An enchanting location between the sea and the Place du Casino, outstanding service, amazing wine-cellars... There are some truly exceptional palaces - the type of which legends are made. The Hôtel de Paris is one of them. Built in 1864 using the very best materials of the period, in this new millennium the Hôtel de Paris continues to symbolise the same fine art of hospitality.

187 rooms, 75 suites and junior suites and one presidential suite. 3 restaurants : the Louis XV-Alain Ducasse, Le Grill, Le Côté Jardin. One grand function room : La Salle Empire. American Bar with a musical feel. Direct access to Les Thermes Marins seawater spa (swimming pool, aquafitness, hammam, sauna, relaxation...). Hair salon, travel agency, luxury shopping. 7 comfortable and elegant lounges with secretarial services, technical and audiovisual facilities by request.

Le Grill de l'Hôtel de Paris In the flood of publicity awarded to this hotel's street-level restaurant, Le Louis XV , it's been easy to overlook the equally elegant contender on the rooftop. The view alone is worth the expense, with the turrets of the fabled casino on one side and the yacht-clogged harbor of Old Monaco on the other. The decor is gracefully modern, with an ambience somewhat less intense than that in the self-consciously cutting-edge Ducasse citadel downstairs. Despite that, the place is undeniably elegant, with a two-fisted approach to cuisine that includes every imaginable sort of grilled fish (sea wolf, monkfish, sole, salmon, mullet, cod, or turbot) and meat such as Charolais beef and roasted lamb from the foothills of the nearby Alps. In fair weather and in summer, the ceiling opens to reveal the starry sky. The fine cuisine is backed up by one of the Riviera's finest wine lists, with some 600,000 bottles; the wine cellar is carved out of the rock below. Service is faultless but never intimidating or off-putting.
