Becoming the official skincare line of a lavish five-star hotel is no mean feat — and Brad Pitt’s line, Beau Domaine, is reaping the benefits of the sought-after status.
The two-time Oscar winner, 61, has planted firm roots at Hotel Les Lumières Versailles, a state-of-the-art oasis located just 40 minutes outside of Paris.
In fact, the hotel, which is a proud member of the coveted Relais & Chateaux organization, is the first — and only one — to house the “One Upon a Time … in Hollywood” star’s genderless skincare line in its spa.
Needless to say, the property is equipped with the latest and greatest spa facilities the mind could imagine, including — but not limited to — a hammam, sauna and fitness room.
With exclusively Beau Domaine products in its arsenal, the hotel offers some of Hollywood’s most-loved treatments in true Pitt form.
These include holistic, anti-aging procedures, each of which incorporates the brand’s “crystal vibrational energy.” The treatments also include lymphatic drainage massages.
The five-star spa also offers its guests a “dream machine,” a rare self-hypnosis treatment that involves immersion in various light frequencies.
Beau Domaine, originally named Le Domaine when launched in 2022, was developed by Pitt in partnership with the Perrin family, the Château Beaucastel vintners with whom he also worked on his Château Miraval Côtes de Provence Rosé.
The science-backed brand’s products harness the antioxidant powers of Beaucastel grapes and contain GSM10, an exclusive molecule that includes a combination of the fruit’s skin and seeds.
“We were looking for skincare companies that shared the same values as us, and they understood where the products come from, and that link to us was very important,” Lorène Martel — owner of 2L Collection, the parent company of Les Lumières Versailles — exclusively told Page Six.
“We’ve tried many skincare companies in the process, and, eventually, my team discovered their products. Their products are made in France, which is also a key aspect for us.”
“I think we are the perfect match in terms of DNA. Their sustainability is also something that resonated with us, as it’s something we are constantly thinking about — down to which mattresses we choose at the hotel,” Martel added.
According to the brand’s website, Beau Domaine also “wants to help slow the process of skin aging and give everyone, regardless of gender or skin type, the opportunity to age well.”
Les Lumières Versailles opened its doors in October 2024 following an extensive restoration of the 17th-century mansion, which King Louis XIV once gifted to French aristocrats.
Located just opposite the Palace of Versailles, the hotel boasts an Age of Enlightenment theme, which is a direct nod to France’s 17th-century movement that gave birth to Voltaire and Descartes, to mention a few.
In fact, each of the 31 rooms is named after a significant figure from that time period and pays homage to them through intimate touches, such as specially curated fragrances crafted by renowned Versailles candlemaker Trudon.
However, according to Martel, the hotel’s detailed approach to ensuring their guests remain present is what sets them apart.
“We are trying to introduce small elements to invite our guests to be present and conscious of their experience and get better rest,” she said of the five-star property. “These include cards asking to write down three key moments from the day, as well as a meditation box and weighted blankets.”
Other elements include guided meditations, ambiance lamps and meditation books.
The luxe hotel — which boasts an environmentally conscious ethos — also offers its guests an array of experiences, including opera performances, access to exclusive equestrian shows and horse rides through the estate.
However, its most prized offerings are exclusive tours of the Palace of Versailles, given its close proximity.
The hotel’s food scene is also worth experiencing. With three main dining options, each renowned for its own experience, guests are guaranteed to find something that tickles their fancy.
These include Le Café Pierre Hermé Paris, the first-in hotel form from the celebrated pastry chef, fine-dining restaurant Table des Lumières and the Bar des Philosophes, which serves exclusively French spirits.
Chef Erwan Le Thomas, who was recently awarded the prestigious Meilleur Ouvrier de France title, runs the hotel’s main restaurant.
