First hotel to open in Versailles

Le Grand Contrôle luxury hotel is being developed in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles and is due to open in December.

The project is renovating three 17th- and 18th-century buildings adjoining the palace to extend the Midi wing and the Orangerie – the Hôtel du Grand Contrôle, the Petit Contrôle and the Pavillon des Premières Cent Marches – and convert them into a luxury hotel.

The 19-room hotel will offer a gourmet restaurant and its design will feature 18th-century style.

Le Grand Contrôle is scheduled to offer five-star experiences, including a wellness centre, an indoor swimming pool and exclusive access to the Palace of Versailles.
