In the heart of the Principality, Monte Carlo is the largest and most luxurious district of Monaco. On the Mediterranean coast, this area, which is inseparable from its famous Casino Square, is distinguished by the prestige of its hotels, restaurants, luxury boutiques and by its Belle Epoque architecture.
Bordering La Condamine district and the most intimate of Monegasque neighborhoods, Les Moneghetti, Monte Carlo is centered around its epicenter, the Carré d'Or, which is bordered to the west by the Hermitage hotel, to the north by the Park Palace residence and to the south by the Monte Carlo Star residence.
Monte Carlo: The Carré d'Or in Monaco
At the epicenter of the Monte Carlo district, Le Carré d'Or, built in 1863 after Prince Charles III authorized the opening of a casino, was developed around the Place du Casino and the creation of the sea bathing company. The Hotel and the Café de Paris, the luxury shops and the theaters all contribute to the worldwide reputation of the area.
The landscaped gardens offer a splendid view of the beautiful facades of the Casino and the Hotel de Paris, with Mediterranean species and ponds. A haven of peace that flows in the middle of this district that distills the cultural heritage of Monaco.
Monte Carlo: the capital of prestigious addresses
Monte Carlo is a district not to be missed for its art of living.
The greatest names in gastronomy have made it their stronghold; Monte Carlo inspires luxury and refinement through its top gastronomic and hotel establishments.

A lively cultural and tourist life
In this most prestigious part of the Monte Carlo district, numerous entertainment venues orchestrate the grandeur of the Carré d'Or:
- The Monte Carlo Casino stands out as the cornerstone of the district. Designed by Charles Garnier in 1879 in a Belle Epoque style, this emblematic place of Monegasque life has a terrace that extends to the Mediterranean and offers a breathtaking view as far as the tip of Bordighera in Italy.
- The Monte Carlo Opera House or Salle Garnier, adjacent to the Casino, is a priceless jewel that testifies to the prestige of Monegasque cultural life. Many 20th century artists, including Pablo Picasso, have left their mark on the interior decorations of this world-renowned stage.
