Hotel Le Versailles ★★★★

Versailles was once the unofficial capital of France, where the palace itself is so big it feels like a lavish village. Here, you will find the Hotel le Versailles and its marble reception with intricate lamps hanging from the ceiling, incorporating a design of antique and art deco design. Whilst staying in central Paris might require a certain amount of effort, planning and organisation, this is not the case at the Hotel Le Versailles, with the palace just around the corner and the possibility of having a large breakfast in the lobby area.

With their large windows, the rooms appear spacious, bright and airy; the kind you don’t find in Paris! The bathrooms are equally spacious, with a large shower and space to walk about. It had to be said, the rooms are beautiful, but even more than that, the rooms are a work of art, with a painted statue of cupid and antique furnishings such as deep mahogany-coloured desk and carefully crafted lamps.

The whole hotel has an haute-couture allure that only the highly sophisticated residents of Paris and those around it can pull off. Whilst the stylish lobby and its plush sofas is ideal to relax in, the hotel’s bar and terrace is equally tranquil. As the sun shines down on the cobbled streets and the sky lights up with a light and clear blue colour, there is nothing like spending an afternoon relaxing on the terrace in the soft sunlight of the afternoon drinking a kir before dinner.
