Monte Carlo is known as a haven for the rich and famous. With its beautiful coastline, striking architecture, epic casinos and lax tax laws, it's no wonder why. The likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Bono, Jay Z and Elton John all have homes here. If you're not trying your luck in the casinos or checking out the upscale boutiques, you could spend hours just standing in awe at the luxury yachts that line the harbour. But despite all the excess and modern luxuries, Monte Carlo is actually one of the oldest cities in Europe, with occupation dating back to the stone age.
‘Artisan Hotel Moments Away from Casino Square’
Designed to reflect the higher class clientele who holiday amongst its modern interiors, Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is just steps away from the famous Casino Square in Monte-Carlo. Jacques Garcia orchestrated the redesign of the architect and interiors to bring this hotel, which originally opened in 1886, to the modern era. Rooms and suites are designed with a classic elegance in mind, promoting soft neutral tones and splashes of colour. Three restaurants specialising in Japanese, Mediterranean and light bite dishes are overseen by the magical work of head chef Joël Robuchon. Perhaps the highlight of Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo’s makeup is the ESPA, a holistic centre of therapeutic treatments that also features the incomparable Odyssey area, complete with a heated sea water swimming pool and dining space.
