Hôtel les Lumières - Relais & Châteaux

Exceptionally friendly staff and a General Manager who is visible and ready to assist. A very high standard of renovation in a heritage building and location to the palace is first class. My husband was up early every morning to walk the gardens of the palace and virtually had it to himself! The breakfast room is stunning and is also available for light lunch. Staff here are friendly and attentive. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would revisit. We dined in the restaurant LaTable Lumieres one night and it was very enjoyable (see separate review).

ヴェルサイユ宮殿からもすぐ近いこのホテルは、Relais & Chateauxグループで、去年2024年にオープンしたばかり。 ルイ１４世の当時政府官であった, Edouard Colbert と Antoine de Gamont の2軒の館をつなげて、３１部屋あるホテルに改装したようです。 ホテルの通りの名前も、Rue Colbert、まさに歴史的建築物でありました。 館内はシックな内装で、中心にあるテラスを囲むように部屋が配置されているので、部屋によっては、エレベーターから中廊下をグルッと半周、迷路の様です。 ３１部屋のブティックホテルならでは、という感じ。 お部屋は新しくて綺麗、フランスのスピリッツを取り入れながらモダンなデザインです。 バスルームはタブとシャワーは別で綺麗、シャワーは使いやすかったです。 クロゼットも収納たっぷり。 朝食のレストランはPierre Herme指揮で美しい内装です。 なるほど、Pierre Hermeのマカロンやらも色々売っていました。 ブッフェスタイルですが、卵料理は別に作ってくれます。 スタッフのマラムさん（Malam)は、とても好感の持てる親切なプロフェッショナル。 女性のジュリーさん（Julie)は、去年日本に観光へ行ったそうで、いかに日本が素敵だったか語ってくれました。 素敵な滞在をありがとうございました。 This hotel, located just a short distance from the Palace of Versailles, is part of the Relais & Châteaux group and only opened recently in 2024. It was created by connecting two former residences of Louis XIV's government officials—Edouard Colbert and Antoine de Gamont—and transformed into a 31-room hotel. The street name, Rue Colbert, itself reflects the historic significance of the property. The interior is elegantly decorated, and the rooms are arranged around a central terrace. Depending on the room, you might find yourself walking halfway around an inner corridor from the elevator—it feels almost like a maze, in a charming boutique hotel kind of way. The rooms are brand new and very clean, with a modern design that also captures the spirit of France. The bathroom had a separate tub and shower, and everything was spotless. The shower was particularly easy to use. There was also ample closet space for storage. The breakfast restaurant, designed under the direction of Pierre Hermé, is beautifully decorated. Naturally, a variety of Pierre Hermé’s macarons and other treats were available for purchase as well. The breakfast was buffet-style, but egg dishes were prepared separately to order. One of the staff members, Mr. Malam, was especially kind and professional—very pleasant to interact with. Another staff member, Ms. Julie, told us she had visited Japan last year and spoke fondly about how wonderful her experience was there. Thank you for a truly delightful stay.

Hotel is ok. Ex residency of Colbert. Brand new. Then again, why no mini bar in the rooms? But, above all, the hotel's bar would only serve french drinks. No Coke, no Pepsi, no Martini, no Aperol, No actual Whiky, Vodka, Gin or Tequila. Pure stupidity. If the bar is open, that is. Hours are short. Spa? Forget about it. No resident caretaker. Considering the prices they charge, unacceptable shortcomings. Oh, the glasshouse is dirty,... And it's supposed to be a 5 star hotel. All in all, ok for a 3 star place.
