Monte Carlo Hotels with Bars

We traveled to France for our 20th Wedding Anniversary. We planned to stay in Monaco first for two nights then travel to Nice for the remainder of our trip for four nights. We booked lodging to stay at Le Meridien properties for both cites. Le Meridien Beach Plaza was our first impression and we must say it didn’t disappoint! We arrived early around noon on July 18th after a long trip from the States . Upon arrival there where no rooms available and had to wait until the guarantee time of 3PM. We had hoped to have been able to check in but it was so busy which in turn reviled that this is a popular hotel with all the people coming and going. Due to waiting the hotel was able to hold our bags so we could go get some lunch and start to explore the city. After returning a little after 3PM we went to go check-in only to be told we had to wait a little bit longer. At this point my wife and I were so tired due to the travel and it didn’t help that it was so hot because of the heatwave effecting the globe. Having to continue to wait for a room after 3PM frustration started to set in, so we set in the lobby where my wife started to fall asleep. After 10 minutes I approached the front desk to check if we could finally secure a room and that’s where we met Giosue whom proceeded to check us in. He could tell I was a little irritated and after explaining to him what had all transpired with us trying to check-in he immediately apologized and explained that it was so busy with so many people booking rooms at the property. After establishing rapport with one another while checking-in I shared with him we where visiting to celebrate 20 years of marriage. He was so excited for us and felt bad about the delay with checking-in, without question he proceeded to upgrade our room from a partial view to a full ocean view. My wife and I where elated and surprised that he did that. He even went further with giving us a 10% discount to the restaurant on property during our stay. To put a special touch of generosity and professionalism he personally escorted us to our room to show how nice it was and to ensure we where fully satisfied. As I shared in the beginning of this review this stay didn’t disappoint at all. Giosue throughout the stay made sure we where happy and genuinely wanted to hear our journey of 20 years of marriage as he shared with us that he was starting his own journey. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and appreciated the friendship we created with Giosue as well as the other staff we encountered while staying at this amazing property!

At the yacht show it seems that all services should be absent and should not be expected. Just check in anyway and don't expect too much. The room was fairly comfortable, small and outdated. The public facilities look super five stars and the rooms four stars. Super super many young female internet celebrities taking photos in the lobby is strange anyway. I wouldn't be here if I could choose a few others at the same level. Because all others are full. Checking out is super slow, very slow, wait a long time, and then swipe for a long time, for no special reason is long. all in all I have absolutely no comments, not bad, not great either, easily forgotten.

Our stay was at the end of July ,and we had a two night stay. We had two sea view rooms, with lovely views ,the rooms being clean and very comfortable. Staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. We ate in the bar and also at the Horizon Rooftop, where we had both breakfast and lunch. The breakfast is excellent, so much choice plus a chef for eggs of your choice etc. The lunch buffet is also excellent , and complimentary bottled water included. We took a trip to the beach - you get transported in a buggy so no walking , and we enjoyed our morning there - you will be allocated to The Fairmonts beds rather than choosing your position, but theses beds are complimentary. The toilet , lockers and shower facilities here are very good. We also used the pool (Nikki Beach). Again the Fairmont guests have an area of complimentary sun beds - not the large day beds directly by the pool, but for us that wasn’t a problem as ours were a little quieter. We did have a 6 year old with us and we had fun in the pool - he was the only child there though! The Fairmont is not cheap - everything is expensive…..but that is what we expected from Monte Carlo. It is in an excellent position, has a fantastic view over the hairpin, staff brilliant, food and drinks top notch, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

The hotel smells a bit renovated. Sometimes I feel a sore throat when I sleep. The faucet in the first room was broken. I could n’t take a bath. I repaired it for four hours. We went to negotiate, and Ctrip also helped us negotiate, and said that I would change the room. As a result, I went to look at it, it was not as good as the original, and we have to pack things by ourselves. In the end, we finally upgraded to us and I did n’t have to carry our own luggage, so I felt better, but I have to say that in France, in Monaco, the hotel service is really worse

Two friends and I stayed here to watch some tennis which was taking place. The moment we arrived Maajid ( front desk) was keen to help us get our bearings. The room was clean and quiet. The restaurant served some very tasty pasta and pizza’s. The location was brilliant station round the corner express bus to Nice airport bottom of the road. All in all an excellent stay with Maajid going the extra mile continuously.

The breakfast is very rich in terms of Western breakfast, and the dining environment is great. The location of the hotel is superb and you can walk around the main attractions of Monte Carlo. For the room type I booked, the hotel can offer an extra bed for free.

We spent a few days in Monaco after our stay in Cannes for our honeymoon and this hotel did not disappoint. We upgraded our room (recommend), and got an amazing view over the harbour. The room was clean, big and had very good air conditioning. Close to everything in Monaco (not very hard since the town is so small). The staff was very friendly and helped us a lot when our flight got cancelled. We would decently come back here. A little minus: the room was right under the restaurant which was a little loud. So if you are tender to noise I would ask for a room far from the restaurant.

The location is as good as you'd expect in a town like Monte Carlo - you've never far away. They have off-site parking that is charged per access. Park the car and leave it - you can do everything else by foot. There is a drop off point out front to empty the car (only room for about 3 cars) on a busy road. The check-in process was smooth, friendly and helpful. The rooms are immaculate and well appointed. The room was quiet and the bed comfortable - important things. Breakfast was included and the staff went out of their way to help my wife with her gluten free requirements. All staff were friendly and welcoming. Check-out was simple and easy. Would stay there again.
