Location, Location, Location
One of the things that make Airelles Château de Versailles Le Grand Contrôle so special is its location.

Checking in
Upon arrival at Airelles Château de Versailles Le Grand Contrôle, you'll be blown away by the grandeur of the hotel. The lobby is decorated with beautiful chandeliers and curated artifacts/furniture, and the staff is eager to help you with whatever you need. I had a dedicated butler that truly went above and beyond throughout my stay. I was greeted by the General Manager, Julien Révah, and he took me on a detailed walkthrough sharing various history and details of the hotel.
The Suite
The rooms are spacious and elegantly appointed, with huge beds and luxurious bathrooms. You'll have everything you need to relax and enjoy your stay at the hotel.
I stayed at the Necker suite, which is one of the most opulent and luxurious suites on property. The suite is named after Jacques Necker, the finance minister for Louis XVI, and many decor touches were modeled after Marie Antoinette’s Petit Trianon. I must point out that they have a Dyson hairdryer, which I strongly believe all luxury hotels should have at this point. It’s the little things.
The Spa
Offering a luxurious haven of peace and relaxation, Spa at Versailles offers a peaceful escape in an exceptional place devoted to relaxation and beauty, in conjunction with the high-end Swiss brand Valmont. The spa also has a 15-metre pool and the floor is tiled in Carrare marble, directly inspired by the marble used in the Château courtyard, giving the place a royal, intimate and luxurious atmosphere.
