The Monte-Carlo Beach

Monaco’s seaside art deco gem
VERIFIED LUXURY
Located at the edge of the seacoast border of Monaco — technically Roquebrune, France — this elegant spacious resort is perhaps the most isolated property of the SBM-run hotels, but that's also part of its singular 1930s charm.

The sprawling landmark hotel recalls the glory days of Monte Carlo, when the pool area was full of glitterati and high-society notables, including Elsa Maxwell, the American gossip columnist and larger-than-life party hostess who helped launch the property in 1929.

The unmitigated glamour lingers on, beginning with the sheer beauty of the natural landscape — it’s all about dreamy sea views on a private wooded mini-peninsula, far from the buzzy Casino Square (inveterate shoppers and high rollers needn’t worry; the free shuttle bus gets you back and forth to the boutiques and the casino in 10 minutes).

Relaxation and well-being are the name of the game here. Indulge in an energizing massage at the spa, and tablehop among the four superb restaurants, each with its own distinctive and original fresh cuisine.
