Hotel Metropole

Situated in the heart of Monaco, the Hotel Metropole is just metres from Monte Carlo’s infamous Grand Casino and the elegant gardens and stylish boutiques of the Carré d’Or district.

Stepping inside the newly refurbished hotel, the lobby opens up to an enchanting oasis with a domed atrium roof, fresh flowers and is richly furnished with the finest natural materials.

First opened in 1886, the classic Belle époque architecture of the hotel has been preserved with the addition of modern touches making it cosmopolitan and elegant. The rooms also reflect this style with draped Pierre Fres Linens and large bathrooms of solid woods, marble, slate, oversized bathtubs and jet massage showers.

Try out the newly built ESPA Spa and fully equipped fitness studio. The luxurious spa introduces original treatments such as “The Heat Experience” a series of sensation temperatures alternating dry and humid heat, ice fountains and scented showers. Or experience the heated seawater pool situated in its own private oasis of Oleanders, lemon trees and palm trees. The poolside restaurant linked with the Spa, offers a lighter alternative menu with a Mediterranean touch. The outside setting is a perfect location to enjoy the selection of fruit and vegetable cocktails or fruit teas. The hotel’s main restaurant has been awarded 2 Michelin Stars and offers a modern innovative cuisine with a Mediterranean twist, all prepared in the open kitchen where you can watch the chefs in action as they work. The new Japanese restuarant Yoshi, opening in September 2008 will add to the great restaurant options at the hotel.

With its prestigious events and glamorous guests Monaco is the ideal destination for a jet set getaway, whilst surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Côte d’Azur and the surrounding mountains.
