Waldorf Astoria Versailles - Trianon Palace

"You won’t find a room at the Waldorf Astoria Versailles - Trianon Palace for less than $1,400 per night." - Travel + Leisure Editors

"This spot inside the Trianon Palace provides a beautiful backdrop for afternoon tea. It is served in The Gallery, the long vestibule that serves as the main artery of the hotel. Think soaring columns, gold ceiling, and marble floors in black and white tiles. Crystal chandeliers hang above velvet sofas and high-backed green leather armchairs. You have choices as to how indulgent you want your tea service to be, but note the chariot de pâtisseries (pastry trolley) is available on Saturdays and Sundays only. When it comes to the tea itself, the selection may include classics like Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Oolong, and Tarry Lapsang, but you want the Marie Antoinette NINA’S: Ceylon tea scented with roses and apples pulled from the Potager du Roi (the King's Kitchen Garden) in Versailles." - Lindsey Tramuta, Mary Winston Nicklin

"Located where the city of Versailles meets the Parc de Versailles, this hotel dates back to 1910. Features include the 2,800 m2 Guerlain spa, indoor swimming pool, and views of the Versailles Palace and royal gardens. Dining options include La Veranda and Gordon Ramsay au Trianon." - Tina Meyer

"Pastry Chef Eddie Benghanem has come up with a seasonal offering served fireside. His take on afternoon tea is an ode to chocolate and includes a crunchy delicacy featuring Oabika." - Guide MICHELIN

"Improving one position from last year is the Waldorf Astoria Versailles - Trianon Palace. The voter reviews were entirely built on superlatives, with one fan exclaiming, “exceptional,” and another saying, “awesome.” Sometimes one word is all you need to describe impeccable service, 15 majestic suites, a Guerlain Spa, and perfectly manicured gardens framing a castle hotel." - Travel + Leisure Editors
