Near Paris, experience Europe's largest swimming pool

Near Paris, experience Europe's largest swimming pool

Just a stone's throw from the capital, this Spa unveils an iconic swimming pool, bathed in light and refurbished with refinement, for a timeless experience.

Did you know that Europe's largest spa pool is housed in the Spa Guerlain at the Waldorf Astoria Versailles - Trianon Palace? Heated to 28°C, the 18 x 10 m pool is bathed in natural light thanks to its majestic glass roof, and enhanced by golden mosaics inspired by the Versailles coat of arms. Some of Europe's legendary pools, such as those at the Hotel Adlon in Berlin or the Ritz-Carlton in Barcelona, come close to this scale, but few combine grandeur with architectural elegance.

Waldorf Astoria Guerlain Spa2025 Jennifer Lavaud 11More than just a pool, the swimming pool becomes a place of contemplation and relaxation. The shimmering water and golden mosaics catch the natural light, transforming every swim into a sensory ritual. The décor has been restored to its former glory following a recent renovation, and is an invitation to absolute relaxation. In short, every moment spent in the pool reflects the luxury and sophistication of the Sun King's legacy.

A spa designed for well-being

Beyond the pool, the 2800 m2 Guerlain Spa offers a complete experience of serenity. With 14 treatment rooms and soon a marble hammam, the spa offers a full range of experiences. Thanks to their rigor and precision, the estheticians transform signature treatments into tailor-made rituals, guaranteeing absolute well-being, which we strongly suggest you try.

In the La Véranda restaurant, Executive Chef Frédéric Larquemin and Pastry Chef Eddie Benghanem offer a gourmet menu that invites you to savor every plate and extend the pleasure, this time, to the plate.
