GUERLAIN SPA opens Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo

Spa Métropole by Guerlain at the iconic Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo opened on July 29. The Spa Métropole by Guerlain embodies the art of sensorial care. More than a place for treatments, it is a retreat from the outside world, offering a timeless interlude in the heart of Monte-Carlo.

Interior architect Samy Itani (Itani & Courtois) has crafted a pure, mineral, and soothing environment: natural stone, untreated wood, and textured wall finishes blend in a palette of understated tones, while carefully orchestrated lighting creates a soft, enchanted glow. It’s a space that invites you to exhale the moment you enter.

Behind its hushed doors lie ten intimate treatment rooms, including the individual Rose Chérie Suite and the Suite Impériale Duo — serene settings for bespoke Guerlain rituals that extend far beyond the treatment table. The experience is elevated even further by Bastien Gonzalez, the world-renowned specialist in hand and foot care, whose dedicated space celebrates the artistry of refined gestures.

Well-being here is holistic. After your treatment, linger in the sauna, steam room, or sensory shower. Unwind in the ultra-modern fitness room or browse the elegant boutique, designed as a private salon. This is a sanctuary where the artistic vision of Guerlain flourishes, turning every element—from design to treatment—into a celebration of beauty.

Art is part of the spa’s DNA. To heighten the sensorial experience, Guerlain invited French artist Claudine Drai to infuse the space with her poetic, spiritual vision. Known for her delicate silk paper sculptures—organic forms suspended between presence and lightness—Drai has created three exclusive works for the spa. They blend effortlessly into the architecture, extending the treatment experience into an artistic dimension, and transforming the spa into a place where art, well-being, and emotion converge in perfect harmony.

For Guerlain, harmony emerges from the perfect fusion of expertise, innovation, and emotion—and here, each treatment is a journey. With over 80 years of aesthetic expertise, Guerlain’s Beauty Experts tailor each ritual through attentive listening and bespoke diagnostics, adjusting techniques and pressures to meet every guest’s unique needs. Drawing on rare orchids with exceptional longevity properties and healing bee products, Guerlain treatments here are performed to the most exacting standards, each one designed to be truly extraordinary.

This is not just the most glamorous new spa on the French Riviera—it is a reimagining of what a spa can be: a seamless blend of haute design, artistic expression, and transformative treatments, all set within one of Monte-Carlo’s most iconic addresses. The Spa Métropole by Guerlain is an invitation not just to indulge, but to inhabit beauty, balance, and pure Riviera radiance.
