A Kentucky honeymoon fit for a princess

With Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall due to tie the knot this July in the second Royal wedding of the year, Kentucky is the perfect place for horse lover Zara to spend her honeymoon.

Kentucky, like Zara, is renowned for its horses and plays host to a number of huge equestrian events each year, including the Rolex Kentucky and Kentucky Derby. It also hosted the World Equestrian Games in 2010, the first time the event has ever left Europe.

Zara and Mike could celebrate their honeymoon by staying at the boutique 21c Museum Hotel. It boasts a contemporary art museum, award winning restaurant and is located in the heart of Museum Row in downtown Louisville. It has twice been voted the number one hotel in the US by the Conde Nast Traveller Reader Choice Awards in 2009 and 2010.

Aside from the horses there is plenty to see and do in Kentucky including the Bourbon Trail. 95% of the world's bourbon is produced in Kentucky and it is America's only native spirit. There are eight distilleries on the trail including Jim Bean, Maker's Mark and Woodford Reserve, all of which are open for tours and perfect to toast the happy couple.
