Nestled within the grounds of the Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle by Airelles is a one-of-a-kind hotel that transports guests into the grandeur of 18th-century France. Originally built in 1681 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, the architect of Louis XIV, this historic residence has been meticulously restored by Airelles to offer an experience steeped in royal heritage.
With just 13 opulent rooms and suites, each adorned with period furnishings and fabrics, guests enjoy an intimate stay, enhanced by panoramic views of the Orangery Gardens and personalized service from a dedicated butler.
Dining at Le Grand Contrôle is a culinary spectacle, orchestrated by Michelin-starred Chef Alain Ducasse, offering lavish feasts, gourmet lunches, and candlelit banquets reminiscent of the grandeur of Versailles.
Beyond its exquisite interiors, guests can partake in extraordinary experiences, including private visits to the Hall of Mirrors after hours, horseback rides through the royal park, and exclusive access to Marie Antoinette’s library. For relaxation, the Airelles Spa by Valmont offers a sanctuary of serenity, featuring a 15-meter heated pool, a sauna, and rejuvenating treatments.
For younger guests, the Airelles Royal Camp transforms Versailles into an enchanted playground, where children can enjoy pony rides, treasure hunts, and even an afternoon tea with « Marie Antoinette. »
At Le Grand Contrôle by Airelles, every stay is an invitation to relive the majesty of Versailles in an experience crafted for modern-day royalty.
