It’s a sophisticated hotel with a menu to match in the on-site restaurant, which is impeccably run by chef Marcel Ravin. The carefully-crafted fusion cuisine has earned the restaurant a Michelin star and demonstrates a hint of chef Ravin’s Martinican background. The romantic setting includes a terrace with sweeping views of the Mediterranean. After you’ve eaten, you could take the 30-minute stroll along the Larvotto waterfront to Monaco’s harbour, Port Hercules. Alternatively, for special celebrations, you can always spend a night or two in the hotel itself enjoying its spa facilities and then go back to your apartment in Monaco feeling rejuvenated.
Private Luxury Yacht
What could be more romantic than chartering your own yacht for a sunset cruise along the Riviera? Pop open a bottle of champagne and enjoy the breathtaking views in totally private surroundings. Your Captain will showcase sights such as Cap-Martin, Roquebrune beach, Eze and Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat.

The Fairmont Monte Carlo
The fabulous Fairmont Monte Carlo is a popular destination among Monegasque residents. It occupies a prime position at the hairpin bend of Monaco’s famous Grand Prix street circuit and it boasts pole position in terms of views. The Fairmont’s aptly named hotel bar Saphir 24 is open 24 hours a day and is ideal for a cocktail before dinner or a late night, post-date lounge drink.
It also serves “bistro chic” food should you choose to spend a whole night here drinking in the views from its huge bay windows. Perhaps you’d prefer to move to the Horizon Deck on the seventh floor. This Champagne bar features views across Monte-Carlo and out to the Prince’s Palace and the sea beyond. Nikki Beach, on the rooftop surrounding the hotel’s swimming pool, is the venue if you’re looking for the trendiest date destination.
