Travel Tuesday: Trianon Palace Hotel, Versailles


The legendary Trianon Palace hotel and spa in Versailles, France where the likes of Marcel Proust , René Lacoste and the Duke of Winsor once frolicked has just completed a breathtaking $30 million renovation. Situated just outside Paris less than a mile from Louis XIV's famed Chateau de Versailles, the 5-star luxury hotel's upgrades include a new wing, Gordon Ramey's first restaurant in France, a refurbished Guerlain spa, revamped public spaces and glorious gardens. Noted interior designer Fiona Thompson, who oversaw renovations to the 199-room property, has managed to modernize the 1909 building without detracting from its historic magnificence.

Oh... my... knees are weak. I stayed in Versailles a few years ago, but certainly not here!
