Many hotels converted from large private residences have gardens designed by famous garden designers or are particularly notable for their gardens. Alternative uses have had to be found for castles, palaces, monasteries, mansions and country seats which have become financially unviable as homes, 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. Examples include:
- Austria: Hotel im Palais Schwarzenberg
- England:
- Gravetye Manor, the former home of William Robinson
- Cliveden, designed by Charles Barry with a rose garden by Geoffrey Jellicoe
- Germany: Anholt Wasserburg Garten
- India: Udaipur Lake Palace, Udaipur, Rajasthan
- Italy:
- Villa Cipressi
- Villa d'Este, Lake Como
- Villa Serbelloni Garden
- Iran: Abbasi Hotel
- Portugal: Bussaco Palace
- Spain:
- Monasterio de Piedra Garden
- Hostal de los Reyes Catolicos
- United States:
- Mohonk Mountain House Gardens
- Grand Hotel Garden
- Guatemala:
- Hotel Quinta De Las Flores
