A place of soul and history

hotel combining heritage and contemporary luxury. boutique hotel Les Lumières, neighbor of the illustrious Château de Versailles, was born from the merger of two historic pavilions named Gramont and Villacerf.

The lands were initially donated by Louis XIV in the 17th century, to Antoine III de Gramont, Marshal of France and Édouard Colbert, Marquis de Villacerf, Councilor of State.

The Gramont pavilion was fully reconstructed in the 19th century while Villacerf was converted into the Hôtel des Voyageurs around 1820 & refurnished in the beginning of the 20th century.

The façade, the 1907 staircase and details of the Café Pierre Hermé, like immortal guardians of history, reveal the brilliance of the Grand Siècle.

Everywhere you look, flamboyant hues and black marble, in homage to the royal court, blend into a contemporary, refined and warm atmosphere. Outside, nature flourishes in the gardens and patio, around the glass roof and cut-stone fountain. Take a stroll to the Poirier des Lumières. Under its shade, the Bezy de la Motte variety thrives, once cherished by King Louis XIV.

The hotel has been carefully renovated to offer you an intimate, enlightening and nourishing interlude.
