

Thornbury Castle Hotel, England

Are you looking to live like British royalty for your romantic travel destination? The Thornbury Castle Hotel in South Gloucestershire might be your ideal location. The structure itself is an actual Tudor castle from the 16th century. Observe all around as the regal fabrics and stone walls take you and your partner back through time. You can even sleep in the same bedchamber that King Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn slept in. For your time spent in Gloucestershire itself, you can visit the various scenic trails in the area. Perhaps you would want to leave to the nearby city of Bristol and explore a zoo or the steam ship SS Great Britain. Regardless, you won’t lack options at this royal retreat.

Le Château Frontenac, Canada

For couples who would prefer a castle outside of Europe, we found just the option to fulfill that need. There are clear influences of the French in this dominant hotel castle. Amidst the modern sights of the rest of Quebec, the Château Frontenac dominates the skyline. Elements of Italianate, Victorian and Gothic architecture can be found on this grand railway hotel. Outside of the hotel itself, you can explore Old Quebec along with the rest of the city. The Quartier Petit Champlain is the oldest shopping district in North America and a great place to pick up reminders of this romantic trip. Take walking and biking tours around the city to see other sites like the Notre-Dame Basilica and the Citadel.

Regardless of where you go, these castle hotels will undoubtedly give a royal experience to whoever stays there. Where you are planning a honeymoon or just need a romantic travel destination, these castles will deliver just what you are looking for. Of course, some of the opportunities might be shut down or different due to COVID. However, once the vaccine becomes widespread and travel resumes, there will be no better place to go than a castle.
