The most stunning luxury hotels in Monaco

Monaco has been at the forefront of the luxury hotel industry for more than a hundred years. Join us on a guided tour of the best the country has to offer.

Without a doubt the most prestigious hotel in Monaco, the Hotel de Paris on Place du Casino has been renowned throughout the world for more than 150 years. From the moment it opened in 1864, this five-star establishment became a magnet for the international elite, attracting leaders, writers and artists from across the globe. Over the decades, its success has never faltered, but rather been cultivated by the continuous reinvention of luxury standards and ambitious renovation projects.

Among the 207 suites and rooms at the Hotel de Paris, the Princess Grace and Prince Rainier III are the newest and, most importantly, the most sumptuous. The first offers 983 m² of space over two floors and a 180° sea view. The second is an 830 m² suite bathed in sunlight, with a 350 m² terrace providing a breathtaking view of Place du Casino and the Mediterranean, and featuring a heated infinity pool. Created in memory of Monaco’s “Builder Prince”, it incorporates sculptures, paintings and photographs that once belonged to Prince Rainier.

A few metres from the Hotel de Paris is another luxury hotel that has become a legendary venue since its construction in 1900: the Hotel Hermitage, a true architectural gem.

Also located in the heart of the Monte-Carlo district, just steps from the casino, the Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo strives to be different. It is accessed via an arch and a tree-lined path. This five-star hotel was originally a luxury estate constructed in the Belle Epoque style in 1889. Completely renovated by the internationally renowned designer Jacques Garcia in 2004, it now offers 125 rooms and suites featuring Mediterranean charm and combining glamour and sophistication, as well as the Spa Métropole by Givenchy.

The Hotel Metropole now offers a Michelin-starred restaurant: Yoshi. The Joël Robuchon Monte-Carlo restaurant, which held two Michelin stars, was closed following the death of the French chef, but it is still possible to savour Christophe Cussac’s dishes…

Also located on the Mediterranean shoreline, the Monte-Carlo Beach is exceptionally elegant. Shaded by a pine forest, this luxury hotel built in 1928 was one of the first hotels directly on the seafront in the French Riviera. The hotel’s 40 suites and rooms were renovated by architect and designer India Mahdavi. With its porthole windows, neo Art Deco furniture and fretwork doors, the 1930s-inspired seaside style lends a timeless, sophisticated touch. This contemporary hotel offers a private beach and Olympic swimming pool, as well as an intimate spa.

The Tigre Yoga Club offers flow yoga, Kundalini yoga, yin yoga, meditation and Pilates classes. Fine dining is available at the 100% organic Elsa restaurant which offers a seasonal menu featuring local produce. The organic approach also extends to the Deck and La Vigie, the two brasseries at the Monte-Carlo Beach.
