Inside the wonderfully distinctive and one of a kind Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo

Built-in the early 1900s, this historic luxury hotel offers an intimate, relaxed atmosphere, a haven of peace in the heart of Monte-Carlo. Its architecture is unique in the world, with a building listed as a Historic Monument, part of which is the sublime Eiffel cupola in the winter garden, designed by the uncontested master of metallic architecture.

Perched at a unique vantage above the Mediterranean, with one of the most beautiful views of the Rock and the Port in the Principality, it enjoys a fabulous location, close to the vibrant centre of Monaco, and yet remains a haven of peace for its guests.

Eminent designers and artists put their stamp on the hotel’s style. The dining room, named Belle Époque is one of the jewels of Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo. All by itself, it embodies the character and opulence of the establishment. The ceiling is the work of artist Gabriel Ferrier, Prix de Rome and the 1889 Universal Exposition Gold Medallist who was inspired by the fresco, “Grâces Florentines”, by François Boucher and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. In the 1970s, André Levasseur undertook the room’s restoration, highlighting the pink marble columns, reminiscent of the Grand Trianon, amidst the crystal chandeliers.

Its unique universe offers a perfect blend of its Belle Époque heritage and modernity, with 277 rooms, including 53 Junior Suites, 22 Suites and 13 Diamond Suites. All of these exceptional suites offer superb views of the Bay of Monaco and the Mediterranean. The interior design creates a timeless setting with noble materials and minimalist forms, soft and happy colours, bronze and matt gold. The walls are decorated with contemporary works of art. The rooms are also equipped with the latest TV and Internet technologies for maximum comfort, along with the reception areas.

Pavyllon Monte-Carlo, a restaurant by Yannick Alléno has a strikingly local culinary identity: it is understated and cosmopolitan, just like Monaco itself. It is everything you would expect from its stunning home, the Hôtel Hermitage – a real gem in Monaco’s crown, adored by fans of culture, sophistication, and the finer things in life. On the menu: free-spirited, delicious and refined cuisine, an elegant setting around its signature bar and a resolutely modern, accessible and informal mood. A new, not-to-miss address for Monaco residents.

The Crystal Bar is Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo bar, an ideal cosy and elegant setting, inspired by English clubs with leather chairs in a resolutely contemporary atmosphere. In the winter, it’s the meeting place for champagne enthusiasts or for enjoying an original cocktail before dinner or an exquisite after-dinner liqueur.

Hôtel Hermitage Monte Carlo features seven terraces and gardens, being the perfect sumptuous outdoor spaces for chic cocktails under the Riviera sky. The Midi terrace and its unique views of the Rock and the yachts of Monaco can welcome up to 350 people for cocktails. The Salon Excelsior has its own terrace and garden embellished with a fountain. The Salle Belle Époque and the Mezzanine du Jardin d’Hiver are also equipped with terraces with views. On the roof of the Salon Eiffel, the terrace and garden offer an elegant setting for cocktails, walks and coffee breaks.
