A new sanctuary of luxury and well-being is set to open its doors in July 2025 in the heart of Monaco’s Carré d’Or. The Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, the Belle Époque landmark renowned for its elegance, is joining forces with the iconic French beauty house Guerlain to launch The Spa Métropole by Guerlain — a destination spa that promises to give new meaning to the art of wellness on the Riviera.
A Harmonious Fusion of Luxury and Serenity
As part of the hotel’s extensive renovation, this spa is shaped to be a holistic experience designed to balance body, mind, and soul. Crafted by renowned interior architect Samy Itani of Itani & Courtois, the spa’s aesthetic is a masterclass in quiet sophistication. Think soft natural tones, raw wood, textured stone, and gentle lighting that together create a space of calm introspection. The design serves as a tranquil contrast to the buzz of Monte-Carlo just beyond its doors.
At the heart of the spa are ten treatment rooms offering Guerlain’s revered rituals, led by the luxurious Ultimate Black Orchid treatment. This skincare masterpiece combines precise techniques with the rare regenerative properties of the Black Orchid, delivering radiant, revitalized skin in a sensory-rich setting.
In addition to its signature treatments, Guerlain has developed three exclusive rituals inspired by Monaco’s charm:
• Monaco Glow: A celebration of Riviera femininity, this facial treatment incorporates white quartz, cotton veils, and expert massage to refresh the eyes and illuminate the complexion — finishing with a flawless Guerlain makeup session.
• Puissance du Rocher: A powerful full-body experience that blends deep massage, and stone therapy to energize and renew from within.
• Golden Sand: Evoking the warmth of a Monegasque afternoon, this body ritual uses golden quartz crystals and soft wraps to create a cocoon of relaxation, transporting guests to a place of complete serenity.
Bespoke Beauty for All
Whether you’re seeking a solo escape, a romantic couple’s ritual, or a family-friendly wellness moment, the spa offers treatments tailored for men, women, and even children. The Art of Guerlain Makeup also takes centre stage, offering bespoke beauty services that merge artistic precision with luxurious care.
Further elevating the spa’s appeal is an exclusive collaboration with Bastien Gonzalez, internationally renowned for his innovative approach to hand and foot care. A dedicated space within the spa will offer his curated manicures and pedicures — perfect for guests who appreciate detail and finesse.
More Than a Spa — A Philosophy
This new retreat isn’t just about beauty and relaxation — it’s about living well. Alongside its treatment areas, the spa includes a state-of-the-art fitness studio, a hammam, and a sauna, all designed to complement Guerlain’s holistic wellness philosophy: that true beauty stems from a deep harmony between inner balance and external care.
A Meeting of Icons
The Spa Métropole by Guerlain is a meeting of two storied houses that share a passion for refinement, innovation, and heritage. Guerlain, with nearly two centuries of expertise in beauty and wellness, brings its Parisian legacy and cutting-edge techniques to this glamorous address in Monaco. Hôtel Métropole, known for its Michelin-starred dining, timeless architecture, and impeccable service, now adds this new chapter of wellness to its legacy.
Opening July 2025, the Spa Métropole by Guerlain invites guests to indulge in a sensory journey where tradition meets modernity, and every detail is designed to awaken the senses and soothe the soul.
