Wyndham Hotels & Resorts is poised to open the 178-room Dolce by Wyndham Versailles \u2014 Domaine du Montcel in December.<\/p>\n
Located minutes from the Palace of Versailles in France, the property was once owned by the Oberkampf-Mallet family and has been fully renovated by 2BDM Architects, which specializes in preserving historic buildings, monuments and gardens.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The property has 35 acres of gardens surrounding the estate, two restaurants, a bar with a terrace and a state-of-the-art conference center with 18 meetings rooms and the 1,800-square-foot Baccarat ballroom.<\/p>\n
Guests will also have access to the Spa du Montcel by Sothys, which features a heated indoor and outdoor pool, a sensory shower, snow cave, sauna, fitness room and seven treatment rooms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Decor elements include Toiles de Jouy printed canvas in the guestrooms; two works of art: “Long Term Parking” by Arman, a sculpture of 59 cars encased in concrete to form a 60-foot tower; and “Hommage a Eiffel” by Cesar, a plaque made from pieces of the Eiffel Tower.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The interior design was overseen by Ferry Interior Design, and a landscape gardener Frank Neau was responsible for the exterior architecture and garden.<\/p>\n
The property is located 30 minutes from Paris-Orly Airport and a short walk from the Jouy-en-Josas train station. Paris city center is about a half-hour away by train.<\/p>\n
