Belle Époque palace hotel with intimate atmosphere, overlooking the Mediterranean. Features Michelin-starred Pavyllon restaurant by Yannick Alléno, Winter Garden with stunning dome, Thermes Marins spa, and elegant rooms mixing modern luxury with period elegance.
Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo stands on Square Beaumarchais, half a block from Casino Square and within a few minutes' walk of the Monte-Carlo Opera. It sits within the Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) portfolio alongside Hotel de Paris, and guests benefit from shared access privileges across both properties. Port Hercules is a 10-minute walk downhill, and the hotel's position on Monaco's golden mile places the principal luxury shopping streets, gaming facilities, and cultural venues within easy reach on foot.
The hotel opened at the turn of the 20th century as a Belle Époque retreat for Europe's wealthiest visitors. Its most distinctive architectural feature is the Winter Garden, a glass-and-iron domed atrium attributed to Gustave Eiffel's workshop, which functions as a light-filled lounge and tearoom. The exterior retains original ornamental stonework, while interior renovations have layered contemporary luxury onto the historic shell.
The 280 rooms and suites range from Superior Rooms with interior or partial views to Grand Suites with wraparound sea terraces overlooking the Mediterranean. Interiors combine warm period-influenced palettes with marble bathrooms and modern in-room systems including high-speed connectivity and climate control.
Dining is led by Pavyllon Monte-Carlo, the Michelin-starred expression of chef Yannick Alléno's Counter format, where guests dine alongside an open kitchen. The Limun bar offers cocktails and lighter fare on a garden terrace.
The hotel provides full access to Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, the group's dedicated thalassotherapy and wellness facility, which includes sea-water pools, thalassotherapy treatment circuits, and a comprehensive spa and fitness menu. Guests may also use the SBM group's private beach club on the Larvotto waterfront.
Service operates at full palace level with multilingual concierge staff handling yacht reservations, private dining arrangements, Grand Prix hospitality, and cultural event access across the principality.

- Suites on the upper floors of the sea-facing wing offer the best Mediterranean panoramas; specify a high floor at booking rather than relying on an upgrade at check-in
