Spending A Night In This Majestic Texas Castle Will Make You Feel Like Royalty

I’m sure all of us have fantasized about spending the night in a castle that wasn’t at Disney World – a REAL castle. Texas isn’t the first place that comes to mind when considering this dream, but the Lambermont Castle in San Antonio can make your fantasy a reality and transform your rags into a beautiful ball gown (figuratively).

The castle has a rich history and looks as if it hasn’t aged a bit since the day it was built – but then again, maybe it hasn’t. Castles are magical, after all.

Lambermont dates back to 1894, when Edwin Terrell, a former lawyer and ambassador to Belgium, had it built as a residence for his family.

It was built in the image of European castles that Mr. Terrell had fallen in love with on his business travels. He named it "Lambermont" after one of his business associates, and it served as home for him and his family until his passing in 1910.

Today, this gorgeous architectural wonder is open to the public as an event venue...and you can even spend the night within its walls.

You definitely won't feel like you're in Texas anymore when you wake up in this grandiose palace.

Although times have changed, Lambermont castle is still representative of the time period it was built in. You'll see crystal chandeliers, hand-carved woodwork, molded brick fireplaces, rich hardwood floors, and more.

Plus, who wouldn't want to bathe in a tub that looks like it came straight out of a King Arthur tale?

The castle goes all out for the holidays, so if you're a festive person, the next few months are the perfect time to stay here.

The halls are decked with boughs of holly, and the stockings are hung by the chimney with care (okay, this isn't a chimney, but play along).

The castle sits on one full acre of land surrounded by lush greenery, giving it an open yet private feel - perfect for parties. No matter what the occasion, there's never a wrong time to be king (or queen) for a day and revel in the amenities of a lavish castle that you have all to yourself.

Just looking at pictures of this majestic building makes me feel like a princess.

Rates for renting the castle start at $300/hour, and you can rent guest rooms starting at $150/night. Find more information here.
