The Hermitage is worth a stay just for the breakfasts under the lace dome in the famous tiered lobby. But the bright rooms with balconies with decks large enough to accommodate a sun lounger are also worthy of becoming your Monte Carlo residence. The grandiose size of the hotel allows it to offer guests nine individually designed diamond suites, and two other categories of suites in addition to the standard ones.

Don it miss the excellent Lavistamar restaurant, which uses the best local farm produce and fish from the best suppliers - a real taste of the Mediterranean!
