HOTEL METROPOLE MONTE-CARLO

Be inspired to head to the South of France for the summer to stay at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo. Its chic setting in the Principality of Monaco makes it a go-to for the jet set on the summer circuit who make the most of the Riviera’s fabulous luxury boutiques and gastronomic excellence. The property epitomises French style in its elegant design – Belle Époque elements mix effortlessly with modern accents, such as Breton-striped homeware, ensuring it appeals to both hipsters and traditionalists alike. The food, naturellement, is a big focus with the hotel boasting two Michelin-starred restaurants by chef Joël Robuchon: Robuchon, for classic French fare, and Yoshi, a contemporary Japanese. The poolside lounge and restaurant, Odyssey, was designed by the late, great Karl Lagerfeld and the swish Givenchy spa by French architect Didier Gomez. An impossibly chic address while in the Riviera, for summer the hotel is offering 20 per cent off Superior and Deluxe Suites until September 15. Metropole.com
