After four years of pharaonic work and 250 million euros invested, the mythical Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo has completed its moult. A refresh and extension of the most successful and iconic Palace of the Principality of Monaco.
Hotel de Paris Monte Carlo, iconic palace
It is in front of the splendid Casino of Monte-Carlo, on a field of olive-trees and lemon trees, that the billionaire François Blanc dreams at the end of the XIXth century of building "a hotel which exceeds all that was created until right here".
With the help of Prince Charles III and the Société des bains de mer, the Hotel de Paris came out of the ground in 1864. Alexandre Dumas, Winston Churchill, Maria Callas, Salvador Dali and many personalities will stay there, Errol Flynn will marry there. Initiant the concept of "resort", backed by the sumptuous marine thermal baths of Monaco and a set of restaurants collecting seven stars in the Michelin Guide including the famous Louis XV of Alain Ducasse, the Hotel de Paris has simply become a palace of legend . First impression
It is first and foremost the beauty of the 1909 façade and the Belle Epoque architecture of the Hôtel de Paris that catches the eye as soon as we arrived on Monaco's Place du Casino. The entrance hall is grand : light colors, bright cupola,flowers, classicism and modernity mingle harmoniously. The new open-air patio bordered by palm trees and the shops of the finest jewelery houses adds a dimension of "luxury shopping" to the hotel.
Common areas, restaurants, rooms, have been redecorated with great taste and a sense of exemplary detail. The interior is modern. It gives off a pleasant atmosphere. How is the hotel ?
Since its rebirth, Hotel de Paris has 207 keys including 60% suites and 40% rooms whose minimum area is now 34 square meters. A rotunda has been created, offering sublime perspectives on the Mediterranees sea from the new rooms and sumptuous family apartments. Architects Richard Martinet and Gabriel Viora raised the main building.
A wellness area was inaugurated on the roof with terrace, swimming pool and deckchairs, hammam, sauna, fitness area and lounge bar to complete the spacious facilities of the Thermes Marins, accessible to hotel guests by a dedicated corridor. The largest spa in Europe has advanced technologies (cryotherapy at -110 ° C ...), has a large indoor pool with panoramic views of the sea and Monaco, ultra modern equipment and a very nice terrace restaurant L'Hirondelle. The "Hôtel de Paris" experience is inseparable from its thermal baths as it is from the Casino that faces it. Did you know that the equestrian statue of Louis XIV, in the entrance, would bring luck to players who touch the leg of the royal horse? The Rooms
