Castle
Ideally situated on Lake Maggiore, the castle originally dates back to the 10th century, believed to have been a Roman castle. The castle was rebuilt again in the 12th century by the Visconti family, and it changed owners many times over the centuries. In between its owners, the castle spent many years being abandoned, and so it had to be reconstructed time and again. In the 19th century, it was rebuilt according to the neo-Gothic style and architecture, a design that the castle still retains until today.

Castle
Waterford Castle Hotel boasts a long history since it was first built during the 15th century. Situated on a private island, the castle largely maintains its initial splendour and grandeur, as guests can admire the carved stone and wood paneled hall as well as the original tapestries. The decoration of the 19 elegant bedrooms reflects the atmosphere of the castle as it used to be some hundred years ago, offering gracious yet modern comforts and making it ideal for a romantic stay or a lavish wedding ceremony.
The very first watchtower of Zamek Reszel was built in 1241, but the rest of the castle was constructed about 100 years later. Although it was initially built with heavy fortification for military purposes, by the 16th century it had turned into a hunting residence. In the early 19th century, the entire castle was destroyed by a fire and when it was rebuilt, most of its medieval elements were removed. After various renovations over the years, in 2001 it opened as a hotel with a restaurant, an art gallery and a museum.

The castle was initially built in 1851 when the head of the Tollemache family decided to build a fortified home reminiscent of a medieval castle. During World War II, the castle was used as a refuge for disabled children that had been evacuated. In 1952, the castle was granted Grade I-listed status for its historic importance and by the 1980s it was used as a place for live-action fantasy games and later on as a venue for business conferences and weddings. In 2006 its current owners purchased the castle to turn it into the majestic hotel that it is today.

Oheka Castle was built in 1919 by the financier and philanthropist Otto Hermann Kahn. During the 1920s, Kahn used the 127-room estate as a summer home where he hosted lavish parties, in which heads of state and Hollywood stars were among the people invited. After the death of Otto Kahn in 1934, the estate changed hands several times. It used to serve as a retreat for New York sanitation workers and a government training school for Merchant Marine radio operators. In 1948, the Eastern Military Academy bought Oheka but the school went bankrupt 30 years later. In 1984, renovations to restore the castle to its original grandeur started taking place. Today, Oheka is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a member of the Historic Hotels of America.

Hôtel de La Cité was initially built in 1909 and its premises were extended in 1913 and 1927. In the 1920s, it became a stop-over for those travelling between Nice and Biarritz or between Biarritz and Barcelona. The hotel was closed during the WWII and reopened in 1945. During the 1950s, it was at the height of its glory but it started declining in the 1960s, with the restaurant closing in 1969 and the hotel itself in 1987. Two years later, in 1989, it reopened under new ownership, but in 1997 Hôtel de la Cité changed hands once again. It was entirely renovated from 1998 to 2001 and the two existing hotels, the four-star Hôtel de la Cité and the three-star Hôtel Dame Carcas were merged into a single luxury hotel. In August 2011, the hotel was acquired by Christine Pujol, an owner of several charming hotels in Carcassonne, thereby opening a new chapter in the hotel's history.

Castle
The first house to be built on the Swinton Park estate was commissioned in 1695 by the English wool merchant and country gentleman Sir Abstrupus Danby. His successors built a stable block and gatehouse, and in the 1760s planted parks and created a chain of five lakes. In 1882, Samuel Cunliffe-Lister bought the castle at the age of 68. He embarked on an extensive building program, adding a third floor and expanding the dining room. From 1976 to 1998, the castle was occupied by the Lindley Education Foundation, which operated it as a management training center. Mark Cunliffe-Lister, Molly's great-grandson, bought the castle with his mother, brother and sister in May 2000. On June 17, 2000, Mark and Felicity (the current Baron and Baroness Masham) were married and, upon returning from their honeymoon, moved to Swinton to start the family business. The luxurious 32-bedroom castle hotel was opened in 2001 after a major renovation.
