Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo

Few hotels have a restaurant by Joël Robuchon, one of France’s most celebrated Michelin-starred chefs, but Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo has three. One of them is a collaboration with designer Karl Lagerfeld, who created a bespoke mythological mural to preside over the terrace pool club. Located in the heart of Monte-Carlo, Hôtel Métropole is surrounded by haute couture, legendary casinos (guests enjoy VIP, admission-free entrance to the Casino of Monte-Carlo) and the residences of royalty. The hotel itself enjoys a storied past: Pope Leo XIII once owned the property.
