The newcomer is Les Lumières Versailles, opened in July 2024 in two historic pavilions from the age of Louis XIV. Its 31 rooms and suites are named after the scholars, philosophers and explorers of the Enlightenment, and weighted blankets and meditation boxes are ready for a restful night. The hotel is classified as a 5-star hotel. Breakfast is served in a gallery with six-meter ceilings and 19th-century chandeliers.
