Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is a 209-room grand hotel on Place du Casino in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Founded in 1864, it occupies the center of the principality’s gaming district, with the Casino de Monte-Carlo and Opéra Garnier nearby. A four-year renovation retained the Belle Époque façade dating from 1909 while adding a monumental entrance porch, a new lobby, and direct access to an open-air inner courtyard. The result is a historic address that accommodates contemporary rooms and suites without pretending to be a boutique hotel.
Dining carries much of the hotel’s weight. Le Louis XV, Alain Ducasse, holds three Michelin stars, while Le Bar Américain supplies live entertainment and Cédric Grolet’s pastry outpost occupies the hotel. Guests also have direct access to Les Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, a 6,600-square-metre spa, plus a terrace pool with harbor views. Its Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating for 2026, three MICHELIN Keys, and 2025 World’s 50 Best Hotels ranking at 36 place it firmly among established luxury properties. It suits travelers who value ceremony, dining, and a front-row address over privacy.
