The sprawling landmark hotel recalls the glory days of Monte Carlo, when the pool area was full of glitterati and high-society notables...
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on a pine-fringed French peninsula, the property sits right at the Monaco border, minutes from Larvotto Beach.
The rooms
Every sea-facing room features nautical porthole windows, bold Mediterranean stripes, and private balconies overlooking the rocky shoreline.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A diving board extends over the 50-meter heated seawater pool, set between palms and terracotta pavilions.
Spa and gym
Open-air seaside cabanas host organic PAOMA skincare rituals, and cardio machines fill the wood-paneled fitness room.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Michelin-starred Elsa serves organic seafood on a sea-facing terrace, and La Vigie plates Italian classics under the pines.
How it began
American society hostess Elsa Maxwell helped launch the retreat in 1929, creating an enduring summer haven for Monaco royalty.
