路易斯凡尔赛宫美憬阁索菲特酒店（Hôtel Le Louis Versailles Château, MGallery by Sofitel）于2017年修葺一新，作为一家四星级酒店诚邀宾客们在此沉醉于凡尔赛宫的辉煌与壮美之中。酒店采用鲜明的现代化设计，灵感直接取自毗邻的凡尔赛宫。
毗邻城堡大门，地理位置优越
路易斯凡尔赛宫美憬阁索菲特酒店地理位置优越，距离凡尔赛宫及其花园仅200米路程。宾客们可于此开始探索这座皇城最为美丽的文化和历史遗迹，比如皇家歌剧院（Royal Opera）、巴洛克音乐中心（Centre de Musique Baroque）和蒙唐西耶剧院（Théâtre Montansier）。凡尔赛是一座国际旅游城市，拥有丰富的文化遗产。四个世纪前，国王路易十四下令修建凡尔赛，由彼时的首席建筑师Jules Hardouin-Mansart和首席园艺师André Le Nôtre负责筹建。于是，两位大师打造出了这座真挚宜人、贴近自然的美丽城市，而路易斯凡尔赛宫美憬阁索菲特酒店也延续了这样的氛围。酒店临近凡尔赛的两大火车站，前往巴黎仅需20分钟路程。
路易斯凡尔赛宫美憬阁索菲特酒店所在之地，正是1854年由拿破仑三世陆军部所建的炮队骑马场地旧址。这一时期遗留下的宏伟城门至今未有改变，现已成为了一处历史纪念地。通过城门后，宾客便可以欣赏到仅有四层楼高的古典建筑，在凡尔赛，所有建筑均不可高于国王的行宫。步入酒店，宾客们便踏入了一座真正不朽的经典建筑。
将现代的摩登设计和过去的恢弘壮丽相融合，成就永恒经典
酒店的重新设计工作由俄罗斯建筑公司Sundukovy Sisters负责完成。在这座充溢着历史气息的建筑中，建筑公司的两位创始人姐妹决定采用融合现代优雅气息和古典精致艺术的装饰来展现对比鲜明的时代。酒店的空间设施充分展现出了建筑和自然的和谐共处，这一强烈的主题体现在了酒店的各个装饰中，并且与凡尔赛宫殿的花园相呼应。所有元素和材料均经过精心挑选，在体现凡尔赛城市风采的同时也在空间中融入了现代气息。
灯光在酒店设计中尤为突出，灯光塑造渗透到每一个空间中，营造出独特的氛围。从夜晚照亮酒店外墙的灯光，令人惊叹的中央玻璃采光顶，到酒店酒吧中恢弘的枝形吊灯，还有将灯光散射至各处的镜面壁灯，所有这一切都让人不禁想起拥有“太阳王”称号的路易十四。
酒店设有152间客房，其中7间为套房，在房间内，各种陈设让历史与现实交融，营造出华丽而又宁静的氛围：古董镜子、让人联想到皇室园林的圆锥形灯具、经典的LED枝形吊灯、灵感源自人字斜纹镶花地板的地毯以及优雅的白色大理石浴室。
在酒店的酒吧式餐厅L’Alcôve，酒店宾客和当地食客可沉浸于最纯粹的凡尔赛气息中，这里的诸多设计元素均借鉴了这座城市和凡尔赛宫的历史背景，例如会让人想起凡尔赛宫的深绿色，颇具风格的壁纸则令人联想到附近花园中的橘园和象征皇权的狮子雕塑。餐厅主厨隆重推出季节性农产品和经典美食，再一次以最具现代感的方式诠释这座城市。在这个充满活力的酒吧，酒店宾客和慕名而来的人可以交朋识友，品尝一系列鸡尾酒和无酒精鸡尾酒。这些鸡尾酒的名字同样能令人联想到这座城市的历史，比如特色鸡尾酒Marie Antoinette（玛丽皇后）、Elle et Louis（伊及路易）和Le Roi Soleil（太阳王）。酒吧的中心装饰是一支气势恢弘的黑体设计枝形吊灯，下方是中央舞台，上方则是巨大的玻璃屋顶，营造出独一无二的私密氛围。此外，酒店的健身中心和9间多功能会议室和会议厅也经过了彻底翻新。
Completely renovated in 2017, Hôtel Le Louis Versailles Château, MGallery by Sofitel is now a 4-star hotel inviting travelers to immerse themselves in the splendor of the Court of Versailles. The hotel's resolutely contemporary design, draws its inspiration directly from the neighboring Palace of Versailles.
A PRIME LOCATION AT THE GATES OF THE CHATEAU
Situated just 200 meters from the Palace of Versailles and its Gardens, Hôtel Le Louis Versailles Château enjoys a prime location. It is the ideal starting point from which to explore the most beautiful cultural and historic sites of the Royal City, such as the Royal Opera, the Centre de Musique Baroque and the Théâtre Montansier. Versailles is an international tourist destination boasting an exceptional heritage. It was conceived four centuries ago at the behest of King Louis XIV, and constructed by Jules Hardouin-Mansart and André Le Nôtre, respectively the principal architect and principal gardener to the King. The result is an authentic and welcoming city with nature ever present, an atmosphere that has been reproduced at Hotel Le Louis Versailles Château. Thanks to its proximity to the city's two main railway stations, Paris is just a 20-minute journey away.
Le Louis Versailles Château sits on the site of a former equestrian arena used by the Artillery, built by the War Ministry of Louis-Napoléon III in 1854. The impressive gateway from this period remains unchanged today and has been designated as an historic monument. Once through the gates, guests will discover a building of classical architecture of just four floors, since in Versailles, no building can be higher than the King’s chamber in the Palace. Inside the hotel, guests enter a truly timeless setting.
A TIMELESS LOCATION, COMBINING THE MODERN WITH THE SPLENDOR OF THE PAST
The redesign of the hotel was entrusted to the Russian architectural firm, Sundukovy Sisters. In this history-steeped location, the two sisters decided to showcase the contrasting eras through decor that blends contemporary elegance with classical refinement. The design of the space reflects the harmony that exists between the Architect and Nature, a powerful theme running through the hotel decor, echoing the gardens of the Château. All the elements and materials have been carefully selected to evoke Versailles and every space has been reinterpreted with a contemporary feel.
Light reigns supreme in the architecture of the hotel: it shapes every area and imbues each of the spaces with a unique ambience. From the lights illuminating the facade at night to the impressive central glass roof, the majestic chandelier in the hotel bar and the mirrored sconces that disperse light throughout; everything recalls the "Sun King ".
In the 152 rooms, which include 7 suites, the past interacts with the present to create a plush and restful ambience: antique mirrors, conical lamps that recall the trees in the royal gardens, classical LED chandeliers, carpets inspired by herringbone parquet flooring and elegant white marble bathrooms.
In L'Alcôve, the hotel's bar-restaurant, guests and locals are immersed in the pure essence of Versailles through numerous references to the history of the city and its Palace, such as the shades of dark green evoking the Gardens of Versailles, the stylized wallpaper reminiscent of the nearby gardens' Orangerie and the statue of the Lion, the emblem of royal power. Here, the Head Chef gives top billing to seasonal produce and offers classic dishes, once again reinterpreted in the most contemporary way. The bar becomes a truly lively space where guests and the curious can rub shoulders, enjoying a range of evocatively-named cocktails and mocktails. They include the signature cocktail Marie Antoinette, Elle et Louis as well as Le Roi Soleil. The centerpiece of the bar is the prodigious Blackbody-designed chandelier which takes center stage beneath the vast glass roof and creates a feeling of exclusive intimacy. Lastly, the fitness center and the nine modular meeting and conference rooms at Hôtel Le Louis Versailles Château have also been completely refurbished.
