Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo Honoured Among the World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025

Monaco – Another prestigious recognition for the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, which has been ranked among the World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025. The ceremony took place on Thursday, October 30, celebrating the fifty finest hotels around the globe and awarding Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo the 36th place. The third edition of the World’s 50 Best Hotels 2025 ceremony was held in London on the evening of Thursday, October 30. This annual event brings together leading professionals from the luxury hospitality and tourism industries to honour the world’s top fifty hotels.

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo earned a spot on this prestigious list, ranking 36th. Louis Starck, General Manager of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, attended the ceremony alongside Hotel Manager Vincent Chasseignaux. This distinction adds to the long list of accolades for the Monegasque palace, which has recently renewed its Three Michelin Keys and is regularly recognised for the excellence of its service and its exceptional offerings — including two Michelin-starred restaurants, access to the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, and of course, its proximity to the legendary Casino and Opéra de Monte-Carlo. The hotel’s exquisite Diamond Suites also offer guests a truly unparalleled stay.

“We are very happy and immensely proud to receive this award,” said Louis Starck, recently appointed General Manager of the hotel. “This distinction highlights the exceptional offering of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer in Monaco and of its iconic Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, a flagship of Monegasque hospitality. For over 160 years, the men and women of this legendary palace on Place du Casino have worked every day to create unforgettable moments for our guests.”

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the Jewel of Monegasque Hospitality Built in 1864, the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, with its Belle Époque architecture, is one of the jewels of the iconic Place du Casino. It was defined by François Blanc, founder of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, as “a hotel that surpasses everything that has been created so far.” 161 years later, that promise still holds true. The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo combines the art of haute gastronomy — with its Michelin-starred restaurants Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse**, featuring a majestically decorated dining room, and Le Grill (one star), offering a panoramic view — with the modern creativity of Cédric Grolet Monte-Carlo, whose boutique and tearoom opened in the heart of the patio last July. The hotel also features Em Sherif Monte-Carlo, where guests can experience the refinement and subtleties of Lebanese cuisine facing the Mediterranean
