BELOVED by ultra-famous guests including Paul McCartney, Queen Elizabeth and Clint Eastwood to mention only a few, Hôtel Métropole has been the go-to destination for high society in Monte Carlo since its opening in 1886.
The hotel has existed in its current manifestation, Hôtel Métropole Monte Carlo, since 2004 and has recently undergone its latest transformation, part of which includes the all new Spa Métropole by Guerlain – a collaboration with the renowned French skincare house.
Treatments offered include exclusive Guerlain creations such as the black orchid facial with antioxidant, hydrating, and anti-aging properties and the royal honey repair & renew which encourages cellular renewal and vitality in the skin.
Reception
The spa also boasts a pedi-manicure studio designed by celebrity pedicurist Bastien Gonzalez, known as being the pedicurist to the stars. Bastien’s menu is based on his decades of experience and features his own custom-made product line plus all practitioners of his treatments are personally selected and trained by him.
Designed by interior architect Samy Itani of Itani & Courtois, the spa is a beautiful tale of legacy and continuity as Itani has previously worked alongside Didier Gomez, designer of the hotel’s previous spa. The new aesthetic is one of organic mineral tones with stone, unpolished wood and textured finishes giving a sensory, natural feel.
Lounge and boutique
Double Suite
Elsewhere in the hotel 45 new rooms and suites will be unveiled this September. Designed by Jacques Garcia – who designed the hotel’s interiors when the hotel was reimagined and reborn in 2004. The new rooms and suites carry their own distinct signature and whisper the warmth, colours and textures of the Mediterranean.
