Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle: The Only Hotel on the Palace Grounds

Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle continues to hold a singular position among the world's palace hotels as the only property built directly within the grounds of the Château de Versailles. Originally constructed in 1681 by Louis XIV's court architect and reopened as a hotel by Airelles in 2021, the building's eleven rooms and two suites are named for historical figures and furnished with 17th and 18th-century pieces.

Alain Ducasse au Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle remains the property's signature restaurant, and the hotel continues to rank as the top-reviewed hotel in Versailles. It carries the official Palace distinction from Atout France, a status held by only a small number of hotels nationwide.
