With an idyllic setting in Australia's Hunter Valley Wine Country, Hunter Tower Lodge is an exceptional retreat for discerning travelers seeking a private indulgence. At the entrance to the lodge, 100-year-old French-timber coach doors open into a lounge with an enormous baronial fireplace and bar serving regional wines. Passageways bordering a Roman-style colonnaded courtyard lead to 11 individually designed guestrooms and one oversized suite. Excellent dining opportunities range from the relaxed Blaxland's to the gourmet, award-winning Robert's Restaurant, and naturally, the wine selection is superlative.
