Hotel Metropole, Monte Carlo

The Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo is a five-star hotel at 4, Avenue De La Madone, Monte Carlo, Monaco.

History
The Hotel Metropole was built in 1889, designed by Hans-Georg Tersling. Italian American television host Mike Bongiorno died there in 2009.

Lebanese developer Nabil Boustany bought the hotel from the British Grand Metropolitan group in 1980. Boustany spent $140 million gutting and rebuilding the aging hotel into a modern luxury hotel. The hotel reopened in 1988 as Le Metropole Palace. The opening was attended by Prince Rainier, Prince Albert, and Princess Stephanie. The hotel was operated by Conrad Hotels, the international division of Hilton Hotels. In September 2003, it closed for a major renovation, reopening in July 2004 with its name shortened to Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo to match the original hotel. It has 126 guest rooms, including 64 suites.

In November 2020, the hotel closed for the first phase of renovation; it took five months and the hotel reopened in April 2021.
