It will depend on your budget...and how much effort you want to expend. The most direct mode of airport transfer out to Versailles will be TAXI PARISIAN from the regular rank just outside of all CDG arrival terminal buildings. Not sure of the taxi fare...but at a guess 70-75 € ??

The least inexpensive...but relatively efficient mode of public transportaion out to a hotel in Versailles will be to take the RER %26#39;B%26#39; ligne--ROISSYRAIL--train from one of its two(2) stations within CDG to the SAINT MICHEL-NOTRE DAME station in central Paris and then make the quick train change (pretty much just %26#39;up %26#39;n over%26#39;) to the RER %26#39;C-5%26#39; ligne train (any train heading in the direcection of Versailles-Rive Gauche...any train with a %26#39;..V xxx..%26#39; designator) all the way to the end of the %26#39;C-5%26#39; ligne at VERSAILLES-Rive Gauche station. From here either walk the few blocks to the hotel or take a taxi from the VERSAILLES-Rive Gauche station to the hotel (print out the Map from the hotel%26#39;s web site to carry with your as either an aide memoire if you take the train or to show to the taxi driver) The one-way RER fare should be somewhere around 11 €. The trip should probably take approx.90 mins form the RER station at CDG to VERSAILLES-Rive Gauche station

It is also possible to take the RER %26#39;B%26#39; train to Gare du Nord, transfer to the RER %26#39;E%26#39; ligne at SAINT LAZARE and then transfer again to a SNCF-TER surface train to the VERSAILLES-Rive Droit station, which will be a bit closer to your hotel...but the connections are much more complicated and the Correspondences between train lignes longer. The RER %26#39;B%26#39;-to-RER %26#39;C-5%26#39; to Versailles-Rive Gauches is just easier all %26#39;round.
