The Spa Métropole by Guerlain: The Art of Wellness in Monte-Carlo

This summer marked the dawn of a new chapter in the Principality’s wellness scene as the iconic Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo unveiled its brand-new sanctuary: The Spa Métropole by Guerlain.

The collaboration between the Riviera’s celebrated palace and the legendary French beauty house brings together two worlds of excellence in a serene retreat devoted to well-being, refinement, and the art of living.

Founded in 1828, Guerlain has been at the forefront of beauty innovation for nearly 200 years. Its Parisian heritage, commitment to craftsmanship, and pioneering approach to wellness culminate in this new Monaco destination, where wellness becomes a true art of living.

Designed by interior architect Samy Itani of Itani & Courtois, the spa offers a luminous, mineral-inspired aesthetic where stone, untreated wood, and textured finishes create an atmosphere of calm sophistication. Carefully designed lighting enhances the space with a dreamlike glow, making it a refuge of peace away from the vibrant rhythm of Monte-Carlo.

With ten treatment rooms, including the Rose Chérie Suite and the Suite Impériale Duo, the spa is a contemporary sanctuary where every detail has been crafted to awaken the senses and restore balance to both body and mind.

At the heart of the spa, guests can discover Guerlain’s most exclusive skincare and wellness rituals. Among them is the Ultimate Black Orchid, the maison’s masterpiece protocol, combining expert gestures with the regenerative power of the rare Black Orchid.

Three treatments have been created exclusively for the Hotel Métropole Monte-Carlo:

• Monaco Glow – A radiant ritual celebrating Riviera elegance, using white quartz accessories and cotton voile for a luminous complexion.
• Puissance du Rocher – A sculpting ritual blending fluid movements, stretching, and joint mobilisation for deep revitalisation.
• Golden Sand – A tribute to the Monegasque Riviera, where warm quartz crystals cradle the body in soothing waves of relaxation.

Beyond these, the spa also offers tailored treatments for men, duo experiences for couples, and dedicated rituals for younger guests, ensuring every generation can enjoy the art of Guerlain care.

Adding a unique artistic dimension, French artist Claudine Drai has created three exclusive works in silk paper, bringing poetic elegance and an emotional resonance to the spa’s atmosphere.

Guests will also find the renowned expertise of Bastien Gonzalez, the internationally acclaimed specialist in hand and foot care, alongside a sauna, hammam, sensory showers, a state-of-the-art fitness studio, and an elegant boutique designed as a private salon.

Situated in the Carré d’Or, just steps from the legendary Casino, the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo has long embodied Riviera refinement. With its new Guerlain spa, the hotel reinforces its status as one of Monaco’s premier addresses where luxury, innovation, and tradition converge.
