Many hotels have gardens designed by famous garden designers. This came about because of democratisation of society: large mansions were built for aristocratic families and in most parts of the world the idea of a large extended family living under one roof has, to say the least, fallen from popularity. Alternative uses have had to be found for castles, palaces, monasteries, mansions and country seats - and their conversion into hotels has often been successful. This has led to the creation of 'garden hotels', many of which are better known for their gardens than for their modern use as hotels. The list includes:

  • England: Gravetye Manor, the home of William Robinson and Cliveden, designed by Charles Barry with a rose garden by Geoffrey Jellicoe,
  • India: Udaipur Lake Palace
  • America: Mohonk Mountain House Gardens; Grand Hotel Garden
  • Germany: Anholt Wasserburg Garten
  • Austria: Hotel im Palais Schwarzenberg
  • Italy: Villa Cipressi; Villa d'Este, Lake Como; Villa Serbelloni Garden
  • Spain: Monasterio de Piedra Garden; Hostal de los Reyes Catolicos
  • Portugal: Bussaco Palace
  • Iran: Abbasi Hotel
