Everyone wants to feel like a king or queen when they travel.
Room servicing lobster caviar frittatas sprinkled in gold dust to your penthouse hotel room will give you that feeling. And if you live just beyond the possibilities of the 1%, you too have some royal options – like sipping wine in the yards of an 11th-century chateau or posting up at 1191 A.D. temples fit for actual royalty.
