If you're looking for a balance between privacy and direct access to vibrant city life, the Monte-Carlo Beach is the perfect hotel for you. Small and intimate, the deep red five-star house has been a staple in the Principality since the 1930s. A prime location, excellent cuisine, and plenty of space to relax away from the Monegasque hustle and bustle make it one of the best on the Riviera.

Ambience

The Monte-Carlo Beach will already draw your attention from afar: the hotel, whose architecture is the work of Iranian-French designer India Mahdavi, glows in burning red. Understated luxury is the order of the day at the hotel, with interiors ranging from retro elegance – with a modern twist in the form of linear murals – to Mediterranean chic. The exterior already showcases that the MCB is not afraid of color: the bathrooms glow in rich sunny yellow and the buffet area shines in warm terracotta, while the sea glistens in intense blue in the background.

One of the Monte-Carlo Beach's great advantages is its location: in the middle of lively Monte-Carlo, the hotel is nestled in utter privacy, in a place of tranquility, underneath lush pine trees on the coast of Monaco. Direct access to the sea is complemented by a view of Monaco – the sea of lights at night is particularly enchanting. Speaking of access, the hotel is the only one of the four Société des Bains de Mer within walking distance to the popular Monte-Carlo Beach Club. Right after breakfast, you can leisurely stroll over to the club, dive into the Olympic-length saltwater pool, or make yourself comfortable on the private beach to sway in the waves of the Mediterranean Sea.

Rooms & suites

The interior creates a dialog between tradition and modernity – elegant, timeless furnishings are interspersed with minimalist murals, subtle blocks of color, and statement pieces. Tip from the editors: a room on the elevated first floor of the two-story MCB provides direct private access to the breakfast area via the terrace.

Gastronomy

ELSA serves up outstanding fare by chef Mélanie Serre, who enhances each meal with passion, creativity and a variety of flavors.
