ROYAL DECADENCE
Possibly the most hotly anticipated hotel opening in the world, you can’t get more luxurious than the new offering by Airelles. Le Grand Contrôle is a 14-room haven in the grounds of the Palace of Versailles. The hotel building dates to1681 and was designed by Jules Hardouin-
Mansart, architect to Louis XIV. Guests will have behind-the-scenes access to Versailles. Sleep in the same room as Madame de Stael or Jacques Necker, saunter through the orangery, meander along the deserted corridors of Versailles, or take a boat ride on the Grand Canal, a glass of champagne in hand. And when you're hungry, you’ll find Alain Ducasse in the kitchen.
