Hilton Hotels Corporation (HHC) has welcomed the Trianon Palace Versailles to the Waldorf Astoria Collection, signalling the French debut of the luxury brand in one of the country's most historic locations.

Uniquely located less than a mile from the famed Chateau de Versailles and 20 kilometres from the heart of Paris, the Waldorf Astoria Collection Trianon Palace Versailles is nestled in the heart of Versailles and surrounded by a private three-acre wooded park. Renowned landscape designer Louis Benech has restored its famed gardens to their former glory incorporating various original elements. The elegant 199-room hotel retains many historic features and has recently completed an extensive multi-million dollar renovation programme, overseen by noted interior designer Fiona Thompson, transforming all public areas, accommodation and guest facilities. The Waldorf Astoria Collection Trianon Palace Versailles has also been recently recognised at the 2008 European Hotel Design Awards, picking up the top accolade in the Best Interior Design category for its lobby and public areas.

The Waldorf Astoria Collection Trianon Palace Versailles, is the second European hotel to join the company’s prestigious Waldorf Astoria Collection, reflecting the luxury brand’s dynamic international expansion. In September 2008, the former Rome Cavalieri Hilton was relaunched as the Waldorf Astoria Collection Rome Cavalieri, marking the debut of HHC’s luxury brand in the region. Continuing this growth, the company has also unveiled plans for its Israeli inauguration, with the opening of The Palace Jerusalem in 2010 and has also revealed it is set to launch The Bentley in London this year.
