"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."

"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."

"More adventurous duos might rekindle their spark at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo, which can arrange a private helicopter flyover of Monaco, a loaner Aston Martin for day trips along the Riviera, a dinner for two prepared by executive chef Christophe Cussac, and a stack of chips to wager at the Casino de Monte-Carlo." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Luxury Hotels Are Making Couple's Stays More Romantic Than Ever — Here's How

"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."

What a spectacular place to celebrate my birthday/retirement. The staff were all so welcoming and helpful. The food was delicious and the hotel awesome. We had a lovely balcony room that was spacious and the bathroom was huge. Pillows for the bed were comfortable and they offered different ones if they didn't suit your needs. I did find the bed a bit too firm, but overall wonderful experience. Close to walking to the casino, gardens and shopping. We took a taxi to the Ocean Museum/ Castle area. This was our first visit and extremely pleased with everything, including the French Martini at the bar.

We stayed one night at the Metropole on our honeymoon in France and it is a phenomenal property. Our room, while a standard one, was beautiful, and the service impeccable. We happened to be there during the Monaco Super Yacht Show but despite the crowds in the city the hotel never felt overwhelmed or chaotic. In fact, the staff kindly sent us a bottle of wine with some snacks to celebrate our occasion and also gave us complimentary passes to the Casino down the street. We were lucky to eat at the last night of the pop up outdoor restaurant Zia adjacent to the Odyssey restaurant, which was a fantastic meal (thanks to Chefs Rocco & Manon for visiting with us!).||The Metropole's style shows in its Belle Epoque architectural detail, prominent location, and modern yet tasteful lux appointments. Hopefully we'll be fortunate enough to return in the future!

Incredibly well looked after, thank you. Roomy suite with a sea view and one of the best and most powerful showers I've ever had! Even if I did manage to soak the entire bathroom with it! Ate at Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac just before it got its double stars and can totally see why it deserved them. The stripy bread, by the way, is ace! Also recommend Yoshi, it feels like you're in Japan not France! Great service, good breakfast and excellent location. Recommend!

There is something extremely cool about the place. The pathway down from the street, the balconies, and more than anything – the pool and poolside restaurant. You must have an early dinner by the pool (when the light is still on). The location is great, a short walking distance from everything. The reception area can get too crowded and busy and the reception process was too long.

The rooms and bathrooms in the hotel were very old.|Very expensive for this kind of facilities. You only pay for the location.|Room had no view. Pool was nothing special small in size.|Paying so much money in this hotel and not having access to its parking was very upseting.

Never disappointed and centrally located.||We went for the Monaco Grand Prix and the Metropole is ideally located to restaurants, shopping and other great facilities. ||The staff by the pool lounge area were impressive and made you feel extraordinarily special, thank you. ||Highly recommended!!!

We recently stayed here with a large group and overall was a great stay. Rooms are spacious although showing their age (Drain cover in shower was loose). Service was as expected from a 5 star hotel although we encountered a fairly rude service attendant on 2 occasions when we called and asked for a taxi as we weren't very proficient in french to order one ourselves. The attendant finally submitted in ordering a taxi after 5 minutes of hesitating and deflecting. The 2nd time was when we asked the service desk for any recommendations to book some cabanas or seats by the beach, only to be abruptly cut off and told that 'They're none available, anywhere!'. Definitely not 5 star service and wishing that individual a well rested break from their role as it seemed quite stressful.

Our stay at The Metropole felt overrated and did not meet the standards of a five-star establishment. Arrival & check in, Upon arrival, our room wasn’t ready, but M kindly arranged for us to freshen up and have our shirt ironed, which we appreciated. However, during the check-in procedure, we were never offered any beverages, despite the warm weather, which was quite unusual and disappointing. Room experience, The rooms were very outdated, particularly the bed. Additionally, the wine bottle promised at the time of booking was not present. Most concerning, however, was the fact that our bathroom was dirty when we gained access to it. This level of cleanliness is completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone one that claims to be five-star. Overall impression, The Metropole severely lacks in service and feels outdated. Compared to other five-star establishments, this has been one of the more disappointing experiences we've had this year. It was not worth the cost. Please feel free to contact me for further discussion.
