\" We never imagined we'd be receiving so many business travellers <\/em>\"Cl\u00e9ment Gohin, General Manager of Les Lumi\u00e8res \u00e0 Versailles, is almost surprised by the appeal of his hotel to corporate clients. Indeed, almost the closest neighbour to the ch\u00e2teau, and rivalling in this respect the the congress centre<\/a> On the other side of Place d'Armes, this five-star establishment inaugurated in October 2024 is obviously ideally located to offer a Grand Si\u00e8cle stay to visiting tourists.

\" From an initial estimate of 10% of business customers, this has now risen to 30%.<\/em> \"says a pleasantly surprised Cl\u00e9ment Gohin. And probably more in the future. While the hotel currently has a large room that can accommodate up to 120 people and a small room for confidential board meetings, it will be expanding its range in response to demand. Occupying part of the ground floor, the Pierre Herm\u00e9 boutique will be converted early next year into a venue for meals and meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
