If you're tuning into Hulu's "Vanderpump Villa," the latest reality show centered on one of Lisa Vanderpump's businesses, you know there's no shortage of drama among the beautiful and chaotic staff at Château Rosabelle.
But if you're more interested in the vicarious thrill of watching wealthy people have one-of-a-kind luxury travel experiences, well, good news: There's plenty of that, too.
As Business Insider previously reported, "Vanderpump Villa" isn't just a remixed version of "Vanderpump Rules," which has followed the personal lives of the staff at Vanderpump's West Hollywood restaurant SUR since 2013. Vanderpump herself broke down the difference in a recent interview with BI, pointing to the fact that "Villa" focuses more on "the beauty of the château and the whole experience — the flowers, the food… the kitchen."
Sure enough, the château is stunning and evokes travel goals for anyone who may be sitting at their desk while daydreaming about sipping on a themed cocktail in the south of France instead. But although Vanderpump's Château Rosabelle is billed as a one-off pop-up hotel experience that only ran for several months in 2023 when "Vanderpump Villa" was filmed, you can actually stay there yourself for a surprisingly affordable price.
Here's a closer look at the château and what to know about booking a stay there.

It’s inevitable: Every spring when we pull together the Hot List, our annual collection of the world’s best new hotels, restaurants, and cruise ships, a staffer remarks that this latest iteration has got to be the best one ever. After a year’s worth of traveling the globe—to stay the night at a converted farmhouse in the middle of an olive grove outside Marrakech, or sail aboard a beloved cruise line’s inaugural Antarctic voyage—it’s easy to see why we get attached. But this year’s Hot List, our 28th edition, might really be the best one ever. It’s certainly our most diverse, featuring not only a hotel suite that was once Winston Churchill’s office, but also the world’s largest cruise ship and restaurants from Cape Town to Bali. We were surprised and inspired by this year’s honorees, and we know you will be too. These are the Hot List hotel winners for 2024.
