MONTE CARLO BEACH *****Chic and timeless, since it opened in the 1930s, the Monte Carlo Beach has perpetuated elegance and the art of receiving. Decked out in “Riviera red” the Hotel is a veritable ode to the Mediterranean reflected in its refurbished rooms and suites where the large portholes between the bedroom and bathroom are a source of light and depth. On the ground floor, the private staircases linking the loggias to the promenade give the rooms a feeling of bungalows on the waterfront. The restaurant “Elsa” and its terrace overlooking the sea are the perfect setting to enjoy the tasty cuisine and the serenity in the midst of a decor featuring Alep pine trees, bearing the signature of the landscape gardener Jean Mus... An absolute delight.
