Château d'Urspelt

Top choice in Luxembourg


A vision of conical turrets and grand gates, this romantic castle wraps around a central courtyard overlooked by an elevated swimming pool and sun terrace. It's worth upgrading to a superior room or palatial suite for the full fairy-tale experience; suites come with sofa beds and sleep up to four people. Its gourmet restaurant serves exquisitely presented modern European cuisine.

Other amenities include a hot tub and a steam room, as well as charging points for electric vehicles. It's 4km northeast of Clervaux.

Occupying the site of a 13th-century castle, the present 1860-built château was extensively damaged in WWII due to its use as a German command post and field hospital. It was completely restored between 2005 and 2008, when it opened as a hotel.
