The Riviera
Monaco
Monaco, from Casino Square to the coast.
Five distinct stays across the principality and its neighbouring French coastline, from grand hotels to a quiet cliffside retreat.
Monaco is small enough to cross in an afternoon, yet the steep streets give each address a different outlook. Hôtel de Paris is on Place du Casino; Hôtel Hermitage looks toward the port with a calmer air; Hôtel Métropole sits just off the square.
For a seaside stay, cross the French border to Monte-Carlo Beach in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. The Maybourne Riviera sits higher above the same coast, looking toward Monaco. Both are outside the principality, so allow for a short transfer to Casino Square. Choose the square for easy evenings, or the coast for sea views and more space.
