THE PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO

MONACO KEY FIGURES

• An area of 2.2 km2 with 3km of coastline, the second smallest country in the world

• A difference of 165m between the sea level and the highest point of the Principality

• A population of 32,000 inhabitants totalizing 125 nationalities

• An average temperature of 20 °C all year round

• 16 museums and monuments and 8 parks to stroll around

• Cultural and sporting events each week

• More than 40,000 people working every day in the Principality within

5,000 companies including major international firms

• An attractive economic destination

The Principality of Monaco is situated on the French Riviera, between France and Italy. The state has enjoyed a strong

heritage ever since it became an international attraction, following the rule of Prince Charles III in 1860.

The privately owned Hotel Metropole first welcomed guests in 1886 and had been quickly renowned as one of the most

glamourous place of Monte-Carlo.

Spring and Summer are the busiest months in Monaco gathering all types of events such as galas, multi-national

popstar concerts, performances of the Ballets de Monte-Carlo, international festivals, art exhibitions etc.

Monaco’s pinnacle season is undoubtedly May with the Formula 1 Grand Prix taking place each year which has

definitely become a not-to be missed event. The Grand Prix attracts thousands of visitors and has definitely become the

major event of the Principality. The Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is lucky to have a very good location offering a clear

view on the race from the terraces of the Michelin-starred restaurants and the balconies etc.

The Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is located in the Golden Square of the Principality in close proximity to the luxurious

amenities of Monaco, just a few steps away from the Casino, the luxury boutiques and beautiful gardens. A few meters

away from the sea and not far at all from the snowy mountains, Monaco suits all types of activities.

ONCE UPON A TIME, THE METROPOLE DATING BACK TO 1889 AND EXPERIENCING EVER SINCE A LONG SEQUENCE OF WONDERFUL DAYS AND BALMY NIGHTS.

It came into being in the euphoria and prosperity of the

"Belle Époque", towards the end of the 19th century. Before

being acquired in 1886 by the Monte-Carlo Hotel Company

Ltd., the land on which the first version of the Hotel

Metropole Monte-Carlo was built once belonged to Pope

Leon XIII. So much for the birth certificate of one of the

flagships of the hotel scene in the Principality. American

novelist Edith Warton may have had it in mind when she

wrote "The House of Mirth", published in 1905, with one part

set in Monte-Carlo. She paints a picture of a Garden of Eden,

dazzling architectural luxuriance and tropical gardens, all

“standing out against the mauve mountains, which provided

a magnificent backcloth…”. Nostalgic signs of the beautiful

setting of which the Metropole has continued to offer an

emblematic representation ever since it opened, with its

landscaped gardens and a façade in patrician palace style,

flaunting the flamboyant neo-classic taste typical of

residences built in the "Belle Époque".

A silky bubble of enchantment

Right from the start, the hotel attracted an international elite,

businessmen and great names belonging to the aristocracy.

The era dedicated itself to the pleasures of refined

vacationing, for which the Metropole became one of the

most highly-prized addresses on the Côte d’Azur. Almost a

century passed by, until the 1980's. A real fan of Monaco,

Lebanese developer Nabil Boustany acquired the Metropole

and undertook a major operation to restore its former

brilliance. Re-named the Metropole Palace, it pursued its

goal of velvety luxury, warmth and hospitality. A silky bubble

of enchantment, a place of meditation sheltered from

agitation though right at the heart of town, the address drew

ever wider attention for its fundamental values. An

exceptional approach, today more than ever its own, thanks

to a second complete restoration of the hotel. Work began in

the autumn of 2003 and the hotel emerged from its chrysalis

in the summer of 2004; the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo,

the official name of the new 5-star establishment which

then opened its doors on the site. Here, a new concept of

prestige hotelry unfurled its wings, in exemplary softness

and serenity. An exceptional voyage to the heart of Monaco

and the pinnacle of luxury…

HISTORY OF THE METROPOLE

THE HOTEL METROPOLE MONTE-CARLO

In 2003, the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo selected leading names in the fields of design, gastronomy and

well-being to open a new chapter to the hotel.

A DREAM TEAM…

Internationally renowned architectural and interior designer, Jacques Garcia,

was selected to recreate the interiors and the exterior landscape of the Hotel

Metropole Monte-Carlo as part of the property’s multi-million pound

renovation plan.

Garcia, who has redesigned hotels in Paris, Geneva, New York, Beirut and

Marrakech, has also transformed the 126-room hotel from an old world luxury

property typical of Monte-Carlo, into a hipper, more contemporary location

unlike any other in the Principality.

Jacques Garcia adapted his “Signature Designs” to produce a warm,

Mediterranean interior for the Metropole.

Jacques GARCIA, Interior Architect

Jacques Messin, a Parisian Garden Designer, has worked in the botanical

industry for over twenty years. His wealth of knowledge was created through

several years of higher education; beginning at the School of Architecture,

moving onto the Institute of Political Studies, and finally the University of

Paris.

Messin uses the three major tools of landscaping perfectly; the pen, the spade

and the secateurs. In his career he has worked on the Parisian terraces,

France’s private gardens as well as gardens of prestigious castles.

Jacques MESSIN, Landscaper

Didier GOMEZ, Interior Designer

Didier Gomez designed Yoshi, the hotel’s Japanese restaurant by Joël

Robuchon. His previous work included the decor of Asian inspired restaurants,

"The Mood" in Paris, as well as his collaborations with prestigious brands such

as LVMH, Vivendi, Ferragamo, Céline, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Yves Saint Laurent

and Armani.

In 2008, Yoshi opened at the Hotel Metropole. The dining room opens onto a

Japanese inspired garden designed by Jacques Messin. The landscaper worked

closely with Didier Gomez to create a real transitional space between the

interior and exterior of the restaurant, creating harmony with the surrounding

environment.

Joël Robuchon, the world’s most Michelin-starred chef, was born in 1945 in Poitiers, France.

Following his extensive studying and research in the culinary field, he has been rewarded

with several awards, such as the "Chef of the Century" by Gault Millau and the "Best

Restaurant in the World" by the International Herald Tribune.

As a teacher and innovator, Joël Robuchon has constantly created iconic recipes for the

public. A true musician to the heart, Joël Robuchon considers his cuisine like music, an

authentic art that includes technique and rigour.

In 2004 he developed with Christophe Cussac and his team a special original and innovative

concept for the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo. With his vast experience in Mediterranean

cuisine, the two chefs collaborate to create menus highlighting classic dishes blended with

contemporary flavours and Mediterranean styles.

Joël ROBUCHON,

Chef and Creator of the restaurant concepts

Christophe Cussac is Joël Robuchon’s protégé. He has worked along his side in several well-

established and famous properties before running the Cussac‘s family hotel in French

Burgundy.

Later, Cussac heads to the south and becomes Chef at La Réserve Hotel in Beaulieu-sur-Mer

(French Riviera) from 1997 to 2004 where he was rewarded with two Michelin stars.

In 2004, Christophe Cussac joins the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo for the reopening where

he supervises all the restaurants of the property. Chef Cussac is thrilled to be part of this

wonderful adventure with Joël Robuchon and as pure visionaries they imagine tomorrow's

gastronomy by getting their inspiration from their experience and clients’ feedback.

A UNIQUE GASTRONOMIC DESTINATION

THE HOTEL METROPOLE MONTE-CARLO IS A UNIQUE

GASTRONOMIC DESTINATION WITH 4 RESTAURANTS MANAGED

BY JOËL ROBUCHON AND CHRISTOPHE CUSSAC

RESTAURANT JOËL ROBUCHON MONTE-CARLO**

At Joël Robuchon's 2-star restaurant, the refined and very

comfortable setting provides an unostentatious décor for

warm, attentive service. Here, everyone’s attention is focused

on the dishes, in which everything revolves around

outstanding ingredients.

While the chef's cuisine is very well-suited to the warm

Mediterranean ambiance created by interior architect Jacques

Garcia, it is hard to pinpoint exactly what it is that gives rise to

this delightful feeling of conviviality: the fact that it opens out

to the sea? The sumptuous Gobelins tapestry? The velvety

armchairs? The warmth of a parquet floor made of exotic

wood? The simplicity of a relaxed but irreproachable welcome?

One's gaze is already drawn elsewhere, fascinated by the

spectacle of the open kitchen and "tepanyaki" where

Christophe Cussac, Executive Chef of the Kitchens, and his team

are busily and deftly performing a subtly orchestrated

choreography. This is a hallowed moment, and guests have

their own role to play. For Joël Robuchon, sharing and making

people happy is all about transparency.

Refined cuisine, healthy and simple

With a fondness for the Mediterranean, the menu promises a

Garden of Eden which you are invited to discover by the staff,

well-versed in discreet attentiveness and helpful advice. The

menu is easy to read, the ingredients are immediately

identifiable. The unrivalled master of precise cooking and

seasoning focuses on essentials, giving priority to flavours and

textures, combining healthiness with tastiness.

You opt for crayfish presented in a crisp wrapping with basil,

quail which arrives caramelized and stuffed with "foie gras",

accompanied by potato purée with truffle. Curiosity impels you

to investigate the extensive choice of dishes in small sampling

portions. The head wine waiter, Frédéric Woelffle, meets all

your desires. You must leave room for homemade bread and

the dessert trolley. And plan your return...

YOSHI* - THE UNIQUE JAPANESE- STYLE RESTAURANT,

SIGNED JOËL ROBUCHON

When Joël Robuchon wanted to share his poetic, contemporary vision

of Japanese cuisine here in France, he decided to open his restaurant

at the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo. Unique worldwide, it was

awarded a Michelin star in 2010.

“Proposing the exceptional in all simplicity is undoubtedly the most

challenging task," says Joël Robuchon. “In Monaco, we are fortunate

in having a discerning clientele in search of natural simplicity, and

Yoshi's success is this quest for naturalness.” Here, the chic and sobre

decor designed by French interior architect Didier Gomez blends the

preciousness of ebony, stone and silk with wonderful light in hues of

green, white and ivory. Large enough for about 40 privileged guests,

the restaurant opens out to a garden of Japanese inspiration, a

protective screen of greenery designed by landscaper Jacques Messin.

And the menu is in perfect osmosis with this light, serene ambiance.

Divine goodness*

With the complicity of Japanese chef Takéo Yamazaki - one of his

most loyal collaborators -, Joël Robuchon took on the challenge of

treating Yoshi to healthy, modern cuisine, typically Japanese but

carefully adapted to the Western palate. Based on this concept, their

collaboration was crowned 15 months after the opening by a star in

the Michelin Guide. The open kitchen and sushi bar ensure

transparency. Sushi, maki and sashimi, teppan-yaki meat and fish

compete for freshness, and guests taste here the best saké and

Japanese green teas. Yoshi? People come out of curiosity, are won

over by quality, and return for sheer enjoyment!

*Yoshi means "goodness" in Japanese.

THE LOBBY BAR

Glamorous, elegant, warm and sensual, the Lobby Bar is the

perfect setting for all kinds of gourmet treats. Time slips by in

peace and quiet, far from the bustle of the outside world,

while enjoying a coffee, tea-time, an aperitif, a break for lunch

or a romantic dinner for two.

This is the beating heart of the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo,

where regulars cross the path of newly arrived guests, families

and businessmen, in a quiet, harmonious ballet. The Lobby

Bar's poetic character, re-invented by architect/designer Jacques

Garcia, encourages you to enjoy this delectable moment, in all

privacy, or with frienfs family or friends. You cannot help but

feel enchanted by these constantly changing ambiances,

enhanced by artistic floral compositions reflecting the seasons,

the warmth of ancient works of art. Nowhere else more than

here has the “magician of atmospheres” succeeded in creating

such propitious conditions for an awakening of the senses...

Background music signed Béatrice Ardisson accompanies each

moment of gourmet enjoyment: the discovery of rare and

precious alcohols, or personalized cocktails proposed by the

head barman, Michaël Bellec; the arrival of the pastry trolley

with its luscious macaroons, tasty lemon tarts, candied fruit

cake at tea-time; the certainty of being in just the right place

while relishing “Vitello Tonnato with aromatic herbs”,

“Carpaccio of beef with virgin olive-oil” or a simple “Club

sandwich with chicken or smoked salmon, garnished with

bacon”. Just like the pastries, these dishes are from the kitchens

of the Joël Robuchon Monte-Carlo restaurant with its two

Michelin stars.

ODYSSEY, STUNNING DUO

JOËL ROBUCHON & KARL LAGERFELD

ODYSSEY SUMMER

In an "Haute Couture" setting imagined and designed by Karl

Lagerfeld, Joël Robuchon's third restaurant plays the ace of

freshness and lightness.

Happy he who, like Ulysse, embarked upon a long voyage... and

discovered the Odyssey! A beneficial port-of-call, a source of

new energy, where time stands still. A pool, terrace, gardens,

pool-house: the various areas entwine their curves, the different

elements melt into each other around the heated sea-water pool

in a great splash of light conceived by designer, couturier and

photographer, Karl Lagerfeld. With the fascinating photographic

fresco on glass screens dedicated to the Greek hero's adventures,

reality outdoes the myth in an epic version revisited by the artist.

A unique experience, exclusive to the Hotel Metropole Monte-

Carlo, reserved during the day for hotel residents and "Odyssey"

members of the SPA.

A place which dresses and undresses, depending on the season.

Covered in winter, it opens up to the sky in spring. Its walls move

aside, its horizon widens. The restaurant area around the pool

makes way for comfy sun-loungers, moving out to the coolness

of the terrace under the protective shade of large white sails. The

characters in the fresco, fixed for eternity, initiate the festivities.

Joël Robuchon has dreamt up tasty Mediterranean cuisine for his

guests, light and savoury dishes which will be appreciated by

adepts of the SPA's sport and well-being programme. In

summertime dining beneath the stars is a truly exceptional

experience.

ROOMS & SUITES

At the Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo, the 126 rooms and suites all

demonstrate the art of hosting dreams and intimacy in a flourish

of comfort and refinement…

Thanks to his expertise in decoration, designer Jacques Garcia

has given brilliant illustrations of his talent in the most

renowned international hotels. For the Hotel Metropole Monte-

Carlo, he composed the most harmonious example of chamber

music, endowing the hotel with a score blending warmth and

luxury in chic but cosy tones. A kind of magic formula, whose

wonderful effects are felt in all the 126 guest rooms, all

categories combined.

Decorated in Mediterranean style, they seem to have stepped

out of a scene in a noble residence. Headboards shaped as if

with a scroll saw, the most refined fabrics selected from a

palette of glowing and shimmering hues, wood with a patina of

honey-coloured varnish… The charm of these finely-wrought

interiors casts its most delicate spell.

Space and comfort

The most dominant feature in the decor gives priority to light

and a feeling of refined comfort. Against this backcloth, the 64

suites come with separate sitting-rooms and a balcony for the

bedroom. The notion of space is thus magnified, maximized, to

attain a surface area of 240 m2 in the Suite Carré d’Or, the largest

in the hotel. As for the bathrooms, they play an important part

in the overall layout. In white Carrara marble, with massage jet

showers, large bathtubs and double hand-basins, they fit

beautifully into the luxurious atmosphere that reigns in all the

Metropole's rooms and suites.

LUXURY & EXQUISITE PLEASURE

LA SUITE CARRÉ D’OR

THE ULTIMATE LUXURY

The "nec plus ultra" in terms of luxury and glamour. The

Metropole Monte-Carlo opens the doors to its sumptuous

penthouse : the Suite Carré d’Or.

On the top floor of the hotel, it is rather like a royal crown

adding a final majestic touch to the Metropole, its highest peak

of excellence. Welcome to the Suite Carré d’Or and its apartments

for an unprecedented experience of hotel luxury. Here,

everything can be described as exceptional. In its 240 square

metres, the Suite and its terrace demonstrate exemplary balance

between exquisite taste and indoor/outdoor refinement,

orchestrated in all its sumptuousness and the tiniest detail by

Jacques Garcia, the famous architect-decorator who restored the

Metropole's letters of nobility during its renovation. On entering

the suite, one's first striking impression is the extraordinary 180°

view from the terrace of Monte-Carlo and its "Golden Square"

with its "Belle Époque" casino, its gardens and the sea to

infinity.

A spectrum of glowing hues

Inside, just as ravishing, the chic of the entire Suite with an

"haute couture" atmosphere, the spectrum of light hues for its

decor with an ivory patina, honey-coloured parquet floors and

woodwork, Louis XVI furniture, a bookcase with an enticing

collection of original works... Here, between tradition and

modernity, dotted with artworks, the entire space has been

sculpted and adorned to become a ripple of delectation, subtle

and soft. Comprised of a prestigious master bedroom which

opens out to a dressing-room with a coiffeuse and a vast

bathroom with a tub and massage jet shower, the entire

penthouse floor can be fully privatized offering a perfect

combination to accommodate friends or family members in all

privacy, for get-togethers in the lap of luxury! It also grants the

privilege of private access to the Metropole's pool in the Espace

Odyssey, decorated by Karl Lagerfeld. With style and

incomparable flair, the Suite Carré d’Or invites you to bask in

bliss!

Soft lighting, a velvety ambiance… As soon as one steps inside

the spa, it is almost like a caress, an invitation to enjoy a voyage

for the senses in a setting propitious for tranquillity, ideal for

replenishing one's innermost energy.

Orchestrated by Jacques Garcia, the designer responsible for the

property's metamorphosis in 2004, the spa's decor conveys a

silky impression of warmth and elegance throughout its 2,000

sq. metres. One basks in a protective cocoon, in which a team of

ten treatment rooms. It also proposes a stimulating and original

concept, the Heat Experience, which alternates a hammam,

sauna and caldarium with tropical showers and a fountain of

refreshing crushed ice. Nothing like it for boosting one's energy!

PEDI:MANI:CURE STUDIO BY BASTIEN GONZALEZ

The internationally renowned podiatrist Bastien Gonzalez proposes exclusive treatments in Monaco performed by talented

studio manager Christophe Champs.

Bastien Gonzalez, foot specialist to the stars, is famous worldwide for his

glamorous and unique approach to foot treatments.

Bastien Gonzalez started skiing at a young age but got seriously injured

during a racing competition. Consequently, he spent six months in

physiotherapy, where he met a podiatrist. Then, he realized that he had

discovered his vocation and moved to Paris to start his three-years

Podiatry training.

The passion for his profession has brought him to the highest levels of

perfection in terms of quality, innovation and « savoir-faire » and has

earned him the privileged status of «foot Virtuoso».

The uniqueness of his concept lies in the fusion of well-being and

beauty. His treatment protocols are focused on the nails. Firstly on their

integrity thanks to medically designed protocols; then, their shine

following a buffing technique passed down to him by his grand-

mother… Surprising and natural!

The other secret of these unparalleled treatments is their relaxing aspect

of a genuine massage: whether during a pedicure or a manicure, a

massage relieves any tensions from toes up to the legs or from fingertips

up to the arms.

Révérence de Bastien are the result of a professional collaboration

between French cosmetology specialists and Bastien Gonzalez. The

products translate the “savoir-faire” through innovative formulas:

The result

• Efficient formulas including natural ingredients and essential oils

• Ideal textures to enhance pleasure of touching

• Olfactory identities developed to create a delicate and refined

sensorial universe

and new ideas. Since August 2010, the Hotel Metropole

Monte-Carlo has chosen to participate to the Green-

Responsibility Chart of the Young Economic Chamber of

Monaco. For instance, the Metropole follows the path of

H.R.H Prince Albert II of Monaco by choosing not to serve

red tuna (endangered marine species) in the restaurants.

Since 2012, our postage is now mainly sent using green

stamps meaning that the letter is delivered in 48 hours and

not transported by aircraft leading to a major decrease of

gas emissions.

Towards our collaborators…

Upon arrival, each new collaborator is given a booklet

explaining all the green gestures defined by job. During

their induction day, each employee is given a training

about the environmental policy of the Hotel that they are

expected to apply and respect on a daily basis. GREEN is

everywhere, displays, information send through email,

follow-up of the green events in Monaco. A suggestion box

and a Green Comity have been established to allow

everyone to participate in the improvement of our actions.

Towards our clients…

We favour electronic communications with our clients:

enewsletters, ecards, eflyers, ebrochures etc.

The introduction of the “Act Green” in the rooms suggests

our guests to reduce the laundry frequency as they wish.

This action enables to save water and cleaning products.

Our restaurants are also committed to serve local and

seasonal products and when possible organic agriculture.

Our guests also have access to the Chic Green Traveller Chart

as well as Green Activities programme available in Monaco.

Towards our suppliers…

A Green Chart is sent to our main suppliers and sub-

contractors. Each service of the hotel strives to select the

local suppliers.

Reducing energy consumption…

Each month we carefully study our energy consumption.

Each year we invest in technical equipment and

installations: motion captors in back-office areas, internal

and external LED lighting etc. On a regular basis, internal

audits are carried out and each year the Hotel participates

to the Earth Hour event.

Reducing water consumption…

We have a monthly follow-up of our water consumption.

The property has invested in technical equipment and

installations: touchless faucet, double flushing toilet etc.

Waste Management

Optimised management of stocks and raw materials.

Selective waste sorting: paper, glass, cardboard, batteries,

corks, used-tonner, cooking oil… Recycling bin in offices,

cafeteria and resting area. Bottle and can crusher. Training

sessions for the staff in association with the Monaco

Sanitation Company to improve our waste management.
