Architectural Layout and Wing Geography
Following the 2019 comprehensive transformation, the room configurations of Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo were optimized from over 250 smaller rooms into approximately 209 exceptionally spacious keys, with over half designated as suites. Accommodations are distributed across three distinct wings: the historic Rotonde facing the Casino and Mediterranean, the central Alice Wing wrapping around the inner palm courtyard, and the Beaux-Arts Pavilion.
Every room is designed with an understated maritime elegance, marrying beige silk wall coverings, pale oak parquet, brushed brass hardware, and white Carrara or Calacatta marble bathrooms featuring soaking tubs, rainfall showers, and bespoke Guerlain toiletries.

The Crown Jewels: Diamond Penthouse Suites
The culmination of the hotel’s renovation was the creation of two singular rooftop duplexes that celebrate Monaco's beloved sovereign figures: Prince Rainier III and Princess Grace. Both penthouses offer private elevator access, personalized 24-hour butler coordination, private chauffeur transfers, and direct priority access to all SBM establishments.
1. Diamond Suite Princess Grace
Occupying the seventh and eighth floors of the hotel, the Princess Grace Suite spans 910 square meters across two levels (incorporating 470 m² of palatial interior living and 440 m² of outdoor terraces). The interior palette reflects Princess Grace's fondness for soft pastels, floral accents, and refined craftsmanship. Curated personal artifacts, original family photographs, and an extensive personal library provided by the Prince’s Palace adorn the salons. The expansive upper terrace features a heated infinity plunge pool, a private open-air dining pavilion, and unbroken views reaching from the Italian Riviera headlands to Cap-Martin.
2. Diamond Suite Prince Rainier III
Perched atop the hotel's roofline with a direct gaze over Place du Casino, the Prince Rainier III Suite measures 830 square meters, including a 350-square-meter private terrace. Designed with richer, masculine tones of dark mahogany, warm brass, and bespoke leatherwork, this suite pays tribute to the "Builder Prince" who shaped modern Monaco. A magnificent private counter-current swimming pool seems to spill over into the square below, offering guests the ultimate vantage point during the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix.
Trackside Vantage Point: During the annual Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix weekend, suites facing Place du Casino provide one of the most celebrated viewpoints in motorsport. Drivers brake heavily after the steep climb up Avenue de Monte-Carlo, negotiating the tight right-hand corner directly under the hotel's balconies before plunging down toward Mirabeau.
