Monaco
The Principality, its palaces and its port. 13 places, chosen and checked for 2026.
Monaco is the most concentrated luxury on earth: the Hôtel de Paris, Le Louis XV, the Casino and a members-only cigar club, all around one square above the harbour.
Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo
Opened in 1864 beside the Casino, the Hôtel de Paris is the heart of Monte-Carlo, home of Le Louis XV and a wine cellar carved into the rock.
Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo
A Belle Époque palace above the port, with a glass-domed winter garden and L'Abysse, Yannick Alléno's sushi counter.
Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo
A short walk above the Casino gardens, with interiors by Jacques Garcia and Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac.
Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse
Alain Ducasse's Riviera flagship, in a gilded Belle Époque dining room at the Hôtel de Paris facing the Casino. Mediterranean haute cuisine and a cellar dug into the rock beneath the hotel.
Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac
Christophe Cussac's restaurant at the Hôtel Métropole, a short walk up from the Casino gardens.

Martinique-born Marcel Ravin brings Caribbean spice to Riviera produce, on the water at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel.
