"If Monaco is one of the best places in the world to play a rich man's game, the Hotel Metropole is the place to stay while you're doing it. Far more romantic in the old-school, fresh flowers and ornamental furnishings sense than the other big name hotels nearby, it is a haven of sensuality amid all the citrus-coloured supercars and bling of the streets that surround it. Don't miss the spa and the incredible roof terrace for some of the most decadent downtime imaginable - plus it is a stone's throw from Casino Square so despite the illustrious privacy it offers, you're never far from the real thing."(Vogue August 2009)
