In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Place du Casino is directly outside, placing the Casino de Monte-Carlo and the Salle Garnier opera house steps away.
The rooms
Calacatta marble bathrooms and Murano glass chandeliers anchor the rooms. Signature penthouse suites open to private rooftop plunge pools.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated rooftop infinity pool gazes over Monaco, and a private tunnel connects to a vaulted indoor seawater pool.
The spa and fitness studio
Floor-to-ceiling glass in the fitness studio looks out to sea, and treatment corridors lead to thalassotherapy suites.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Le Grill
The eighth-floor dining room looks out over the sea, serving marine rotisserie specialties and Grand Marnier soufflés.
The suites (which make up 60 percent of the room count) are more spacious and modern, offering a classically French feel ... without being stuffy.
At the table
Three-Michelin-starred Le Louis XV anchors the gilded salons, and Le Bar Américain serves cocktails over nightly live jazz.
How it began
François Blanc founded the property in 1864, setting out to eclipse every grand palace hotel across the continent.
“Gorgeous interiors are gilded and heavy with marble; the wine cellars have more than 350,000 bottles; Le Grill’s retractable roof opens in summer.”
