Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo was built in 1864 on Place du Casino to promote the new resort of Monte-Carlo across Europe, and it still anchors the square beside the Casino and the Opéra. The Salle Empire, classified as a historical monument, remains one of its great rooms. Accommodation is split between patio, city, harbour, casino and sea views, up to Diamond suites with large terraces. It suits travellers who want a classic grand-hotel address in the centre of Monte-Carlo, with the casino, harbour and fine dining on the doorstep.

Editorial assessmentHôtel de Paris is Sikovia's Monaco palace on the Riviera: in the middle of Monte-Carlo, where The Maybourne Riviera looks at Monaco from Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat and La Réserve de Beaulieu sit in quieter bays. Choose it for the casino, harbour and a grand urban hotel.
