In July 2025, Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo will launch a new haven of serenity and refinement in the heart of the Principality: The Spa Métropole by Guerlain. The result of a prestigious collaboration between the Riviera hotel and the House of Guerlain, this new destination spa embodies the promise of holistic wellbeing, guided by the expertise and vision of two exceptional houses. The Spa Métropole by Guerlain marks a key milestone in the hotel’s renovation, which will also see the debut of new accommodations revealed later this summer.
Designed by interior architect Samy Itani of the Itani & Courtois agency, the spa features clean lines in a calm, light-filled setting, conceived as a place of quiet retreat. A space created to engage the senses and restore balance between body and mind, it offers a contrast to the activity outside and provides a moment of pause within Hôtel Métropole. The design draws on a mineral aesthetic, combining stone, raw wood, and textured finishes in natural tones. Focused lighting brings out the form and shape of the space, creating a gentle, immersive atmosphere. Every element reflects the craft and heritage of the House of Guerlain.
At the heart of this setting, ten treatment rooms are dedicated to Guerlain’s signature rituals, including the Ultimate Black Orchid, the masterpiece of Guerlain skincare treatments. A true talisman of youth, this rare treatment combines expert techniques with the regenerative power of the Black Orchid to reveal skin that is radiant, revitalised, and beautifully preserved.
Three exclusive treatments created by Guerlain for the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo honour the very essence of the Principality:
- Monaco Glow, a ritual celebrating the femininity and elegance of the Côte d’Azur. Using expert massage techniques, white quartz accessories and cotton veil, this treatment smoothes facial features and relaxes the eyes, before revealing a radiant complexion thanks to a Guerlain make-up treatment.
- Puissance du Rocher, a powerful treatment for the face and body, combining fluid movements, stretching and joint mobilisation for in-depth revitalisation. This treatment is enhanced using stone accessories, to provide a deep, long-lasting body boost.
- Golden Sand, a treatment that pays tribute to the Monegasque Riviera, channels the soothing properties of golden quartz stones, diffusing the soft, comforting warmth of an afternoon on the beach. The body is delicately enveloped, while the mind surrenders to the whisper of the sand, as light as a breath. Warmed by the regenerating quartz crystals, the body relaxes and unwinds for a moment of total escape.
The range of wellbeing treatments caters to all tastes, with tailored options for men, sensory experiences for children, and elevated rituals designed for couples to enjoy together. In addition, the Art of Guerlain Makeup unveils a rich palette of bespoke beauty services, combining expertise with precision.
Each treatment is an immersive, all-encompassing experience combining advanced techniques that revitalise and awaken the senses. Guerlain’s approach to well-being blends performance with pleasure to elevate wellness to an art form.
Finally, the spa offers the unique expertise of Bastien Gonzalez, an international benchmark in hand and foot care, with an area dedicated to curated pedicures and manicures. A sauna, hammam and ultra-modern fitness studio complete this exceptional sensory experience.
The Spa Métropole by Guerlain: an art of living, a signature of excellence.
A place where luxury, innovation and tradition come together, designed for a clientele in search of the ultimate experience.
Opening July 2025
About Guerlain
Since 1828, Guerlain has explored, innovated, and perfected its Fragrance, Skincare, and Makeup, thanks to its daring creators of mythic creations with timeless savoir-faire. Drawing inspiration from Nature and Art and with the Culture of Beauty as its signature, the House has been visionary in its holistic perception of Beauty since its founding. Wellness has always been an integral part of Guerlain’s DNA, with nearly 200 years of heritage in Beauty and Well-being. In 1850, Pierre-François Pascal Guerlain, the founder, established a thermal wellness centre in Le Crotoy, pioneering a holistic approach to Beauty and Well- being that was revolutionary for its time. In 1939, Guerlain further solidified its legacy by opening the world’s first Beauty Institute at the legendary 68, Avenue des Champs-Élysées. As a Parisian House with a rich heritage and the crowning jewel of luxury “à la française” for almost two centuries, Guerlain has also always manufactured its products in its own ateliers, all located right in France.
For over 15 years, the House has placed the conservation of Nature at the heart of its work, guided by the bee, its emblem. Guerlain has dedicated several partnerships and initiatives to protect this precious pollinator within its “Guerlain For Bees Conservation Programme.”
