Monaco Hotels Around Casino Square - Luxury Lodging in Monte-Carlo

Where to Stay Near Place du Casino

Place du Casino is Monte-Carlo's most famous square — a crescent of Belle Époque grandeur flanked by the Casino de Monte-Carlo, luxury boutiques, and some of Europe's most storied hotels. Staying here puts you at the centre of Monaco's social and cultural life.

Three flagship properties dominate the square, all operated or closely tied to the Société des Bains de Mer (SBM), the company founded by Prince Charles III in 1863 that still manages Monaco's casinos and many of its landmark venues.

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo

The most iconic address on the square. Built in 1863 alongside the Casino, the Hôtel de Paris completed a major renovation in 2019 that modernised its 209 rooms and suites while preserving its Belle Époque character.

• Dining: Le Louis XV–Alain Ducasse (3 Michelin stars), Le Grill (rooftop with retractable roof), and several bars
• Wellness: Thermes Marins spa with seawater therapy pools, connected to the hotel by an underground passage
• Rates: From approximately €500/night for a Superior room; Diamond Suites start at €3,000+
• Standout detail: The bronze horse statue in the lobby — rubbing its knee is considered a good-luck ritual before visiting the Casino

Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo

Set slightly back from the square in a quieter position, the Hermitage is an elegant Belle Époque palace with a stunning Gustave Eiffel-designed Winter Garden dome.

• Rooms: 278 rooms and suites with classical décor
• Dining: Le Vistamar (seafood-focused, one Michelin star), Crystal Bar
• Wellness: Access to Thermes Marins spa via heated underground walkway
• Rates: From approximately €400/night; suites from €1,200+

Fairmont Monte Carlo

Perched on a headland between the Casino and the sea, the Fairmont is the largest hotel in Monaco with over 590 rooms. Its modern design contrasts with the Belle Époque neighbours.

• Dining: Nobu Monte Carlo, Horizon rooftop restaurant/bar, Saphir24 bistro
• Wellness: Rooftop pool, fitness centre, spa
• Rates: From approximately €350/night; sea-view rooms from €500+
