Hôtel Métropole, Monte-Carlo

"This Belle Époque hotel was built in 1886 on land that previously belonged to Pope Leo XIII—and pedigree aside, there's plenty to appreciate. Located near Casino Square, its design has a contemporary edge and a glass-domed atrium, and guests can enjoy excellent food throughout; try Yoshi, opened by Joël Robuchon, for Japanese delicacies in a secluded garden dining room. The spa is also top-notch, with a sauna, hammam, caldarium, ice fountain, and aromatherapy showers to round it out."

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."

"Set back behind the gardens of the humming Casino Square, this 1900s Italianate-style palace is one of the few luxury hotels in Monte Carlo that is independent from the Grimaldi-owned SBM properties. It offers an attractive mix of style, superb cuisine, a top-notch spa, and an outdoor pool amid urban Monte Carlo. Redesigned by Jacques Garcia, the vast lobby was transformed into an atmospheric bar and lounge with the decorator’s trademark mix of opulent styles: Renaissance colors, 15th-century tapestries, and armchairs upholstered in striped Pierre Frey fabrics. The deeply comfortable rooms don’t all come with a view, but each offers a modern medley of warm beiges with orange taffeta curtains and chocolate-brown bathrooms with checkerboard floors. For the perfect post-shopping-spree tonic, have a drink in the hotel’s Karl Lagerfeld–designed poolside lounge area."

Located in the heart of Monte Carlo, Hotel Metropole is the perfect combination of comfort and convenience. Go outside, there's luxury shopping mall and the famous casino (guests get free tickets for entry). Go inside, there's Michelin-starred restaurants and spacious and comfortable rooms. I had some of my best meals at this hotel. They delivered true 5-star service. The hotel staffs remembered my name. They responded quickly to all my requests. And I felt very welcomed and honored throughout my stay. Looking back, all my past stays with Waldorf, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Park Hyatt, etc. the classic and well-known luxury brands, they did great but not to match this hotel --- I've set my standards too easy for them. My go-to hotel in Monaco.

Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is, quite simply, perfection at its highest level. From the very first moment, everything about this hotel feels refined, effortless, and impeccably curated. The location is outstanding—right in the heart of Monte Carlo—yet the atmosphere inside is calm, elegant, and exclusive, like a private sanctuary away from the city’s glamour. The rooms and suites are breathtaking: spacious, immaculately clean, beautifully designed, and finished with the finest materials. Every detail reflects luxury, comfort, and absolute attention to excellence. The beds are exceptionally comfortable, the bathrooms are flawless, and the ambiance invites pure relaxation. The service deserves the highest praise. The staff is extraordinarily professional, warm, attentive, and discreet. Every request is anticipated, every interaction feels personal, and the level of care is truly world-class. This is hospitality at its most refined. Dining at the hotel is an unforgettable experience. The restaurants offer outstanding cuisine, exquisite presentation, and impeccable service. Every meal feels like a celebration of taste, quality, and elegance. The pool and spa area are simply stunning—peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly maintained. It is the ideal place to unwind, recharge, and fully enjoy the Monte Carlo lifestyle. In every sense, Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo exceeds expectations. This is not just a hotel; it is an experience of pure luxury, sophistication, and excellence. A perfect stay, worthy of the highest possible rating—far beyond five stars.

We stayed at the Hotel Metropole for a "Cozy Long Stay" room and had an unforgettable trip. We actually got engaged here, and the staff made everything incredibly easy and beautiful. They helped me arrange a photographer for the proposal, pointed us to the best spots around town, and assisted with travel to Eze and Nice. Everyone we interacted with was warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful. We looked forward to the amazing breakfast every morning, and we also ate at Yoshi in the hotel, which was fantastic. The cocktails served in the lobby bar were the best we’ve ever had. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The Hotel Metropole will always be a special place for us.

I have just returned from this wonderful hotel when visiting Monaco for a conference. I can't speak highly enough of the fantastic service, ambience, decor and style of the Hotel Metropole. I was greeted on arrival with a wonderful alcohol-free cocktail and nibbles while the concierge and reception staff managed my check-in, giving me a chance to enjoy the ambience of the beautifully decorated lobby area. I was upgraded to a Junior Suite which was most welcome as I was going to be staying for 4 days and had a lot of work to get through while visiting.|Everyone I engaged with from the concierge, reception staff, housekeeping and waiting staff in the beautifully appointed breakfast room offered exceptional service.|During the course of my stay, I had cause to visit quite a number of hotels in Monaco for meetings and engagements and I have to say that I would place the Hotel. Metropole at the very top of what I encountered.|Well done to all the team on an excellent service.

We went to the Hôtel Métropole in Monaco for a drink and entrusted our car to the valet service. When we decided to leave, I asked the concierge to change a 50-euro bill so I could tip the valet. Instead of simply assisting, he responded in a condescending and demanding manner, strongly insinuating that he himself expected a tip just for changing my money.|I then gave the valet a 20-euro tip. His reaction was completely unacceptable. He became visibly angry, raised his voice, and aggressively demanded 50 euros for only 20 minutes of parking, continuing this behavior for several minutes in front of others. This was intimidating, humiliating, and entirely unprofessional.|I am fully aware of the standards in Monaco. I live in Beaulieu-sur-Mer and have been visiting Monaco regularly for more than 10 years. I have never, ever experienced anything like this. I am comfortable tipping generously when service is respectful — but I refuse to be pressured, harassed, or shaken down for money.|What should have been a pleasant evening turned into a deeply unpleasant and shocking encounter that reflects very poorly on the hotel’s service standards. This behavior is not luxury hospitality; it is coercive and unacceptable.|Shame on the hotel management for allowing the employees to do this to their customers.

*Bullying, Discrimination, and Lack of Accountability* I had a deeply distressing experience at this hotel. As a paying guest, I was treated with suspicion and subjected to humiliating treatment by a staff member. When I raised my concerns, a female manager responded dismissively and attempted to minimise the situation, at one point referring to the staff member as “cute,” which felt inappropriate and gaslighting given the seriousness of my complaint. When I later escalated the issue, the General Manager showed no empathy, offered no apology or accountability, and ultimately responded by threatening legal action simply because I described my experience to the hotel directly. The way this situation was handled left me feeling bullied, disrespected, and discriminated against. Guests should be treated with dignity and equality regardless of background, and that standard was not met here. Luxury is not just about appearance - it is about conduct, accountability, and respect. Unfortunately, this hotel failed on all three.
