Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort

Evoking the chic vibe and spirit of the 1930s, The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel offers an exclusive resort experience. Designed to reflect the style and grandeur of a private residence, the resort and its wonderful gardens are located on Monaco’s Avenue Princess Grace, on the Larvotto Peninsula with endless views of the stunning Mediterranean coastline. The interior design is lavish, with a Vegas-style grandeur and the service is warm and informal.

The rooms and suites are all comfortably spacious and have been decorated to reflect the colours of the Mediterranean in warm tangerines, sunny lemons, and mellow golds, with light oak furniture, sandstone floors, contemporary white ensuite bathroom and terrace. Amenities include Wi-Fi, tea and coffee making facilities, along with free access to the pool complex, sandy lagoon (seasonal), gym and the Casino de Monte-Carlo. All boast sea views, aside from the entry level Deluxe Room City View accommodation. Prestige Rooms offer the best sea views, while all room categories Deluxe, Exclusive and Prestige, have options sleeping up to four guests.

The expansive suites feature a more contemporary style and separate living area. Duplex Suites, Suites and the Suite Nadal, a temple to the career of Rafael Nadal, all sleep up to four, while the fabulous Prestige Suites sleep up to three guests. For a memorable stay, book the top of the range, Diamond Suite Eleven, sleeping up to four guests in two bedrooms, with private elevator, housekeeper, magnificent sea and mountain views and use of the hotel’s limousine for private transfers within the resort complex. This suite can be connected to a Duplex Suite to accommodate up to eight guests.

The resort’s Blue Bay Restaurant has been awarded two Michelin stars and features exceptional cuisine fusing Caribbean and Mediterranean flavours. For bistro classics, the delightful L’Orange Verte will not disappoint. During the summer months, Las Brias serves lunch on the sea-facing terrace. Guests can also relax over a drink at the Blue Gin Bar, affectionately known as the ‘Waterfront,’ owing to its breath-taking sea views. Alternatively, at L'Hippocampe & the Lagoon Bar there are chilled DJ sets and a cool vibe.

The Cinq Mondes Spa occupies a whole floor of the hotel, offering beauty treatments and traditional massage in this temple to wellness, which includes a hammam and sauna. Guests can also relax in the hotel’s outdoor and indoor pools, along with the only manmade sandy-bottom lagoon in Europe (seasonal). The hotel is part of the Monte-Carlo Societé des Bains de Mer, as is the iconic Hôtel de Paris, and guests enjoy free access to the Casino de Monte-Carlo. Preferential rates are also available at the Monte-Carlo Golf Club and Country Clube.
