Les Lumieres

The soul of a family home, the elegance of a 5-star hotel in Versailles. Tucked away in the heart of the Royal City, just steps from the Château de Versailles, Les Lumières invites guests to step into a modern-day Age of Enlightenment. Born from the union of the 17th-century Villacerf and Gramont pavilions, this intimate five-star boutique hotel captures the grace of the Grand Siècle while embracing the art of mindful living. Behind its historic façade lies a serene refuge of 31 rooms and suites, each named after a great thinker, philosopher, or explorer of the 18th century. Delicate marbles, original woodwork, and contemporary artworks create a dialogue between heritage and modernity.…

A new dawn rises in Versailles. Born from two 17th-century pavilions just steps from the Château de Versailles, Les Lumières reimagines the Age of Enlightenment, blending marble fireplaces and classical moldings with contemporary elegance and curated art. Its 31 rooms and suites, each named after a French luminary, feature thoughtful touches like yoga mats, meditation boxes, and Beau Domaine skincare by Brad Pitt. Guests unwind at the serene Spa des Lumières or savor vegetable-forward cuisine by Chef Erwan Le Thomas at La Table des Lumières, while La Galerie offers high tea overlooking the Place d’Armes.
