Hôtel du Grand Contrôle, Historical mansion at Palace of Versailles, France.
The Hôtel du Grand Contrôle is a historical mansion on the grounds of the Palace of Versailles, spanning three floors with 14 rooms and suites. The rooms overlook the Orangerie gardens and Palace grounds.
The building was designed in 1681 by Jules Hardouin-Mansart to house Versailles' financial controller. It lost this role during the French Revolution when Jacques Necker left office.
The building preserves French classical architecture with restored 17th-century elements, including original wooden floors and marble fireplaces. Its rooms tell the story of how high-ranking administrators lived during that period.
Access to the property on Rue de l'Indépendance Américaine requires advance reservations. The grounds include an indoor pool and restaurant, making it self-contained for guests.
Guests receive exclusive after-hours access to Palace areas, including private tours through the Hall of Mirrors. This privilege allows visits without the usual crowds.
