The recent inauguration of the Airelles Ch\u00e2teau de Versailles<\/a>,<\/strong> Le Grand Contr\u00f4le, the first hotel in history located inside the Palace of Versailles, where it was the official residence of the kings of France<\/strong> between 1682 and 1789.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Palace of Versailles located an hour from Paris, has 14 rooms and suites that occupy three historic buildings: le Grand Contr\u00f4le<\/em>, le Petit Contr\u00f4le<\/em> and the Pavillon des premi\u00e8res cent marches<\/em>, overlooking the Orangerie<\/strong>, the Pi\u00e8ce d’Eau des Suisses and the castle. Built in 1681 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart, Louis XIV’s favorite architect,<\/strong> it has been meticulously claimed by the prestigious interior designer<\/strong> and designer Christophe Tollemer.<\/em><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Each of the rooms has been named after some personality linked to Versailles<\/strong>. Its unique decoration has followed the stylistic patterns of the time in the use of fabrics, colors, designs, tapestries and furniture from the 17th and 18th centuries, so artisans from different disciplines have participated in the entire project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart<\/em><\/a>, famous for completing the Palace of Versailles<\/a>, designed Le Grand Contr\u00f4le in 1681<\/em>. It was initially a private home for Paul de Beauvilliers<\/em><\/a>, a government official under King Louis XIV. It became the home of Necker, France’s finance minister during the reigns of Louis XV and Louis XVI.<\/span>
\nIt was also used as a hospital before Napoleon<\/a> stationed his army there. Its last function before becoming an empty space was as a catering room for the officers of Versailles.<\/span><\/p>\n
