Traditional Elegance & Quiet
When it comes to overnight lodgings in Versailles, you can’t get any closer to the Château than Les Lumières: this luxury boutique hotel is literally its neighbor, located just steps from its front gate. Housed in a pair of meticulously restored historic pavilions, Les Lumières is not just a wildly convenient place to stay while enjoying a leisurely visit to King Louis XIV’s royal residence — it’s practically a museum unto itself. The theme is the Age of Enlightenment, and at check-in, guests receive a key enclosed in a small book that tells a story of the famous philosopher, explorer, or writer their room is named after, from Descartes to Voltaire.
The style in the common areas channels the classic elegance of the Grand Siècle with heavy crystal chandeliers, oversized mirrors, and an opulent Belle Époque staircase. But rooms and suites, high-ceilinged and spacious, have more of a modern edge: some feature bold patterned wallpaper and others have coffered walls in crisp sage green, but all have colorful accents, from mustard-yellow or cherry-red duvets to velvet ottomans in turquoise or navy blue. Some offer direct views of the Château, as does one of the hotel’s highlights, the gorgeous Café Pierre Hermé, with its blush-pink banquettes and high arched windows. Sparkling wines are the stars in the gilded Bar des Philosophes, and a charming boutique offers takeaway patisserie by the in-house pastry chef.
