Hotel Type
Luxury Hotel
It may not be the most famous hotel in the principality, but that's part of the reason why we gravitate to Hotel Metropole with its fashionable pedigree and off-the-radar glamour that manages to stay above the tourist fray. Visitors arrive to a showy motor court within the center of this rising architectural icon with its inset Grecian columns and terraces lined in stone balusters and rod iron. Inside, a grand lobby capped in a glass cupola is composed of belle epoque decor with grand murals that flank the walls of this former-papal palace that once belonged to Pope Leon XIII. Today, other monikers line the marquee like Karl Lagerfeld who recently redesigned the entire pool deck in a chic montage to modern-day fashion gods. Joel Robuchon leads the hotel's culinary offerings within two dining rooms that include a flagship Mediterranean gourmand and cutting edge Japanese at Yoshi. Further hotel amenities include an on-site ESPA Spa and stylish cocktail lounge that an attraction to locals and hotel guests alike.
The Room
Last renovated in 2004, entry-level rooms at the Metropole feature views of the city or the hotel’s cypress-lined entrance. A modern spin on belle époque design includes ornate carpets, custom-upholstered décor and bathrooms lined in white Carrara marble. Deluxe rooms offer better views on higher floors while junior suites include an integrated living room with enough room for entertaining larger groups. Top of the line Signature Suites feature apartment-style layout with furnished terraces overlooking the Monte-Carlo skyline.
