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.
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.
