How to Book Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle

Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle offers something almost no hotel in the world can: to sleep inside the grounds of the Château de Versailles itself. Just fourteen rooms and suites, decorated in collaboration with the Château, occupy the restored 18th-century Le Grand Contrôle, with after-hours access to the palace. It is a once-in-a-lifetime stay, and booking through a preferred-partner advisory costs the same as booking direct, with recognition and benefits added at no extra cost.

Le Grand Contrôle stands within the grounds of the Château de Versailles, steps from the palace and its gardens, restored to its 18th-century splendour. Guests enjoy privileged access to Versailles, including private and after-hours visits to the palace and gardens when the crowds have gone, an experience available nowhere else.

The fourteen rooms and suites are decorated in collaboration with the Château de Versailles, dressed in 18th-century style with period detail and museum-quality craft, so that staying here is quite literally sleeping in history. The scale is tiny and the sense of privilege total.

Dining is overseen by Alain Ducasse, served in the manner of the court, alongside a spa and a pool beneath the vaults. It is a stay built around the palace itself. For the collection, see how to book Airelles.

Airelles Le Grand Contrôle is the one hotel where you sleep inside Versailles, with the palace and its gardens yours after the crowds have gone.
