MONACO

WHERE TO STAY




I fell in love with Monaco the moment I stepped off the plane. I’ve been lucky enough to travel back there many times and have stayed in many different hotels. The Fairmont is by far my favorite because of its location in the heart of the city. The hotel is located next to the famous Monte Carlo Casino and hangs off a cliff that over looks the Mediterranean Sea. The rooftop sundeck and restaurant sets this hotel apart from the many other hotels in the area.  Many hotels in this area do not have pools with ocean views or restaurants located right on the water. This hotel is often underrated compared to the Hotel de Paris and the Metropol that are often referred to as the “best” hotels in Monaco. Instead, I find those hotels to be stuffy and overpriced. For my graduation present, I am traveling back to Monaco this August and I am looking forward to staying at the Fairmont.

WHERE TO EAT



Dining at Le Café de Paris, located in the Hotel de Paris, is an experience you will remember forever. This fine dining restaurant is for celebrating a birthday, anniversary or big accomplishment because it is pricey. For girls, this is an opportunity to wear your cocktail dress that sits in the back of your closet and men are required to wear jackets and ties. Le Café de Paris has panoramic views and retractable roof so guests can dine under the stars. Every time I travel back to Monaco, I cannot leave without having their chocolate soufflé.

WHERE TO DRINK



Whether you enjoy to gamble or not, everyone should gamble once in the Casino de Monte-Carlo. This Casino is often shown in movies and is always swarming with celebrities and royalty. So enjoy yourself, order a glass of champagne and pick your game of choice. I guarantee it will be one of your favorite memories from your trip.
