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…
