Trianon Palace Versailles

At Trianon Palace Versailles, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel, you can see the splendor of France's most luxurious home. The famous Chateau de Versailles is a few hundred yards away. Located just 20 kilometers outside of Paris, an artful, full-scale redesign has made this hotel irresistible. It now has a tasteful, modern elegance that adds to the regal feel of the ancient palace. Find peace in a forest of trees that have been around for a long time and in a garden that a famous landscape designer has updated.

Overview

Birds sing sheep graze on grass in the fields, and green moss grows on the stone walls. Moreover, behind a gate, a beautiful cream-colored building comes into view. It looks like something from the Belle Epoque. The Trianon Palace is just outside the gardens of the Château de Versailles. It has been there since 1910, and it has a lot of space.

Additionally, there is a lot of inspiration from the Grand Trianon, the pink-marble hideaway built by Louis XIV as an escape from the crowded court life to spend time with Madame de Maintenon. However, the smaller of the two royal residences, the Petit Trianon, was built on the Grand Trianon's grounds. The designer Jules Hardouin-Mansart was entrusted with carrying out the commission. King Louis XV constructed it.

The next king Louis XVI gave the Petit Trianon to his wife. The French king and queen, Louis Philippe I, and his Italian bride were the following residents of the Grand Trianon. Napoleon and Marie Louise, his second wife, resided at Trianon. There isn't a better way to get close to sleeping at the Chateau de Versailles than spending the night at the Trianon Palace.

Location

The property is on the ground floor of the famous 17th-century Ancien Regime Palace of Versailles. Some rooms have views of Marie Antoinette's 'hamlet,' which you can see from them. The bar and restaurant areas have floor-to-ceiling windows that let you see outside. Furthermore, Versailles is about 30 minutes outside of Paris by train on the RER C line. The hotel is a short taxi ride from the station and next to the Versailles gardens.

Style and Character

Art Deco and modern furniture are mixed with chandeliers and gold leaf in this elegant palace building. The decor is also very traditional in the Salon Clemenceau, where the Treaty of Versailles was made before it was signed in 1919. The polished white marble, floor-to-ceiling windows, plus grand columns in the entrance gallery make for a stunning view. There isn't anything fussy about the whole thing.

Service and Facilities

At the front desk, the service is quick and friendly, and there is an extra level of attention in the bars and restaurants. The support Versailles Trianon staff give you is exemplary. You can also choose to get room service and have your beds made.

Moreover, one of the best things about the hotel is its Guerlain-branded spa and wellness space. You can get massages and other treatments at the spa in a shiny, underground room. The pool is also a more casual place to relax and unwind. Furthermore, the concierge service is very discreet and swift.

Rooms

The 199 rooms here have a lot of space. If you want well-decorated rooms, you'll find neutral colors like beiges and grays and sleek, modern furniture that goes well with old-fashioned details like cornicing and marble fireplaces. Moreover, rooms have reading lights and plug sockets in the right places, TVs with a wide range of international channels, and very comfortable beds. Guests love the bathrooms, which have heated mosaic floors and gray-veined Italian marble. They also have powerful rain showers.

Additionally, experience a beautiful reflection of the palatial surroundings in the luxurious style and decor. Take advantage of all the extras at the hotel, from the luxurious rooms and Gordon Ramsay's exquisite French restaurant. The Spa Guerlain is also there, with hammam and steam rooms and a heated indoor swimming pool. Even though they have a lot of extras, their personalized service level makes them stand out from other Paris Versailles hotels.

Dining

Michelin starred Gordon Ramsay Au Trianon Restaurant, where you can eat great, French-inspired food made by the legendary chef. Modeled after Chef Ramsay's first and most famous restaurant in London, Restaurant Gordon Ramsay, the Waldorf Astoria Versailles Trianon Palace restaurant is a beautiful place to eat. Also, Gordon is in charge of the hotel's more informal restaurant, called La Véranda, and the hotel's in-room food service.

Moreover, Au Trianon has views of the park and a high-end French menu with two set menus. However, La Véranda is less complicated but still very good. It gives a taste of modern French cooking. This restaurant also has a lot of good food. These include delicately pan-fried cod with Charlotte potatoes and tasty desserts like the coconut frappé with sorbet.

Furthermore, waiters in the dining room are always happy to help you choose a wine to go with your meal. For the complimentary breakfast, there are many American and continental breakfast options that you can try.
