Hotels Own Introduction

The Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is more than a hotel—it is a world unto itself, designed to awaken your senses, stir your emotions, and inspire your dreams. With architecture and decor that balance classical elegance and modern touches, the hotel exudes a warm Mediterranean charm that feels more like a private residence than a traditional luxury hotel.

Just nine months after its debut, Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac earned two Michelin stars, affirming its place among the culinary elite. Under the guidance of Executive Chef Christophe Cussac, guests are invited to savor a unique and convivial dining experience. In an intimate and refined setting envisioned by Jacques Garcia, the restaurant reimagines Mediterranean cuisine with simplicity, authenticity, and contemporary flair, offering a moment of true connection and indulgence.

The history of Les Ambassadeurs dates back to the 1920s, when it became a celebrated destination for French gastronomy, attracting a distinguished Monegasque and international clientele. Today, Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac pays homage to its legacy, presenting a modern interpretation of gourmet Mediterranean cuisine.

The hotel’s Odyssey concept is another highlight, featuring an extraordinary fresco-style glass installation encircling a heated seawater pool, depicting the legendary journey of Ulysses. This stunning centerpiece is complemented by beautifully landscaped gardens, a sophisticated lounge bar, and a terrace restaurant, creating a serene and stylish oasis in the heart of Monte-Carlo.
