Monte Carlo, the epitome of glamour and wealth, is home to some of the world's most exclusive hotels. The most expensive hotel in Monaco, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, stands on Casino Square, a symbol of opulence since 1864. With its 206 rooms, including 7 Diamond Suites, this palace offers an unmatched level of refinement. Guests enjoy the world's largest hotel wine cellar, a 6,600-square-meter Thermes Marins spa, and direct access to the Monte-Carlo Beach Club's Olympic-sized pool. Expect to pay upwards of €1,000 per night for a standard room, with suites reaching €20,000 or more.
For those seeking alternatives, the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, also a Leading Hotels of the World property, offers Belle Époque elegance with a rooftop pool and views of the Mediterranean. The Fairmont Monte Carlo, with its prime location on the Circuit de Monaco, provides a more accessible entry point at around €400 per night. Staying in the central district of Monte Carlo puts you steps from the casino, luxury boutiques, and the Grimaldi Forum. For a more beach-focused stay, the Le Méridien Beach Plaza offers private beach access and a saltwater pool. Whichever you choose, book in advance for the best rates.
