The Metropole, Mythic building of the Principality

Built in 1889 by the Danish architect Hans-Geirg Tersling, the Metropole Hotel is located in the heart of the most prestigious area of the Principality, the Carré d’Or. In a beautiful Belle Epoque style, it majestically sits next to the famous Casino of Monte Carlo and 5-star palaces.

 

The Metropole as we all know it today.

Bought in the 80’s by the Boustany family, the Hotel Metropole has been entirely reconstructed in a modern style, keeping its elegant style of the Belle Epoque times. Its facades perfectly reflect the beauty of the architecture from the beginning of the 20th century. Nowadays, the building offers high standard fittings. It has been inaugurated in 1988 and all renovated in 2004.

 

A Hotel, a Residence and a shopping center.

The Metropole Monte Carlo we know today consists of several spheres of interest. First of all, it is a luxury 5-star Hotel worthy of the most prestigious palaces of the world. Its majestic lobby and its starred restaurants attract the most exclusive clientele. The hotel features 126 bedrooms, including 64 suits for prestigious guests, a beautiful swimming pool, a luxury Spa, a fitted fitness room…

Discover the Metropole Hotel.

The lower part of the building consists of a sumptuous shopping area, also in a Belle Epoque Style, and lots of prestigious brands settled there, as well as finest food boutiques and different elegant shops. The Manager of the Metropole Shopping Monte-Carlo make a priority to select only exceptional brands.

Finally, the Metropole also proposes private apartments with prestigious fittings. Availabilities are very rare and the waiting list is long. The residents of the building can enjoy the hotel’s services, such as the access to the swimming pool. Our office, Monte-Carlo Sotheby’s International Realty, located under the Arcades of the Metropole, proposes apartments for sale or for rent in the Metropole building or nearby.

The Metropole Surroundings

Ideally located, the Metropole benefits from prime location between the Avenue de la Madone and the Avenue des Spélugues, essential step of the Monaco Formula 1 GP tracks. Hotel Bedrooms are booked months in advance as the supercars pass right in front of the building.

Just in front of the Metropole Hotel are the Casino’s gardens, with beautiful ponds and luxurious greenery. Around these gardens are the Hotel de Paris, the Casino of Monte Carlo and Opera Garnier, the Café de Paris and the new-built One Monte Carlo which host all luxury brands in contemporary boutiques. In the Carré d’Or are also private banks, boutiques, agencies and lots of restaurants, from the family brasseries to the refined gourmet restaurants.
