This summer, Monaco welcomes the dawn of a new wellness era. In July 2025, the prestigious Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo will open the doors to its completely reimagined Spa Metropole by Guerlain—a sophisticated retreat designed to elevate the art of self-care. More than just a spa, it is a sanctuary of light, tranquility, and transformation where tradition meets innovation, and where every guest is invited to pause, breathe, and reconnect.
A Holistic Retreat in the Heart of Monte-Carlo
Tucked discreetly within the Hôtel Métropole’s luxurious walls, the Spa Metropole by Guerlain promises an immersive escape from the fast pace of modern life. This new addition to the hotel is the product of a powerful partnership between two French icons—Guerlain, the legendary perfume and skincare house with nearly two centuries of savoir-faire, and the Hôtel Métropole, a symbol of Riviera elegance and discretion.
Designed by Samy Itani, the spa exudes calm from the moment you enter. The atmosphere is minimalist yet warm, blending refined materials with a carefully curated palette of neutrals, soft golds, and natural textures. The architecture guides you gently through a series of serene spaces, each more inviting than the last.
Designed for Deep Experience
Far from the superficial, this is a spa that invites you to go deeper—into stillness, into self-awareness, and into a luxurious world where every detail has meaning.
Inside, ten private treatment rooms become personal sanctuaries. Each room is a cocoon of comfort, bathed in natural light and enhanced with gentle fragrances, soft textiles, and impeccable acoustics. The design focuses on sensory harmony—visual, tactile, and olfactory—for a fully immersive wellness experience.
Every guest journey begins with a personalized consultation, where Guerlain experts assess your needs and tailor your treatment accordingly. Whether you’re looking to re-energize, unwind, or indulge in pure beauty care, the spa offers a collection of treatments that go far beyond the ordinary.
Guerlain Excellence, Customized for Monaco
At the heart of the spa experience are Guerlain’s signature rituals, renowned for their precision, performance, and poetic touch. The standout is the Ultimate Black Orchid Facial, a global icon of anti-aging luxury, which uses the extraordinary regenerative powers of the Black Orchid flower to lift, sculpt, and illuminate the face.
But what makes this spa truly unique is its set of exclusive, Monaco-inspired treatments:
- Monaco Glow – A skin-brightening facial designed to revive radiance, especially after a day in the Mediterranean sun. Light, hydrating, and infused with floral energy, it leaves the skin visibly luminous.
- Puissance du Rocher – A deep-tissue body massage inspired by the resilience of Monaco’s rock foundations, focusing on grounding energy and muscular recovery.
- Golden Sand – A sensorial body treatment combining exfoliation, nourishing oils, and slow massage techniques, evoking the warmth and elegance of the Riviera coast.
Each treatment unfolds like a ritual—slow, intentional, and poetic. Nothing is rushed; everything flows.
More Than Beauty: A Comprehensive Approach to Well-being
Wellness at the Spa Metropole is not just about looking good—it’s about feeling whole. To that end, the spa also features a Bastien Gonzalez studio, where hands and feet are cared for with the same level of detail as the face. Known for his unique fusion of podiatry and beauty, Gonzalez’s treatments are both therapeutic and luxurious, leaving limbs revitalized and impeccably groomed.
Additional facilities include a sauna, hammam, and an ultra-modern fitness studio equipped for everything from strength training to mindful stretching. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or just beginning a wellness journey, tailored coaching and private sessions are available to help guests align body and mind.
The Monaco Mindset: Discreet Luxury and Lasting Vitality
Monaco is a place where wellness is not just a trend—it’s a lifestyle. And the Spa Metropole by Guerlain captures that spirit perfectly. Elegant, discreet, and deeply refined, it caters to those who value quality over quantity, silence over spectacle, and depth over distraction.
This spa isn’t about chasing the next treatment—it’s about curating a meaningful experience. Whether you’re visiting for an afternoon or indulging in a full week of wellness, the feeling you’ll take with you is one of balance, beauty, and renewal.
An Invitation to Rediscover Yourself
At its essence, the Spa Metropole by Guerlain offers more than pampering—it offers permission. Permission to disconnect, to slow down, and to invest in your well-being. In every massage stroke, every drop of precious serum, and every quiet corner of the space, there’s a subtle message: you matter.
This July, step into a space where wellness is redefined—not as indulgence, but as essential. The Spa Metropole by Guerlain is an invitation to rediscover yourself, in the most beautiful and serene setting Monaco has to offer.metropole.com
