When history meets contemporary luxury, unforgettable experiences are born. Imagine yourself transported back in time, immersed in elegance and modern comfort. That’s exactly wha a night at the Château de Versailles promises, in the prestigious hotel le Grand Contrôle.
Located at the very heart of Versailles estate, the Grand Contrôle offers an immersion in the majestic atmosphere of this jewel of French history.
Reborn from its 17th– century home, built bys Louis XIV’s favorite architect, Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the Grand Contrôle today reveals itself as a rare gem. Once the home of European political leaders, artists , musicians , scientists and writers, this building has stood the test of time majesty. Once the residence of the Controller General of Finances under Louis XV, it enjoyed its glory days before sinking into oblivion.
Long abandoned, the Grand Contrôle has now been reborn as a luxurious palace, owned by the Airelles group, already renowned for its establishments in Courchevel, Val d’isère, Saint Tropez and Gordes. Strategically located around the gardens of the Orangerie at the Château de Versailles, this hotel overlooks a building whose location beats all competition. It offers a breathtaking view of the history and grandeur of French royalty.
Inside, the style remains in keeping with the theme of the Château, with interiors similar to those of the Château, and to the similar tastes of the Kings and Queens of France. Noble materials and carefully selected prints transport customers to a bygone era. You can also choose to come for lunch, dinner or team time at Le Grand Contrôle, to discover its interiors and enjoy dishes by Alain Ducasse ( famous chef). The dishes, inspired by traditional French recipes, are prepared with seasonal ingredients. Each bite is a tribute to French gastronomy, enhanced by the chef’s contemporary touch.
But the Grand Contrôle is more than just a luxurious place to stay. It also offers a wellness area worthy of the finest palaces.
