Sacred Hotel

By Alice Feiring

Joy and Martin Cummings have a knack for turning medieval estates into great hotels. Their latest is Abbaye de la Bussière, a 12th-century abbey in Burgundy with 10 rooms and pretty stained-glass windows. Its restaurant pours wines from neighbors like Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py (doubles from $205; abbaye-dela-bussiere.com).
