Dreaming of a holiday fit for royalty? Look no further than impressive Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna, Austria.

The former imperial residence is offering history buffs the chance to spend the night in a former suite of an emperor from just €1,400 a night (£1,000).

The opportunity for a unique overnight stay in the 1,441-room palace will undoubtedly prove popular, as the museum is one of the nation's most-visited tourist attractions.

The  Million Room in Schonbrunn Palace took its name from its cost, high in 1765, of one million gulden, which was mainly represented by the valuable rosewood floor for which materials had been imported from the Antilles.

The Walnut Room of Schonbrunn Palace is named for the wood used to line the walls and to make the furniture.   
It was used as an audience chamber by Joseph II and later by Franz Joseph.
