Located in the heart of Monte-Carlo, the legendary Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo stands as a beacon of luxury, history, and sophistication. Since its grand opening in 1864, this palatial hotel has welcomed royalty, celebrities, and discerning travelers seeking an unparalleled experience on the French Riviera.


Following a multi-million-dollar renovation, the hotel seamlessly blends Belle Époque grandeur with modern elegance, offering guests a refined retreat just steps from the iconic Casino de Monte-Carlo and the Mediterranean Sea.


Why Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is a Must-Visit

  • A Storied Legacy – Once the setting for Prince Rainier III and Grace Kelly’s wedding dinner, the hotel remains a symbol of Monaco’s golden age.

  • Exquisite Design – French architect Richard Martinet revitalized the property, enhancing its opulent interiors with Murano glass chandeliers, gold-accented mirrors, and Italian marble bathrooms.

  • Unmatched Location – Situated on Place du Casino, the hotel offers front-row views of the Formula 1 Grand Prix and direct access to luxury boutiques, the opera, and Thermes Marins spa.

  • World-Class Wellness – Guests enjoy complimentary entry to the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, a 75,000-square-foot spa with seawater pools and rejuvenating treatments.

  • Luxurious Accommodations – From sun-drenched rooms to the 10,000-square-foot Princess Grace Suite (complete with a private infinity pool), every space exudes timeless elegance.


A Stay Like No Other


Arrival & First Impressions Stepping into the grand lobby, I was immediately struck by the soaring glass dome, Venetian mirrors, and an air of refined grandeur. The scent of fresh flowers and the soft hum of live piano music set the tone for a truly indulgent escape.


The Room – A Sanctuary of Luxury Our Sea-View Suite was a masterpiece of design—spacious, bathed in natural light, and adorned with Louis XVI-inspired furnishings. The Italian marble bathroom, complete with a deep soaking tub, was the perfect retreat after a day of exploring.


Highlights of Our Stay

  • Wellness Sky Club – The rooftop oasis features a heated pool, cabanas, and panoramic views stretching to the Italian coastline.

  • Exclusive Shopping – The Jeweler’s Courtyard is a hidden gem, where luxury boutiques offer high-end jewelry and bespoke creations.

  • Gourmet Dining – While the hotel boasts Michelin-starred restaurants, we appreciated the plant-based options at Em Sherif Monte-Carlo, where Lebanese-Mediterranean flavors took center stage.


Service Beyond Compare

From the discreet turndown service to the attentive concierge team, every detail was executed with precision and warmth.


Final Thoughts


The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is a living legend. Whether you’re drawn by its historic charm, world-class amenities, or prime location, this palace of luxury delivers an unforgettable experience.


For those seeking the pinnacle of Monaco’s glamour, this is the place to go.
