Compare Monte Carlo hotels

Monte Carlo: roll the words around on your tongue. A little Italian, a little French, a lot glamorous. The very name sends tingles down the spine and conjures up images of fast cars, high stakes and oversized sunglasses.

Hotels in Monte Carlo are, as one might expect, every inch as glitzy as the area itself. However, you don’t need to win big at the roulette wheel to book your dream stay at the most glittering edge of the Med.

The very best Monte Carlo hotels are the fulfillers of fantasy. Private beaches, sea-view dining, cool marble interiors, supercars in the driveway, swimming pool terraces that swing to the click-clack of high heels: this is pure Hollywood glamour lounging seductively by the sea in the principality of Monaco.

Many of the top hotels in Monte Carlo are more like resorts, with every amenity you could desire to live the high life without putting a perfectly manicured toe anywhere beyond the hotel grounds.

From magnificent splendour to stripped-back modernity, there’s a luxury hotel to suit your taste if you have the budget to match.

This is Monte Carlo, after all; there are likely to be more stars of the silver screen in the bar than there are stars next to the hotel’s name.

Clearly this is not a cheap place to stay, and the Champagne lifestyle does not come at a knockdown price, but there are a few ways to find lower rates on hotels in Monte Carlo.

Planning your stay well in advance gives you a better chance of snapping up a cheaper deal, which in this part of the world can mean significant savings.

You could also consider hotels in one of Monaco’s three other areas: the port quarter of La Condamine, historic Monaco-Ville, and the more modern Fontvieille. Monaco is a small place, so you can easily walk to the Monte Carlo quarter from a nearby hotel.

May’s Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix is an obvious lure for lovers of fast cars and all-day yacht soirees.
