The Chic Guide: What is Hotel Versailles?
Jack Olshan, Managing Director at Midmark Corporation: We are a locally sourced boutique hotel specializing in comfortable luxury, local sourcing and genuine hospitality.
The Chic Guide: What’s the inspiration behind it?
Olshan: At Midmark, enhancing experiences through design is what we do. Hotel Versailles will extend this brand promise by providing elevated experiences, custom-designed around each guest. We believe you cannot get too personal when it comes to creating a comfortable and memorable visit.
The Chic Guide: Who’s behind it?
Olshan: At Hotel Versailles, we believe experiences aren’t only created—they are designed. From their first inquiry to returning home, every guest will be left with positive memories and meaningful connections. Midmark visitors will leave believing we can provide better care experiences through design
The Chic Guide: Can you share more about the story that helped Hotel Versailles become what it is today?
Olshan: There has been a hospitality operation on our location since 1857. When the fire that destroyed the hotel occurred in 2019, we knew we had to continue this rich heritage. We also saw the need to modernize and elevate as traveler’s tastes and expectations change. Hotel Versailles is the result of Midmark’s attention to detail and focusing on the experience as a whole, just as they do with their medical, dental and animal health customers. Hotel Versailles is where Heritage meets hospitality.
The Chic Guide: What amenities are available at Hotel Versailles?
Olshan: Hotel Versailles features all of the amenities a guest would expect from a world class hospitality operation. We offer a full service restaurant, Silas Creative Kitchen, 24 hour guest services, 30 deluxe guestrooms and suites with in room iPad, casting capabilities and stocked mini bars, a 24 hour fitness center, in-room spa treatments, outdoor dining and event spaces and our event center, the 1819 Room which can accommodate events for up to 200 guests.
The Chic Guide: Can you share more information about Silas? What’s on the menu, and the experience you can expect?
Olshan: At Silas, we are committed to delivering the freshest dishes and pours in unexpected ways. We believe that the dining experience should be centered on taste. This is why we go above and beyond to secure only the best purveyors.
The Chic Guide: What makes Hotel Versailles unique?
Olshan: Truly the focus on the details that make a difference in a guest’s stay. We also sourced as many things as possible from local artisans and vendors. Our sheets, pillows and towels are from an Italian linen company owned and operated by Standard Textiles in Cincinnati. Our mattresses are from Medina, our furnishings were custom created and sourced by Kimball hospitality from Jasper, Indiana, the art throughout the property were all obtained from local artists, your in-room, stocked mini bar was almost exclusively sourced from Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana, Coke products being the exception. We also encourage our team to be themselves, you won’t find any scripts here, just true, genuine hospitality.
The Chic Guide: Where are you located?
Olshan: We are located at 22 N Center Street in beautiful Versailles, Ohio.
The Chic Guide: Is there anything new on the horizon?
Olshan: We also operate a luxury lodge, which has never been open to the public before, we plan to expand that location as well as our golf course, Stillwater Valley golf club and do everything we can to drive business to downtown Versailles. We are working toward becoming an all-in-one resort destination.
