One of this year’s most anticipated hotel openings is Airelles’ long-awaited Le Grand Controle on the grounds of Versailles. This former royal residence was originally built in 1681 by King Louis XIV’s architect, Jules Hardouin-Mansart and will feature 14 hotel rooms and apartments overlooking the breathtaking gardens. To ensure the restoration was accurate and appropriate, a dedicated committee has supervised the work throughout. The property will showcase a signature Alain Ducasse restaurant where you can taste gourmet dishes inspired by recipes of the past and served 18th-century style!  Other amenities include an indoor swimming pool, wellness center, and a spa.  Your family will be treated like royalty with a privately guided tour of the palace after hours including areas normally inaccessible to the public such as the Orangery, Lake of the Swiss Guard, and French gardens. You can even sail leisurely along the park’s Grand Canal.
