Set between mountains and sea on the Riviera, the glamorous resort of Monaco welcomes an exclusive clientèle in some of the world's best hotels.

Leading Hotels of the World always guarantee luxury and comfort but in Monte Carlo’s Golden Circle, the experience reaches new heights. From guest rooms to dining areas, everything is on a grand scale, elegant yet discreet. Beyond the spas and swimming pools, dress is formal or casual chic and guests enjoy fabulous views over the Mediterranean or the Place du Casino haunted by the jet set.

Monaco leading hotels offer carbon neutral bookings for those who wish can relax in ultimate luxury but leave no footprints.

The Métropole Leading Hotel of the World is a true oasis at the heart of Monte Carlo. Refurbished by French designer Garcia, it blends modern comfort and refinement in a Mediterranean décor. Rooms range from superior to deluxe and suites, top of the list the Carré d’Or on the top floor. The shopping arcade is lined with luxurious boutiques and temptation every step of the way.

The main restaurant boasts an open kitchen and sophisticated menu under the direction of Chef Robuchon. Yoshi serves modern Japanese fare while the spa restaurant prolongs the wellness experience. The hotel bar is the favourite meeting place of Monaco’s society.

The Metropole ESPA offers a variety of treatments, including the Heat Experience trail from hammam to ice fountains and scented showers prior to pampering. A fitness studio and heated seawater pool complete the picture.
