A Grand Hotel with a Storied Past in the Heart of Monaco
Just steps from the famous Place du Casino, Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is where history, glamour and polished elegance come together. Opened in 1886, this prestigious address manages to feel both timeless and firmly in tune with what today’s travellers expect. It achieves a rare balance between the classic heritage of the Monegasque Riviera and a carefully considered contemporary spirit. Great care has been taken to preserve the original character while introducing discreet, modern refinements. Its Belle Époque façade immediately sets the tone, while the interiors, shaped by renowned designer Jacques Garcia, heighten the impression of exclusivity. A true showcase of luxury, the Metropole Monte-Carlo is far more than a standard five-star: every space, from guest rooms to suites, is curated to combine deep comfort with a strong sense of style. It is a hotelier’s masterwork that feels completely at one with the gentle Mediterranean setting. This rare equilibrium is precisely what makes the Metropole an essential reference for a stay on the Rock, whether you come for culture, shopping, high-society events or stand-out dining.
Rooms and Suites: Exceptional Private Retreats
A stay at the Metropole means being immersed in an atmosphere of absolute refinement, whether in the luxurious rooms or the sumptuous suites overlooking the Principality. The property offers 125 rooms, including 64 suites, all designed as tranquil, luxurious hideaways. Most rooms have a warm feel, with fine wood panelling, rich fabrics and carefully chosen artworks that underline the hotel’s elegance. Views over the gardens or the Mediterranean add to the sense of escape and complete the picture-perfect setting. The suites take exclusivity a step further. The Carré d’Or Suite, the hotel’s showpiece, has a 110 m² terrace with views of the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Conceived for the most demanding guests, it combines contemporary designer pieces with a deep respect for the spirit of the building. Every suite comes with tailored service and meticulous attention to detail, creating a stay that feels genuinely out of the ordinary, like having “your own home, done in pure luxury”. Expect top-level bedding, ultra-modern amenities and even a personal butler to take care of every wish during your time at the hotel.
A Culinary Experience by Christophe Cussac
While the hotel captivates with its charm and history, food lovers are equally well looked after. In the kitchens, Christophe Cussac, renowned for his technical mastery and creativity, orchestrates a singular culinary journey. “Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac”, a recently unveiled fine-dining restaurant with an open, boldly conceived kitchen, embodies a style of French gastronomy that pairs excellence with imagination. The chef’s philosophy is to create unforgettable sensory experiences. Meticulously sourced local ingredients are transformed into plates that look as striking as they taste. Paired with a rare and wide-ranging wine list, an evening at Les Ambassadeurs lingers long in the memory. Whatever your favourite flavours, every dish and every aroma contributes to a story that becomes part of your stay. For a more relaxed mood, the hotel is also home to “YOSHI”, a Japanese restaurant with one Michelin star. This refined, contemporary setting serves precisely crafted dishes that respect and enhance each ingredient, delighting the most exacting palates. These two addresses clearly express the Metropole’s ambition not only to meet expectations, but to far exceed them. Guests leave with their taste buds fully satisfied, perfectly in step with the hotel’s chic, glamorous atmosphere.
A Sanctuary of Wellbeing: Spa Metropole by Givenchy
Within a cocoon of calm, Hotel Metropole offers a serene escape at its Spa Metropole by Givenchy, designed down to the smallest detail to promote relaxation and wellbeing. With refined décor that reflects the distinctive luxury of the Givenchy universe, the spa proposes an extensive collection of signature treatments, each movement conceived to restore harmony between body and mind. All treatment rooms overlook the gardens, bringing a soothing, natural backdrop to every session. Passionate about the craft of care and relaxation, the spa’s therapists personalise each treatment to match the specific needs of every guest. Beyond face and body rituals, the Odyssey pool, imagined by Karl Lagerfeld, promises a deeply comforting swim under the soft Mediterranean sky, in a hushed, elegant atmosphere. Together, these elements offer a sensorial experience that is as complete as it is luxurious. Connoisseurs of wellness will appreciate every detail, from a quiet moment in the hammam to a workout in the sophisticated fitness room. Each visitor can find their own path to relaxation in this distinctive sanctuary at the heart of the Principality.
A Jewel of Luxury with Tailor-Made Service
Completing this picture of excellence is the hotel’s service, which fully deserves the spotlight. Ensuring every guest feels genuinely special appears to be the team’s overriding priority. Warm and attentive without overstepping, the staff display exemplary professionalism, anticipating needs to make each stay feel unique. From the moment you arrive, everything flows smoothly, with every interaction thoughtfully handled to keep your experience seamless, from luggage handling to the most personal requests. An experienced concierge team is on hand to arrange exclusive activities around the Principality: private tours, VIP access to high-profile events or yacht excursions across Mediterranean waters. If you want to experience Monte-Carlo from a different angle, the concierges will craft unique outings tailored to your wishes. This level of service is not merely an asset; it is one of the pillars of the hotel’s enduring success. Those seeking the very best will leave feeling thoroughly looked after, in an atmosphere that manages to be both relaxed and luxurious, very much in keeping with Monaco itself.
