About the Hotel

It began life as a modest hunting lodge built by Louis XIII in 1623, but under the ownership of Louis XIV, Versailles became a magnificent palace renowned throughout the world. Set within the gates of Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle was built in 1681 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, Louis XIV’s favorite architect and an icon of French classicism. Now, more than two centuries later, Le Grand Contrôle has been entirely restored, offering guests an exclusive peek into the world of Versailles. Unlock access to the 2,000 acre-strong gardens, retrace famous footsteps and explore the palace halls and apartments like never before. With 14 sumptuous Rooms and Suites replete with period furnishings and fittings for a royal stay, guests are invited to step back in history, but one coupled with contemporary comforts. Take a seat at the king's table and be seduced by delicious dishes inspired by the great classics of French cuisine. Made up of several different areas, the spa offers a luxurious pool, sauna and hammam. In the gym, you can use cardio and weights machines overlooking the Lake of the Swiss Guards, with a personal trainer available by reservation.​

I honestly don’t know what could be done differently to make it better. A part of being luxurious, entire team being extremely attentive, it offers exceptional experiences! To see Versailles empty worth every cent spent. We also did Giverny tour with the classic car and will have those memories forever. We definitely will be back again to discover things we didnt this time during our two nights stay. Thanks to the entire team for this special moment shared with us.

The best way to experience Versailles.

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

This is an amazing experience, particularly for history nerds like me. The opportunity to have access to knowledgeable guides in the empty palace was stupendous. We adored being able to explore further (than if walking) in our golf cart and electric boat. It was so atmospheric knowing we were in a restored 17thC building, with staff in costume, dinner by candlelight only, and menu inspiration from the days of Louis XIV. Couldn't believe the teenager ate smoked eel pie!! If you have the means then this is definitely recommended. My only regret was I didn't realise a visit to the Queen's theatre and hamlet was not part of the tours, and I didn't leave enough time to go their in my golf cart - now I have to go back!! My highlight - all the little details relating to the life of Marie-Antoinette, including her personal porcelain ware. My teenager's highlight - the gougere offered in the evenings (they were fabulous), and the challenge she set herself about how many macarons she could eat (11 in 48 hours). My friend's highlight - routine glasses of champagne for breakfast!!

Once in a lifetime experience - IMEPCCABLE EXPERIENCE from start to finish!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

Airelles Le Grand Contrôle is an exceptional retreat that masterfully blends 18th-century grandeur with impeccable modern luxury! Nestled within the Château de Versailles grounds, the hotel offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience with exclusive after-hours palace tours and personalized service. Every detail, from the period-inspired décor to the refined Alain Ducasse dining, is thoughtfully curated to transport guests to the time of Louis XIV. The serene spa and sweeping views of the Orangerie complete an unforgettable and truly regal stay. We cannot wait to return again!

Truly a destination hotel worth going out of your way

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

Truly unique and a real destination property. We booked originally for the after hour access to the palace but the government had an event which blocked all access. Hotel did arrange a library tour which was nice though a tad long. The dinner was part theater that didn’t take itself too seriously so was a nice experience different than most fancy Michelin meals. The morning tour was amazing though to see the private residences of the king without any crowd. The afternoon picnic was the best picnic experience ever Afternoon tea was presented more plainly but was the best tasting one I ever had. The room itself was tastefully done and had tons of amenities including free minibar with quality drinks. The butler service was helpful. There is even a library study with free cognac that was also beautiful. I would come back next time in Paris

Exceeds the highest expectations

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

We stayed two nights, and each provided masterclasses in history in comfort and luxury. Imagine a private guided tour of the Hall of Mirrors with only a few other guests of the hotel? How about use of a golf cart to explore the grounds? All part of the nightly room rate. To maximize the value, carve out a time when you can enjoy an immersive experience.
