Where to Eat, Stay, and Play in Monaco

"The independently owned, Jacques Garcia-designed Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo boasts designer names like the Spa Metropole by Givenchy—one of three in the world—and the Karl Lagerfeld-designed Odyssey, an urban rooftop oasis with a heated saltwater pool. In addition to YOSHI, the only Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant on the Riviera, Metropole debuted one of the most anticipated openings in the principality this summer: Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac, a revival of the original restaurant from the 1920s, helmed by the late Joël Robuchon's former right-hand chef."
