Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo

"This 1900 landmark has a signature glass dome designed by Gustave Eiffel that "sparkles like a jewel." Rooms in beige and red or beige and blue have busy wallpaper—some have views of the sea, others of the yacht harbor. The morning’s catch is the basis for seafood dishes at Vistamar. The newly opened Crystal Bar pours wine and champagne by the glass."

"Set back in a leafy area behind Casino Square and facing the sea, the sprawling, elegant Hotel Hermitage is a slightly less ornate alternative to the glittery fussiness of Hôtel de Paris , though it's equally steeped in neoclassic grandeur. Many of the rooms and suites feel more contemporary than the hotel’s hand-painted Belle Epoque frescoes and stained-glass winter garden lobby dome designed by Gustave Eiffel. Accommodations range from rooms with clean lines, soft colors, and walnut furnishings to the most sought-after suites, with private terraces and lovely sea views. Because of the hotel’s spaciousness, it's particularly well suited to families who want a touch of nostalgic glamour along with high-tech plasma screens and other modern amenities. The hotel’s V.I.K. (very important kid) program offers everything from a game room with activities to access to the private beach and pool for children."
