Set against the glittering backdrop of Monaco, the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo is poised to open a new chapter in its legendary story of luxury and refinement. In July 2025, the hotel will unveil the Spa Metropole by Guerlain—an exclusive wellness sanctuary born from the collaboration between the iconic French beauty house and the Riviera’s most sophisticated hotel. Designed by interior architect Samy Itani, this elegant and luminous new spa promises a holistic experience of beauty, balance, and pure serenity.
A Refined Collaboration Between Icons
Guerlain, a name synonymous with French elegance, innovation, and sensorial excellence since 1828, brings its heritage of high-performance skincare and luxurious treatments to the Hôtel Métropole. The partnership blends Guerlain’s expertise in beauty rituals with the hotel’s impeccable service culture and timeless style.
With this collaboration, guests are invited into a space where art de vivre meets cutting-edge wellness, and where each treatment becomes a personalized escape into calm and rejuvenation.
A Sanctuary of Light and Tranquility
Step inside the Spa Metropole and you’re instantly transported. The design by Samy Itani favors soft, natural light, clean lines, and warm textures. The spa’s refined aesthetic is both modern and inviting, creating an environment that is immediately soothing and effortlessly luxurious.
Creamy stones, blonde woods, and mineral hues evoke a connection with nature, while subtle gold accents and custom lighting offer an atmosphere of quiet grandeur. Every architectural detail has been designed to promote peace and comfort—from the hushed treatment corridors to the flowing water features that mirror the spa’s ambiance.
Tailored Treatments and Signature Rituals
The Spa Metropole will feature ten treatment rooms, each a private cocoon of well-being where guests can enjoy the signature rituals of Guerlain. Central to the experience is the Ultimate Black Orchid Treatment, a jewel of Guerlain’s skincare offerings that delivers powerful anti-aging benefits through deep, indulgent massage and advanced formulations.
In addition, the spa will introduce three exclusive treatments developed especially for the Hôtel Métropole:
- Monaco Glow – A radiance-enhancing facial designed to revive the skin after sun exposure, using cooling techniques and Guerlain’s best brightening formulas.
- Puissance du Rocher – A muscular and energizing massage inspired by the strength and heritage of Monaco’s rocky cliffs, ideal for decompressing after travel.
- Golden Sand – A luxurious body ritual combining exfoliation, aromatic oils, and deep relaxation techniques, recalling the sun-drenched sands of the Riviera.
Each guest experience is personalized through an in-depth consultation, ensuring that every touch, scent, and movement is perfectly attuned to individual needs and desires.
Beauty Beyond the Surface
True to its holistic philosophy, the Spa Metropole by Guerlain goes beyond facials and massages. The spa also includes a dedicated Bastien Gonzalez podiatry area, offering world-renowned foot and hand treatments that blend medical expertise with pure indulgence. Gonzalez, often referred to as the “pedicure virtuoso,” is a trusted name among celebrities and wellness insiders.
A sauna and hammam area provides spaces for detoxification and deep relaxation, while the ultra-modern fitness studio offers state-of-the-art equipment for strength, cardio, and mobility training. Private coaching and personalized wellness programs will also be available, catering to both seasoned fitness enthusiasts and guests seeking gentle rebalancing.
Wellness Reimagined
More than a traditional spa, the Spa Metropole is a sanctuary of intentional living. Its design, treatments, and approach are built on the belief that well-being is not a luxury, but a daily necessity—one that can be infused with beauty, science, and soul.
Whether you seek renewal after a long journey, a moment of peace between business meetings, or a luxurious reset during a sun-drenched holiday, the Spa Metropole offers a haven tailored to every type of guest.
A Destination in Itself
Monaco has long been a symbol of elite lifestyle, where the world’s most discerning travelers come not only for the glamour but also for moments of restoration. With the arrival of the Spa Metropole by Guerlain, the Hôtel Métropole strengthens its position as a destination within a destination—where beauty, health, and elegance converge.
The spa is not only reserved for hotel guests; it will also be open to a select number of outside visitors, by appointment. Members of the Monaco community and travelers alike will find in this space a new standard of wellness in the Principality.
The Spa Metropole by Guerlain is much more than a new facility—it is a philosophy, a refuge, and a celebration of the body and soul. In every detail, from design to treatment, from fragrance to texture, the experience is an immersion into the world of high luxury and meaningful self-care.
With its opening in July 2025, the Hôtel Métropole invites its guests to rediscover wellness as an art form, and to indulge in a new dimension of elegance—quiet, radiant, unforgettable.metropole.com
