Hôtel Métropole Monte‑Carlo has opened a new destination for serenity and relaxation in the heart of the Principality: The Spa Métropole by Guerlain. In collaboration with the House of Guerlain, the spa embodies holistic wellbeing, guided by the expertise of two exceptional houses, and is the only Spa by Guerlain in Monaco. It represents a key milestone in the hotel's renovation, which will also introduce new rooms, later this summer.

Designed by interior architect Samy Itani of Itani & Courtois, the spa features clean lines in a calm, light‑filled setting, reflecting a place of quiet retreat. Although this is the first direct collaboration between Hôtel Métropole Monte‑Carlo and Samy Itani, he had previously worked alongside Didier Gomez, the designer behind both the original Spa and the restaurant Yoshi. His refined, contemporary vision immediately resonated with the hotel and the House of Guerlain. The mineral aesthetic combines stone, raw wood and textured finishes in natural tones, while focused lighting accentuates form and shape. Every element embraces the craft and heritage of the House of Guerlain.

Art plays a central role as Hôtel Métropole Monte‑Carlo is home to an exceptional collection of modern and contemporary works - including Picasso, Francis Bacon and Andy Warhol - displayed in the Lobby Bar. Within the spa, three poetic, silk‑paper sculptures by Claudine Drai are woven into the design, reinforcing introspection and emotional resonance while blending seamlessly into the architecture of the space.

Sustainability was also a key player in the redesign of the Spa Métropole by Guerlain. The use of natural, durable materials such as stone, raw wood and mineral pigments reduces environmental impact while creating a serene, organic aesthetic. This eco‑conscious approach aligns with Guerlain's long‑standing commitment to sustainability; most notably its Guerlain for Bees programme, dedicated to preserving biodiversity and protecting bee populations worldwide.

The spa features 10 treatment rooms which will accommodate Guerlain's signature rituals, including the Ultimate Black Orchid, the masterpiece of Guerlain skincare. This rare treatment combines expert techniques with the regenerative power of the Black Orchid to reveal skin that is radiant, revitalised and beautifully preserved. Guerlain treatments are designed on a detailed individual diagnosis, ensuring that each guest receives care that is unique and adapted to their skin type and preferred results.

Three exclusive rituals have been specially created for Hôtel Métropole Monte‑Carlo to honour the spirit of the Principality:

  • Golden Sand (1 h 30) pays tribute to the Monegasque Riviera on a heated quartz massage table—a rare feature in the Guerlain spa network. Golden quartz stones diffuse soothing warmth, enveloping body and mind in a moment of total escape. Priced at 400€ for 90mn.
  • Monaco Glow (1 h 30) celebrates the elegance of the Côte d'Azur. White quartz accessories and a cotton veil smooth facial features and relax the eyes, concluding with a Guerlain make‑up finish for a radiant complexion. Priced from 350€ for 90mn.
  • Puissance du Rocher (1 h 30) combines fluid massage movements, stretching and joint mobilisation with therapeutic stone accessories for deep, lasting revitalisation. Priced at 350€ for 90mn

The spa's treatments cater to all, with tailored options for men, sensory experiences for children and elevated rituals for couples. The Art of Guerlain Makeup offers a rich palette of bespoke beauty services, combining expertise with precision. Every treatment is an immersive, all‑encompassing experience: advanced techniques revitalise and awaken the senses, while Guerlain's approach blends pleasure and relaxation with performance for immediate visible results.

Dedicated to hand and foot care, an additional area by Bastien Gonzalez offers curated pedicures and manicures. Finally, a sauna, hammam and ultra‑modern fitness studio complete this exceptional sensory journey.

The Spa Métropole by Guerlain: an art of living, a signature of excellence. A place where luxury, innovation and tradition unite, designed for those in search of the ultimate experience.
