Hotel Metropole, Monte Carlo

Favourite hotel in Monaco. Just off the beaten track despite being (almost ) on casino square. Reception area always stunning. Pool area is really special and food served there is fantastic. Room with a balcony a must if available. Christmas is very special here

We travel a great deal and this was our favorite hotel ever! The staff made us feel like family and were interested and excited about our daily adventures. Everyday we got back to the hotel the concierge would ask us about what we had done and spent 5-10 minutes rehashing it with us and in the mornings discussing the plans for the day and ways to improve it. The staff in the breakfast restaurant anticipated our needs with extra bottles of water on the table and gluten free toast ready for us and with big welcomes waiting. The hotel is gorgeous and takes luxury to another level and the location is perfect. It’s easy to walk to stores and restaurants from there. It’s a very special place!

The insiders do know very well, that the Hotel Metropole is considered as the "best hotel" in Monte Carlo. The service is flawless, charming and the staff does its very best to keep you content and happy. I am a pool person; therefore this absolutely adorable sea water pool with its soothing background music is exactly my taste. The spa is on a level of sophistication you won't easily find somewhere else. What do you expect from a luxury hotel? You want to feel at home and pampered, you want to enjoy great cuisine, an outstanding service, a cozy room, a fast room cleaning service (you return from your breakfast and the room has been done - just like magic!). As a frequent summer time traveller to Monaco this was my first time to go there for Christmas - and I loved it! The Metropole will stay on my travel list, it puts you into a different bubble of energy and I will return for sure.
