Environmental protection
Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is Green Globe certified. This certification is confirmed each year when more than 50% of the indicators associated with the criteria are met. In 2023, the hotel received Gold status, awarded to members certified for five consecutive years.
The Leading Hotels of the World, a collection of over 400 prestigious independent hotels worldwide, has a Sustainability Leaders collection. Some fifty Leading Hotels are currently recognised as Sustainability Leaders, including the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the only hotel in the Principality to hold this certification.
In 2020, the Michelin-starred restaurant Le Grill, Le Bar Americain, the room service and banqueting signed up to the Mr.Goodfish programme and are committed to the sustainable consumption of seafood in their kitchens. We are also continuing to stop buying bluefin tuna.
Finally, our gardens are planted with Mediterranean species, which require less water and maintenance. Insect huts have been installed to protect the surrounding flora.
Heritage and culture
The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is passionate about keeping Monaco's cultural heritage alive. Our aim is to raise awareness of this exceptional heritage among our teams and customers. The hotel has 206 rooms and suites, two Michelin-starred restaurants and eight meeting and banqueting rooms, including the majestic Salle Empire, a listed historic monument. This legendary room, decorated with a 1909 fresco by artist Paul Gervais, overlooks the legendary Place du Casino.
Since 1874, the Cellars of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo have been an underground treasure housing more than 350,000 bottles carefully lined up over an area of 1,500m². They are a testament to our winemaking heritage, with over 5,500 references. A place of refinement and exclusivity, they reflect over 150 years of history and expertise and continue to fascinate the curious and lovers of fine wines.
The Lobby of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo houses a bronze equestrian statue of Louis XIV on horseback. It symbolises over a century of history. Legend has it that touching the horse's knee will bring luck and prosperity. This ritual continues to this day in the minds of hotel guests and Casino de Monte-Carlo players.
Social projects
Throughout the year, we carry out a wide range of activities in our various departments. The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is committed to reducing plastic. A collaboration with Guerlain, the hotel's supplier of shampoo, shower gel and body cream, has been set up in the rooms. Bathrooms are fitted with refillable bottles to replace disposable containers, significantly reducing the waste of bath products and plastic consumption. The SapoCycle association also recycles solid soap to give to families in need.
To raise awareness of pollution, the hotel has installed a TchaoMégot distributor, a certified pollution control organisation. This involves setting up collection points for cigarette butts, so that they can be cleaned up and recycled. The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is proud to have saved over 164.5 kg of CO2.
Corks are recycled and donated to associations. Plastic corks are collected for the benefit of the association "Les Bouchons d'Amour" for people with disabilities. Cork stoppers are given a second life by France Cancer. All profits are donated to cancer research. Finally, used coffee capsules are recycled to make soda cans.
Raising customer awareness
Finally, the hotel stands out for its commitment to a sustainable future for its guests. The concierge service is on hand to organise airport transfers in Tesla cars, combining comfort with respect for the environment. What's more, we offer guests the option of changing their bed and bath linen every other day, promoting a more responsible approach without compromising comfort.
In addition, selective sorting has been introduced in the meeting rooms, to meet the expectations of detail-conscious business customers. These initiatives demonstrate our determination to make sustainability a core part of our exclusive service, while preserving the experience we offer.
