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
