Les Lumières
Versailles, FranceA 5-star boutique hotel embodying the spirit of the Age of Enlightenment, seamlessly blending historical grandeur with modern sophistication steps from the Palace of Versailles.
Les Lumières emerges from the fusion of two historic pavilions, Gramont and Villacerf, initially gifted by Louis XIV to Antoine III de Gramont and Édouard Colbert. This 5-star boutique hotel masterfully preserves elements of its grand history, including the 1907 staircase and historic façade, while offering contemporary luxury and enlightened experiences. The property serves as more than just accommodation; it's a gateway to experiencing the spirit of the French Enlightenment through all five senses.
The hotel's commitment to holistic well-being is evident in its exceptional Spa des Lumières. In this subterranean sanctuary, marble water walls and sophisticated treatment rooms create an atmosphere of complete tranquility. This focus on wellness extends throughout the property, from meditation boxes in rooms to mindfulness sessions in the gardens.
Families are welcomed with special attention to detail, receiving thoughtful amenities like gratitude booklets for children and access to curated activities. The hotel orchestrates everything from horse riding in the château gardens to educational workshops, ensuring memorable experiences for guests of all ages.
Part of the prestigious 2L Collection, Les Lumières reflects four key themes: regeneration, sensory inspiration, connection, and engagement with local culture. This philosophy creates a unique environment where history, luxury, and personal well-being converge, offering an enlightening stay in one of France's most historic locations.
The culinary journey at Les Lumières unfolds across three distinctive venues, each offering its own interpretation of French excellence. The crown jewel is Café Pierre Hermé, where six-meter-high ceilings and panoramic views of Place d'Armes create a majestic setting for enjoying creations by the World's Best Pastry Chef. Here, sweet and savory offerings merge in perfect harmony, from signature macarons to sophisticated brasserie-inspired dishes.
La Table des Lumières presents Chef Erwan Le Thomas's inventive take on plant-based French cuisine, where local produce and grand crus come together in a refined garden setting. The gentle sound of the fountain provides a soothing backdrop to this culinary experience. Meanwhile, the Bar des Philosophes captures the spirit of the Enlightenment with its gilded décor inspired by Louis XIV's ballroom, offering an exceptional champagne program and sophisticated evening atmosphere.
Each of the 31 rooms and suites at Les Lumières tells its own story, named after influential figures from the French Enlightenment. The accommodations blend contemporary luxury with historical reverence, featuring ceiling murals depicting hanging gardens and shimmering color palettes that echo Versailles' grandeur.
