About the Resort
The Formula 1 and lifestyle Monte Carlo hotel
The Fairmont Monte Carlo is the Formula 1 and lifestyle hotel of Monte Carlo — Monaco's largest hotel, built out over the sea, with a corner that is Formula 1's most famous: the Fairmont Hairpin, the Grand Prix's tightest turn, with front-row race-weekend views from its balconies and roof. Around six hundred terraced rooms of about thirty-five square metres look over the sea, the gardens or the circuit, a year-round heated rooftop pool crowns it alongside the seasonal Nikki Beach and the 360-degree Amu rooftop restaurant, and Nobu brings its Japanese-Peruvian draw from Nobu Matsuhisa. The Fairmont Spa runs eight treatment rooms and couples' suites over the Hairpin, and a summer kids' club and generous event spaces make it as much a family and business base as a glamorous one. The location is central Monte Carlo: the Casino of Monte Carlo and the Opera stand next door, the yachts of Port Hercule and Larvotto beach are close, and Nice, Cannes and the Italian border are easy day trips along the coast. It is the lively, larger Riviera base — and note, this sits in Monaco, a separate state on the French Riviera. Between race weekends, the days run from the rooftop pool to the Casino square, the yachts of Port Hercule and the Larvotto beaches, with the principality's gardens and the Oceanographic Museum close by.

“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Fairmont Monte Carlo. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel
The Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat is a French Riviera legend since 1908 — a Four Seasons palace at the tip of the Cap-Ferrat peninsula, in 7 hectares of Mediterranean gardens between Nice and Monaco, once a haunt of Churchill, Chaplin and Picasso. Its signature is the Club Dauphin, an Olympic-sized heated seawater infinity pool reached by a private funicular down to the sea. The original 1908 Heritage Building carries a Rotunda built by Gustave Eiffel, Michelin-starred Le Cap crowns the dining, and an award-winning sea-view spa, two tennis courts and a kids' club round it out, with some suites taking private pools. The Riviera icon between Nice and Monaco — its seawater pool at its best in the warmer months.
France
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc
Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc is a Riviera legend since 1870 — an Oetker palace at the tip of Cap d'Antibes, the haunt of F. Scott Fitzgerald and, every May, the Cannes Film Festival set. Its mythical heated seawater infinity pool was carved into the rock in 1914, blending into the Mediterranean with diving boards and ringed by some 31 cliffside cabanas. Michelin-starred Louroc dines over the sea, the 9-hectare cape park holds a 100-year-old Rose Garden, and a private pontoon launches yachting to Cannes and the Lérins islands. Across 111 keys and private villas, with the Dior Spa Eden-Roc and five clay tennis courts, it is the Riviera at its most storied — seasonal, at its best in the warmer months.
France
Le Bristol Paris
Le Bristol Paris is the grand Paris Palace hotel — the first hotel in France ever to receive the official "Palace" distinction, an Oetker Collection address family-owned since 1925 on Faubourg Saint-Honoré. It holds four Michelin stars across two restaurants, Epicure at three and 114 Faubourg at one, and crowns itself with a rooftop pool framing Montmartre and the Eiffel Tower. A 13,000-square-foot courtyard garden, one of the largest hotel gardens in Paris, brings green calm; Spa Le Bristol by La Mer brings wellness; and around 188 Louis XV and XVI rooms sit steps from the Élysée, Champs-Élysées and Louvre. Paris at its grandest, with a free kids' club for families.
