Origin and history

The Hotel located in Versailles, at 62bis rue de Montreuil, is a building built during the second half of the eighteenth century. This monument, classified among the Historical Monuments, reflects the civil architectural characteristics of this period, marked by an increasing refinement of urban residences under the influence of Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. Its facades and roofs, inscribed in the additional inventory by order of 20 December 1973, testify to this neat aesthetic, typical of the Veraillais private hotels of the Ancien Régime.

The location of this hotel, in a city deeply marked by the presence of the royal court and the aristocracy, suggests its integration into an urban fabric that was expanding in the 18th century. Versailles, then the political and cultural centre of the kingdom, attracted an elite wishing to reside near the power. Private hotels, such as those on Rue de Montreuil, served as both residences and places of social representation, reflecting the status and ambitions of their owners. Their preservation today offers an overview of this architectural heritage and the lifestyles of the era.

The partial registration of the Hotel for Historic Monuments in 1973 highlights its heritage value, although the information available does not specify its current use (visit, rental, private residence). The accuracy of its location, assessed as "passable" (note 5/10), indicates that its exact location could benefit from additional verifications. Sources also mention a Creative Commons license for associated illustrations, highlighting the contemporary documentary interest in this monument.
