The Fairmont Monte Carlo is a unique four–star luxury convention urban resort located in the heart of the Principality of Monaco in between the Mediterranean Sea and the legendary Casino of Monte-Carlo. It offers a unique view of the blue horizon, the famous Casino and one of the best views on the Formula 1 circuit, the Fairmont Hairpin. Spacious, modern and comfortable with private terraces, its 596 rooms and suites decline perfectly the Riviera style. Fairmont Monte Carlo is an icon revied as a social hub in the heart of Monaco redefining the luxury resort experience.

Renowned worldwide for the genius of Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, the Nobu Fairmont Monte Carlo restaurant offers its guests Japanese cuisine with a Peruvian influence. Horizon Rooftop boasts unbeatable views and delicious and local Mediterranean cuisine and non-stop service in a relaxing atmosphere, while Nikki Beach is the place to be to enjoy sunbathing, cocktails and exceptional flavors by the pool to the sound of the resident DJ. Lobby Lounge, restaurant & bar, open daily, is an invitation to taste innovative urban bistronomy that reinterprets classic recipes with modern flair in a relaxed setting.

Not to be missed, La Vallée Spa bathed by natural light, the modern Fitness Monte Carlo and Azur Pool. Located on the roof, Azur Pool offers a breathtaking experience that combines luxury, relaxation and breathtaking panoramas. The ideal place to immerse yourself in a haven of tranquility and beauty. And last but not least, the "Little Explorer" club open in July and August proposes a lot of activities at the hotel and in the area from Tuesday to Sunday.

The rooms are fairly small but space is a premium in Monte Carlo of course... Room was well appointed and modern... Need some ice in your room, that’s €10 please (the mini bar has no space for anything you might want to cool down) 2... Free mineral water in your room (as well as paid which is common around the world)...

...We were on the 3rd floor, and checked in to what sounded like jackhammers above our room... The noise started again at 730 am with workers dropping things on the floor above us, so we could not sleep in and enjoy the morning in our room... The hotel was not busy, and I feel like they could have easily moved us to a quieter room, so this stay was disappointing...

Do not stay at this hotel there are way better value hotels with better service.

...Our sea view room was of good size, but the décor was ancient. It looked like it was renovated for the last time somewhere in the 1980s, and it was absolutely not worth the price (we paid over EUR600 per night)... The good news is that the rooms are being refurbished and in the future the hotel will (hopefully) look more modern... So considering that, the ancient rooms and the issues with the front desk, we’d look elsewhere...

Value

Exorbitant

Travelers frequently complain about the hotel's exorbitant pricing, including high costs for amenities such as pool loungers and parking, and a lack of value for the price paid.

...It was not a pleasant experience, especially for the price we paid. We were charged an extra $55 after we check out, with no explanation or receipt... I received the charge notification on my bank statement... I will dispute that with my bank for sure, since I haven’t heard from anyone at the hotel... If you charge $500 for a basic room, I’d expect minimum comfort, which honestly we did not experience...

...I guess it’s one of those things you don’t want to tell potensial guests visiting in July.. anyway, Nikki Beach became our option, but all the sun beds (55€ per person) are booket several days in advance, so our only option was the 12 single sun beds located in the back corner of the terrace... We probably chose a bad time for visiting, but I still think you’ll find hotels in and nearby Monaco that will give the feeling of value for money, much more than we experienced at this stay...

...The rooms are fairly small but space is a premium in Monte Carlo of course... Need some ice in your room, that’s €10 please (the mini bar has no space for anything you might want to cool down) 2... Head to the pool to relax, firstly not possible in the afternoons as Nikki Beach cranks the volume up and secondly the hotel want you to be paying for a bed by the pool so don’t inconvenience them by being a guest… small area of sofas and a handful of loungers poked round the back of the bar is as good as it gets... Not a huge thing but I’d expect better service given the price... So definitely worth it for the hairpin view but either put the prices up and offer better service or make it clear when booking that’s the deal you’ll get particularly about the pool... Fortunately we enjoyed our 2 nights but any longer and I’d be down the pool in the harbour for a paid bed and more comfort!...

...And it really lacks the sophistication one usually expects from this brand... It looked like it was renovated for the last time somewhere in the 1980s, and it was absolutely not worth the price (we paid over EUR600 per night)... This hotel also charges a pretty penny for reserving loungers at the swimming pool, which is very stingy for a property at this price point... Lastly, this hotel offers valet parking, but the pricing is way too high... One can literally park for less than half of that price in the public parking lot a few hundred metres away... In conclusion, if we were to return to Monte Carlo, we would probably pick another hotel... Again, this isn’t your typical Fairmont – but it is priced as if it was... So considering that, the ancient rooms and the issues with the front desk, we’d look elsewhere...

...They informed us we needed to pay an additional 200 euros a night (preauthorised payment) on check in just in case we used anything from the mini bar or had any meals etc. I have never heard of anything like this and we have stayed in many 5* hotels all over the world and none of them ever wanted a deposit, let alone 200 euros a night and we had to pay this if we wanted to stay no matter how much we insisted against it... As guests to the fairmont, we were given free sunbeds at the back of the pool to use or given a sofa nearer to the pool which wasn't bad, however if you wanted to sit next to the pool you had to pay 180 euros for a bed and a bottle of wine/champagne (which you had to buy for the bed) which is extremely overpriced... I also booked this hotel thinking it was next to the beach and had its own private beach... However the beach is a 5 minute shuttle ride away and you have to pay for a bed (something like 75 euros for 2) and it's not the fairmont beach, and they will only shuttle you there if you have reserved a bed at this specific beach... Overall, a really nice stay but would expect more considering the price of a room for a night, including more free water/drinks and not having to pay extra to use the nice beds at the pool and to use the beach...

...To their credit they immediately moved me to a much quieter section but even then, I was still woken up by the noise. My friends in a different part of the hotel also reported drilling noise...

...We were put in a room with so much construction noise the room vibrated and when they went to move us it took over an hour waiting in the room to get moved (they kept on saying 5 min or else I would have gone for a walk)... There is an area hotel guests can lay out but it is right by the construction and the noise is so loud I couldn’t carry a conversation on with my husband and we had to leave despite is being a nice day, the hotel is outdated and you feel like you are on a cruise ship...

...); check in was fast and friendly; room available at 1pm... Quiet room, good bed, oversized shower... Warm welcome with some free bottles of bio fruit juices and lots of candy... Azur pool also busy but they got me sunbeds in 15’... Breakfast buffet at Horizon is 5* in both quality and choice... Check out was very fast (and thank you concierge for arranging us a cab to Nice airport on such a short notice)... Big shout out to the various staff; they are all between very friendly and extremely friendly and at all times very service minded...

...Nobu in the hotel was lovely and we enjoyed an evening meal there looking out to sea. Helpfully you can exit the hotel on the first or seventh level to save some steps / slope up to the Casino square... So all good so far… The part that lets this hotel down is the service and that everything has to be paid for… 1... Need some ice in your room, that’s €10 please (the mini bar has no space for anything you might want to cool down) 2... Free mineral water in your room (as well as paid which is common around the world)... Unless you get up there early it’s a time limited slot pre someone’s reservation starting at 1pm so good luck!... The bathroom amenities are refillable bottles on the wall which is fine - however most hadn’t been refilled and so we ran out!... Not a huge thing but I’d expect better service given the price...

They will treat you great at this hotel and you will get a 5-star treatment despite the hotel is officially 4 stars...

...We didn’t have any issues getting a ‘hotel guest’ lounger, but it was still relatively quiet and not always sunbathing weather, as it warms up I imagine there would be no loungers free and paying additional for Nikki beach beds daily would become an annoyance... The hotel put on an Easter egg hunt for families with children which was a lovely suprise and the staff in restraunts, poolside and concierge were all very helpful and welcoming...

...It was recently my 22nd birthday and the hotel had a bottle of bubbly and cake made for me on arrival which was a lovely touch (it was delicious!)... Upon arrival the hotel took a holding fee of 200€ per night which is balanced off at the end of your stay... All staff we spoke to at the hotel were very lovely and made our stay so much easier...

Truly a perfect and unparalleled level of service and friendliness... In addition to all of that, the staff is the best of the best!... We had several person situations and logistical issues having to do with our extended vacation, and the concierge staff went far above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of timely and seamlessly... We ended up staying two additional nights at the Fairmont and became members of the Fairmont club so we can book future stays at Fairmont locations... We will be telling all of our friends about this splendid venue and amazing staff...

...This hotel also charges a pretty penny for reserving loungers at the swimming pool, which is very stingy for a property at this price point. Breakfast was served at the top floor, with nice sea views... Service at the hotel was a complete hit-or-miss... The bellmen were friendly and efficient and quickly assisted us with our luggage when we arrived at the hotel... Housekeeping was also very thorough – and we were given a cake and a bottle of (good) champagne as gifts to celebrate our special occasion... The concierge was also efficient and knowledgeable... On the other hand, service at breakfast was very slow – our eggs and coffee always took forever to arrive... Lastly, this hotel offers valet parking, but the pricing is way too high... One can literally park for less than half of that price in the public parking lot a few hundred metres away...

Amenities

Abundant

Guests consistently praise the variety of amenities offered, but criticize high charges for certain services like pool loungers and parking. Breakfast received mixed reviews.

Superb hotel, great location. Large quiet room in a central location... Staff were fantastic in all areas - check in/out, restaurants, pool and room service... Considering this stay was during a very busy worldwide conference so occupancy would have been high all requests were dealt with incredibly quickly and always with good humour... The pool area was fun and not too crowded or loud and the food excellent...

We had high expectations of our stay at The Fairmont but it really exceeded in so many areas. The hotel itself is beautiful and the rooms are extremely clean, the beds and pillows are some of the most comfortable I’ve ever had!... We stayed in the Hairpin room and the views - oh my goodness we felt like movie stars as we stepped out onto the balcony!!... The breakfast is incredible and the sea views from the rooftop are stunning... We ate at Nobu which is so beautiful at night next to the sea, Nikki beach on the rooftop is also absolutely fantastic... The 7th floor gives you quick access to Casino and shops... All round we couldn’t wish for a better stay... Also if you fancy a walk to the harbour eat at Crazy Pizza - so delicious and get their car to bring you back - fabulous experience (you decide the tip!)...

...Fantastic one night stay post cruise at Fairmont Monte Carlo. Despite a hiccup with our early check in, the management really dealt with the matter very professionally and delivered a lovely ice cold bottle of Taittinger to our room - this was very much appreciated... Our hair pin bend room was absolutely lovely - very comfortable, good size, spotlessly clean and, wow, what a view from the balcony... Lovely afternoon at Nikki Beach with excellent food and wine... Breakfast this morning on the rooftop was faultless...

Stayed for 2 nights in a hairpin view room - great way to kill a few hours watching the world go by from our balcony morning and night!... Room was well appointed and modern... Nobu in the hotel was lovely and we enjoyed an evening meal there looking out to sea... Helpfully you can exit the hotel on the first or seventh level to save some steps / slope up to the Casino square... Need some ice in your room, that’s €10 please (the mini bar has no space for anything you might want to cool down) 2... Free mineral water in your room (as well as paid which is common around the world)... Head to the pool to relax, firstly not possible in the afternoons as Nikki Beach cranks the volume up and secondly the hotel want you to be paying for a bed by the pool so don’t inconvenience them by being a guest… small area of sofas and a handful of loungers poked round the back of the bar is as good as it gets... The bathroom amenities are refillable bottles on the wall which is fine - however most hadn’t been refilled and so we ran out!... So definitely worth it for the hairpin view but either put the prices up and offer better service or make it clear when booking that’s the deal you’ll get particularly about the pool... Fortunately we enjoyed our 2 nights but any longer and I’d be down the pool in the harbour for a paid bed and more comfort!...

...The location is fantastic, and the hotel is very nice, there was some improvement works going on in the corridors but it didn’t impact us too much, must be getting it ready for the F1 next month. The breakfast was lovely on the horizon restraunt, we didn’t eat lunch or dinner in the hotel other than at Nikki Beach one afternoon, which again was a very nice meal... We didn’t have any issues getting a ‘hotel guest’ lounger, but it was still relatively quiet and not always sunbathing weather, as it warms up I imagine there would be no loungers free and paying additional for Nikki beach beds daily would become an annoyance... We stayed in the hairpin double queen room which was very modern and had everything in it you would expect, the photos look more dated than the rooms actually are, a nice suprise... The hotel put on an Easter egg hunt for families with children which was a lovely suprise and the staff in restraunts, poolside and concierge were all very helpful and welcoming...

Lovely hotel in a central location. Very close to the casino and walking distance to the port, restaurants and the palace... Beautiful facilities, but like all things in Monaco more expensive than the uk... Breakfast was extensive but a bit overwhelming at times with many others residents in town...

...It's close to Monte Carlo Casino and next to Buddha Bar... You can see the hairpin curve from the gym pool on the top floor... There is also a taxi waiting, and there is a large parking lot, so it is very comfortable to use by car... Breakfast is a buffet, but there are many menus and you can be satisfied even if you eat it every day... It is also recommended because it is possible to eat breakfast on the terrace while taking in the morning sun...

...If you need help planning your stay to do not use the concierge it is better to google as they just give you a general list of recommendations and try to push the hotel Restaurants and bars. The area around the pool is reserved for Nikki beach club guests or you can pay over 200eueos plus purchase a bottle to lay by the pool (even when there are no guests there)...

...We were on a motoring trip through France and Italy so secure parking is a priority for us and we knew that The Fairmont regularly hosts car rallies so this would be possible. Expensive at 60 euros per night for secure parking but this is Monaco and space is expensive and it was certainly secure and well tended... The reception area was abuzz and our check in was handled efficiently and in a warm manner... We were at the back with limited view but the room was spacious, clean and comfortable... It had all that we needed (except milk for tea which was promptly brought to us) and much that we didn’t (crazy mini bar prices!)... We explored the hotel’s bars and restaurants but found that we preferred to go out and explore Monte Carlo on foot so only used our room to sleep... The bed was comfortable and the room was in good, clean, albeit dated condition...

...This hotel is some sort of crossover between a large US-style conference hotel and a swimming pool club for those who want to “see and be seen”... This hotel also charges a pretty penny for reserving loungers at the swimming pool, which is very stingy for a property at this price point... Breakfast was served at the top floor, with nice sea views... The buffet was decent, but worse than other Fairmonts around the world offer... Nothing was of particularly high quality but all the essentials were there: fruits, boulangerie items, made to order eggs, cheese and cold cuts, etc... The bellmen were friendly and efficient and quickly assisted us with our luggage when we arrived at the hotel... Housekeeping was also very thorough – and we were given a cake and a bottle of (good) champagne as gifts to celebrate our special occasion... The concierge was also efficient and knowledgeable...

...We had a garden view room and were offered a free upgrade to the sea view room however advised against it as right next to the building work so we did not take up the offer... They informed us we needed to pay an additional 200 euros a night (preauthorised payment) on check in just in case we used anything from the mini bar or had any meals etc... Room was big enough for us all with nespresso machine and tea... Had to ask for milk and was given it on the 2nd night... Lots of selection and we really enjoyed it... Hotel have a lovely bottle of champagne and cake for a birthday celebration... The pool was nice, but the view of the building work isn't good... As guests to the fairmont, we were given free sunbeds at the back of the pool to use or given a sofa nearer to the pool which wasn't bad, however if you wanted to sit next to the pool you had to pay 180 euros for a bed and a bottle of wine/champagne (which you had to buy for the bed) which is extremely overpriced... You can use the beach for free at the public beach right next to the private beach... Great location and perfect for a view of the F1 track, just a shame the F1 was not on!... Overall, a really nice stay but would expect more considering the price of a room for a night, including more free water/drinks and not having to pay extra to use the nice beds at the pool and to use the beach...
