Hôtel du Grand Contrôle, Historical mansion at Palace of Versailles, France.
The Grand Contrôle spans three floors with 14 rooms and suites, featuring period furniture and views over the Orangerie gardens and Palace grounds.
Jules Hardouin-Mansart designed this building in 1681 to house the financial controller of Versailles until Jacques Necker's departure during the French Revolution.
The mansion maintains French classical architecture with restored 17th-century elements, including original wooden floors, marble fireplaces, and period textiles.
Guests need reservations to access the hotel at 12 Rue de l'Indépendance Américaine in Versailles, which includes an indoor pool and Alain Ducasse restaurant.
The property grants exclusive after-hours access to Palace areas, including private tours through the Hall of Mirrors when other visitors have departed.

What if we traveled without going far? Around Paris, unusual getaways are multiplying: treehouses, floating houses, bubbles in the forest, tiny houses, and fairy-tale castles. Less than two hours from the capital, you can sleep facing a lake, stay in a 17th-century mill, or under a transparent dome with a view of the stars. These atypical accommodations reinvent the way to escape: a Nordic bath in Rambouillet, a spa in a cabin in Raray, a lodge facing the elephants in Thoiry, or a Japanese pavilion hidden in the Eure valley. Whether seeking luxury, nature, or simply surprise, these addresses offer extraordinary nights within a reach often less than two hours by car.
