5 good reasons to stay in Monaco in autumn

1 - Dine in the heart of Monaco's gastronomic constellation

In Monaco, there is the Salle des Etoiles and its unique artistic programme. And then there are the starred rooms and their equally unique shows. Eleven Michelin stars are scattered across the Principality for lunch or dinner in the heart of seven exceptional venues.
You'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to delighting your palate: Le Louis XV-Alain Ducasse at the three-star Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, Le Blue Bay Marcel Ravin, which will be awarded a second star in 2022 at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac, which will open in 2023 and boast two stars, La Table d'Antonio Salvatore at the Rampoldi, Le Grill and its star on the roof of the Hôtel de Paris, Pavyllon Monte-Carlo, a restaurant by Yannick Alléno at the Hôtel Hermitage, and Yoshi, the top address for lovers of Japanese cuisine at the Hôtel Métropole.

2 - Exceptional places to relax

Well-being and Monaco go back a long way. The Société des Bains de Mer was founded in 1863, and with it the quest for well-being, particularly through the benefits of thalassotherapy.
Since then, the Principality has never stopped evolving and reinventing itself, while remaining true to its DNA, in which well-being plays a key role. Today, the Principality is dotted with a number of relaxation centres.
Each hotel spa has its own identity: the Spa Cinq Mondes at the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort and its respect for ancestral ceremonies, the spa at the Fairmont Monte-Carlo and its oasis inspired by nature, the Spa Métropole by Givenchy at the Hôtel Métropole and its treatments offering a unique sensory experience, or the Thermes Marins, a temple to well-being and a haven of peace overlooking the sea.

Finally, as locals and regulars know, the Attractions Fair makes its appearance on the Port Hercule at the time of year when the sky pulls back its great black canvas.
