Best Hotels in Monaco for Every Budget — 22 Real Picks From £151 (2026)

Let's be honest up front: Monaco is the world's most expensive square kilometre, and it does not do cheap. Our top Monaco pick for a landmark splurge is Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo — Spa Guerlain — a five-star icon steps from the Casino, from around £843 a night — but the real question for most travellers is how to afford Monaco at all. The answer is simple and we say it plainly: the principality itself has almost no affordable rooms, so this guide merges Monaco with the two French towns that literally adjoin it — Beausoleil (directly uphill from Monte Carlo) and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin (just east) — to reach 22 real, distinct, currently bookable hotels. We label every hotel's actual town honestly. The floor is around £151 a night, and that floor is in Beausoleil, a short walk down into Monaco, not over the border. This is a premium destination — we won't pretend otherwise — but staying French-side and walking in makes it achievable.

Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin are in France, not Monaco, but a short walk or a few minutes from the border.

Monaco is a sovereign principality of barely two square kilometres on the French Riviera, wedged between the Mediterranean and the mountains and surrounded on land entirely by France. The defining sights — the Belle Époque Casino de Monte-Carlo and its square, the F1 Grand Prix street circuit that winds around Port Hercule and its superyachts, the old town of Monaco-Ville on its rock with the Prince's Palace, and the cliff-top Oceanographic Museum — are all within a short, if hilly, walk of every hotel here. Most visitors fly into Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), about 30 minutes away by train, express bus, taxi or the famous seven-minute helicopter shuttle. Monaco uses the euro (though it is not in the EU), as do the bordering French towns, so there is no currency change as you cross. The single biggest way to make Monaco affordable is to sleep just over the border in Beausoleil or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and walk in.

The Luxury Landmark Stays in Monaco

Monaco's top tier is small but iconic: two Belle Époque five-star landmarks in the heart of Monte Carlo, both steps from the Casino, both run by the Société des Bains de Mer that has shaped Monaco's glamour for over a century. These are the dream rooms, and their prices reflect the address — expect around £840 a night and up.

1. Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo — Spa Guerlain — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 5★ · 464 reviews · from ~£843/night. A refined five-star between Casino Square and the Métropole Shopping Centre, blending Belle Époque architecture with a celebrated Spa Guerlain, a Karl Lagerfeld-designed pool area and acclaimed dining. Discreet, polished and utterly central, it is Monte Carlo luxury at its most understated. A special-occasion address in the heart of the principality.

2. Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 5★ · 327 reviews · from ~£860/night. A Belle Époque landmark on the hill above Port Hercule, famous for its pink façade and the glass-domed Winter Garden lobby designed by Gustave Eiffel's studio. Grand, romantic rooms, a link to the Thermes Marins spa and a position steps from the Casino make it one of Monaco's most storied stays. The classic Monte Carlo grand hotel.

Prices here are live from-rates pulled while writing, and Grand Prix week in late May runs far higher. See all Monaco stays for live availability, or search flights to Nice (NCE).

Mid-Range Hotels in Monaco — 6 Four-Star Picks

This is the sweet spot for travellers who want to stay inside the principality without a five-star price, plus a couple of comfortable four-stars just over the French border. Expect roughly £209–775 a night depending on address, view and dates — Monaco pricing, but with the biggest review counts and the most reliable comfort in this guide.

3. Fairmont Monte Carlo — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 4★ · 5,808 reviews · from ~£525/night. The most-reviewed hotel in this guide, a large seafront four-star built out over the water above the famous Grand Prix hairpin bend, with a rooftop pool, Nobu dining and sweeping Mediterranean views. Right between the Casino and Port Hercule, it is a reliable, amenity-rich base in a landmark position. Superb for the setting and the buzz of race week.

4. Le Méridien Beach Plaza — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 4★ · 3,537 reviews · from ~£552/night. Monaco's only hotel with a private beach, set in the Larvotto seafront area with indoor and outdoor pools and spacious modern rooms. A short walk or bus from the Casino, it trades a central-square postcode for the sea on your doorstep. A strong pick for families and travellers who want beach access in the principality.

5. Port Palace — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 4★ · 2,380 reviews · from ~£517/night. A boutique four-star overlooking Port Hercule, with almost every room facing the superyacht harbour and the Grand Prix circuit below. Intimate, contemporary and superbly placed for the port, the Casino and race week. For travellers who want a front-row harbour view without the scale of the grand hotels.

6. Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 4★ · 233 reviews · from ~£774/night. A resort-style four-star on the Larvotto peninsula with a sandy-bottomed lagoon pool, gardens and a spa — a rare slice of holiday-resort space in a principality this dense. The most expensive four-star here, and the most family- and leisure-oriented. Ideal for travellers who want a resort feel with Monte Carlo on the doorstep.

7. Hôtel Le Roquebrune — Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France · 4★ · 332 reviews · from ~£463/night. A small boutique four-star just east of Monaco in the French commune of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, with sea-view rooms looking back along the coast. Calmer and more intimate than the Monte Carlo hotels, a few minutes from Monaco by train or car. For couples who want charm, a view and a quieter coastal base near the principality.

8. Hotel Victoria — Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France · 4★ · 111 reviews · from ~£209/night. The lowest-priced four-star in this guide by a wide margin — a well-kept seafront hotel in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, east of Monaco towards Menton, with comfortable rooms and a coastal setting. A few minutes from the principality by train or bus. Genuinely good value for a four-star this close to Monaco, and a smart base for exploring the wider Riviera.

Mid-range from-rates shift most with the view and the season — harbour- and sea-facing rooms and race week cost the most, and the French-side four-stars undercut the principality. Compare live Monaco hotel prices for your exact dates.

The Most Affordable Hotels in Monaco — 22 Real, Bookable Stays From £151

Here is the honest picture. Monaco itself has almost no affordable inventory — it is the world's most expensive square kilometre, and we won't dress that up. The lowest real, bookable rates in this whole guide start at around £151 a night, and to reach them you sleep in the French towns that adjoin Monaco: Beausoleil, directly uphill from Monte Carlo (some streets straddle the border), and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, just east. From these you walk or ride into the principality in minutes. We label every hotel's actual town — a Beausoleil or Roquebrune address is the affordable French side, a short walk from Monaco, not Monaco itself. Inside the principality, the Ambassador-Monaco and Novotel Monte-Carlo are about as affordable as it gets. This tier runs from £151 up to around £600 — genuinely the budget end of a place that has no cheap end. Below are the 14 most affordable stays, ordered from the lowest nightly rate up.

9. My Residence d'Azur Maison Micheloni — Beausoleil, France · 104 reviews · from ~£151/night. The lowest real rate in this guide — a guesthouse-style residence in Beausoleil, the French town directly uphill from Monte Carlo, a short walk down into the principality. Simple, well-reviewed rooms for travellers who want to visit Monaco without a Monaco price. The single most affordable way to base yourself right by the border.

10. Hotel Capitole — Beausoleil, France · 3★ · 799 reviews · from ~£158/night. A well-reviewed three-star in Beausoleil, a short walk uphill from the Casino de Monte-Carlo across the border. Straightforward, comfortable rooms and a genuinely handy position make it one of the best-value ways to stay right beside Monaco. For travellers happy to sleep French-side and walk down into the principality.

11. Ibis Roquebrune Cap Martin Menton — Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France · 3★ · 46 reviews · from ~£160/night. A reliable budget-brand three-star between Monaco and Menton in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, offering clean, consistent rooms at a low rate for this stretch of coast. A few minutes from Monaco by train or car. A dependable, no-surprises base for travellers who want the Ibis standard near the principality.

12. Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Monte Cristo — Beausoleil, France · 3★ · 2,292 reviews · from ~£160/night. A well-reviewed self-catering aparthotel in Beausoleil, just over the French border above Monte Carlo, with studios and apartments that include kitchenettes — ideal for families and longer stays who want space and to cook. One of the most-reviewed affordable options here. Great value a short walk from Monaco.

13. Appart'hôtel Odalys City — Monaco Les Hauts de la Principauté — Beausoleil, France · 3★ · 120 reviews · from ~£167/night. A self-catering aparthotel in the heights of Beausoleil overlooking Monaco, with kitchen-equipped apartments and, from many rooms, views down over the principality and the sea. Good for families and longer stays wanting independence a short walk from the border. Space and a kitchen at a fraction of a Monaco hotel rate.

14. Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Palais Josephine — Beausoleil, France · 114 reviews · from ~£195/night. A second Adagio aparthotel in Beausoleil, offering self-catering studios and apartments a short walk from Monaco, with the same flexible, kitchen-equipped format. A well-placed, good-value choice for families and travellers who want their own space beside the principality. Handy for longer Riviera stays.

15. Appartements 5MIN MONTE CARLO — Beausoleil, France · 61 reviews · from ~£196/night. Self-catering apartments in Beausoleil, named for the short walk down into Monte Carlo, offering roomy, independent accommodation for travellers who prefer an apartment to a hotel room. Fewer reviews as a smaller listing, but good value and a genuinely close position to the border. Well suited to couples and small groups.

16. Ambassador-Monaco — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 3★ · 1,823 reviews · from ~£226/night. One of the most affordable hotels actually inside the principality — a well-reviewed three-star near Port Hercule, walkable to the Casino and the port. Compact, comfortable rooms and a genuine Monaco address at a rate that undercuts the four- and five-stars. For travellers who specifically want to sleep inside Monaco without the top-tier price.

17. Alfred Hotels Monaco — ex Forum — Beausoleil, France · 3★ · 127 reviews · from ~£232/night. A renovated three-star (formerly the Forum) in Beausoleil, a short walk from the Monaco border, with fresh, contemporary rooms after its refurbishment. A comfortable, good-value base French-side for travellers who want an updated hotel rather than an apartment. Handy for walking down into Monte Carlo.

18. Soutariba — Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France · 206 reviews · from ~£233/night. A characterful guesthouse in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, in the hills east of Monaco, offering individual rooms and a peaceful, view-rich setting away from the bustle. A few minutes from the principality by car or train. For travellers who want charm, calm and a coastal-village feel near Monaco rather than a chain hotel.

19. Apartments Monaco — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 957 reviews · from ~£277/night. Well-reviewed self-catering apartments within the principality, offering kitchen-equipped accommodation for travellers who want to actually stay inside Monaco with the flexibility of an apartment. A good-value alternative to a hotel room over the border, with a strong review count behind it. Handy for families and longer stays in Monaco itself.

20. Novotel Monte-Carlo — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 3★ · 5,287 reviews · from ~£292/night. The most affordable well-reviewed hotel actually inside the principality — a large, reliable Novotel near the railway station with a pool, garden terrace and modern rooms, walkable to the Casino and Port Hercule. With over 5,000 reviews it is a trusted, comfortable Monaco base. The obvious pick for travellers who want a proper hotel inside Monaco without a luxury rate.

21. Boutique Hotel Miramar — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 738 reviews · from ~£388/night. A small boutique hotel overlooking Port Hercule, with harbour-view rooms and an intimate, personal feel inside the principality. More affordable than the grand hotels while keeping a genuine Monaco port address. For couples who want a boutique stay by the yachts without the scale or price of the landmark five-stars.

22. Columbus Hotel Monte-Carlo, Curio Collection by Hilton — Monte Carlo, Monaco · 2,849 reviews · from ~£591/night. A stylish, well-reviewed hotel in the Fontvieille district by the harbour and the Princess Grace Rose Garden, with contemporary rooms and a design-led feel under Hilton's Curio Collection. The priciest entry in this affordable tier, and effectively a four-star in comfort. For travellers who want a polished, port-side stay inside Monaco at the top of the value band.

Price note: every from-price above is a live rate captured while writing, in pounds sterling; Monaco and its French neighbours use the euro. This "most affordable" tier genuinely spans roughly £151 to £600 a night — because Monaco has no cheap end, and the honest floor is in Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin on the French side, a short walk from the principality. Rates soar during the late-May Grand Prix and high summer, so check your dates. Tap any hotel for today's total on your dates, taxes included. See all Monaco stays or search flights to Nice (NCE).

Monaco Hotels FAQs

What is the cheapest hotel in Monaco? There is almost no genuinely cheap hotel inside Monaco itself — it is the world's most expensive square kilometre. On recent searches the lowest real, bookable rates are My Residence d'Azur Maison Micheloni from around £151 a night and Hotel Capitole from about £158, and both sit in Beausoleil, the French town that adjoins Monaco uphill, a short walk from the border. Inside the principality proper, the Novotel Monte-Carlo (from ~£292) and Ambassador-Monaco (from ~£226) are about as affordable as it gets. Monaco is a premium destination — plan for it, and use the French side to keep costs down.

How much does a hotel in Monaco cost per night in 2026? Realistically the floor is around £151 a night, and that is on the French side in Beausoleil or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin rather than inside Monaco itself. Affordable three-stars and aparthotels a short walk from the border run roughly £151–290; four-stars in the principality sit around £460–775; and the two iconic Monte-Carlo five-stars, the Métropole and the Hermitage, start around £840–860. Monaco does not do cheap, so the honest advice is to stay just over the French border and walk in.

Is Monaco expensive? Yes — Monaco is one of the most expensive places on earth to stay, eat and be seen. The principality is only about two square kilometres, packed with superyachts, supercars and the Casino de Monte-Carlo, and hotel prices reflect that. Even the most affordable rooms start around £151 a night, and that floor is in the bordering French towns rather than Monaco proper. We frame this guide honestly: Monaco is a premium-only destination, and the smartest way to afford it is to sleep on the French side in Beausoleil or Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and walk in.

Where are the affordable hotels near Monaco? The affordable beds are almost all in Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, two French towns that literally adjoin Monaco. Beausoleil sits directly uphill from Monte Carlo — some streets have one pavement in France and the other in Monaco — so hotels like My Residence d'Azur, Hotel Capitole, Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Monte Cristo and Odalys City are a genuine short walk from the Casino. Roquebrune-Cap-Martin lies just east, a few minutes by train or bus. Staying French-side is the single biggest saving on a Monaco trip.

Is Beausoleil in Monaco? No — Beausoleil is a French town in the Alpes-Maritimes that borders Monaco. It sits directly above Monte Carlo on the hillside, and the border runs right through the streets, so a Beausoleil hotel can be a two-to-ten-minute walk down into the principality. It is not Monaco, and we label it honestly throughout this guide, but it is the practical, affordable base for visiting Monaco — the same views and the same short walk, at a fraction of the price of a room over the border.

Is Roquebrune-Cap-Martin close to Monaco? Yes — Roquebrune-Cap-Martin is a French commune immediately east of Monaco, between the principality and Menton. It is a few minutes from Monaco by train, bus or car, and offers a calmer, more coastal setting with beaches and the Cap-Martin peninsula. Hotels here such as Hôtel Le Roquebrune, Hotel Victoria and Soutariba are a short hop from Monte Carlo while costing noticeably less than staying inside Monaco itself.

Can you stay in Monaco on a budget? Only relatively. Monaco has no true budget hotels — the cheapest realistic rooms start around £151 a night, and those are in the bordering French towns of Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin rather than inside the principality. If your idea of budget is £40–70 a night, Monaco cannot deliver it; if you can stretch to £150–200, staying French-side and walking in makes a Monaco trip achievable. Be honest with your budget before you book — this is a luxury destination first and foremost.

What is the best luxury hotel in Monaco? The two icons are the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, home to a Spa Guerlain and refined dining, and the Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, a Belle Époque landmark with its famous glass-domed Winter Garden. Both are five-stars in the heart of Monte Carlo, steps from the Casino, and both start around £840–860 a night. The four-star Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort and the Fairmont Monte Carlo, perched over the Grand Prix hairpin, are the next tier of high-end stays.

Where should first-time visitors stay in Monaco? First-timers who want the full Monte Carlo experience should stay in the Monte Carlo district near the Casino and Port Hercule — the Fairmont, Le Méridien Beach Plaza, Port Palace or, for a splurge, the Métropole or Hermitage. If the budget is tighter, base yourself just uphill in Beausoleil (My Residence d'Azur, Hotel Capitole, Adagio Monte Cristo) and walk down into Monaco in minutes. Either way you are close to the Casino, the port and the old town of Monaco-Ville.

How do I get from Nice airport to Monaco? Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is about 30 minutes from Monaco and the nearest airport. The options are a direct express bus (line 110) from the airport to Monaco, a train from Nice-Ville station along the coast to Monaco-Monte-Carlo, a taxi or transfer (the quickest but priciest), or the famous seven-minute helicopter shuttle for those splashing out. The train ride hugs the coast and is scenic, cheap and frequent, and Monaco's station is right in the centre.

What currency is used in Monaco? Monaco uses the euro, even though it is not a member of the European Union. It has a monetary agreement with the EU and mints its own euro coins. Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, being in France, also use the euro, so there is no currency change when you walk between the French towns and the principality. Cards are accepted everywhere; the only thing that changes as you cross the border is the price of a coffee.

Is Monaco walkable? Yes — Monaco is tiny, roughly two square kilometres, and very walkable, though it is famously hilly. A network of public lifts, escalators and covered walkways helps you climb between the port, the Casino and the old town without exhausting yourself. From a Beausoleil hotel you walk downhill into Monte Carlo in a few minutes; the climb back up is steeper, but the free public elevators make it easy. Most visitors explore entirely on foot.

Do you need a car in Monaco? No — a car is more hassle than help in Monaco. The principality is tiny and walkable, parking is expensive and limited, and the roads are busy. The train and bus links along the coast are excellent for reaching Nice, Menton and the surrounding Riviera. If you are staying in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and plan to explore the wider coast a car can help, but for Monaco itself you will barely use it.

Which Monaco hotels are best for couples? For a romantic splurge, the Hôtel Hermitage with its glass-domed Winter Garden and the Hôtel Métropole with its Spa Guerlain are the classic choices, while the Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort offers a resort feel with a lagoon pool. On a more modest budget, the boutique Hôtel Le Roquebrune and the coastal Le Méridien Beach Plaza (Monaco's only hotel with a private beach) suit couples who want the setting without the top-tier price.

Which Monaco hotels are family-friendly? The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort, with its sandy-bottomed lagoon pool, and Le Méridien Beach Plaza, with a private beach and pools, are the most family-oriented in the principality. For families watching the budget, the aparthotels just over the border in Beausoleil — Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Monte Cristo, Odalys City and Adagio Palais Josephine — offer kitchenettes and more space, which makes a Monaco trip far more affordable with children.

When is the best time to visit Monaco? Late spring and early autumn (May–June and September) bring warm Riviera weather and the liveliest atmosphere, though late May is dominated by the Grand Prix. High summer is hot, glamorous and busiest, with the highest prices. Spring and autumn shoulder months offer pleasant weather and slightly better value. Winter is quiet and mild, and the cheapest time to visit, though some beach clubs and seasonal venues close.

When is the Monaco Grand Prix and how does it affect hotel prices? The Monaco Grand Prix is held in late May each year, when the streets of Monte Carlo become a Formula 1 circuit. It is the single biggest event on Monaco's calendar and hotel prices soar — rooms in the principality can multiply several times over and sell out months ahead, with many demanding multi-night minimum stays. If you are not coming for the race, avoid the last week of May; if you are, book as far ahead as possible and expect premium rates even on the French side.

Which hotels are near the Casino de Monte-Carlo? The Hôtel de Paris and Hôtel Hermitage sit right on Casino Square, and the Hôtel Métropole and Fairmont Monte Carlo are a short stroll away. For a more affordable stay within walking distance of the Casino, the three-star Ambassador-Monaco and the Novotel Monte-Carlo are inside the principality, while Beausoleil hotels like My Residence d'Azur and Hotel Capitole are a short walk uphill from the Casino district.

Which hotels are near Port Hercule? Port Hercule, Monaco's superyacht harbour and the setting for the Grand Prix's harbour chicane, is overlooked by the Port Palace and Columbus Hotel, and the Fairmont Monte Carlo sits above the waterfront by the famous hairpin. Le Méridien Beach Plaza is a little further along the coast in the Larvotto beach area. Staying near the port puts you at the heart of Monaco's yacht-watching, restaurants and race-week action.

Is Monaco safe? Monaco is one of the safest places in the world, with a famously high density of police and CCTV and very low crime. You can walk anywhere at any hour, and the bordering French towns of Beausoleil and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin are ordinary, pleasant and safe residential areas too. As anywhere with wealth on display, keep an eye on valuables in crowds, but Monaco is about as secure a city break as exists.

How many days do you need in Monaco? Two nights is plenty to see Monaco itself — a day for the Casino de Monte-Carlo, Port Hercule and the Monte Carlo district, and a day for the old town of Monaco-Ville, the Prince's Palace and the Oceanographic Museum. Many visitors see Monaco as a day trip from Nice or as one stop on a wider Riviera itinerary. If you base yourself in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, add time to explore Menton, Èze and the Cap-Martin coastline.

Are there apartments or aparthotels in Monaco? Yes, though most of the affordable aparthotels are just over the border in Beausoleil rather than inside Monaco. Aparthotel Adagio Monaco Monte Cristo, Odalys City Monaco Les Hauts de la Principauté, Adagio Palais Josephine and My Residence d'Azur all offer self-catering studios and apartments a short walk from the principality — a much more affordable and flexible option for families and longer stays than a hotel room over the border.

What is the difference between Monaco and Monte Carlo? Monaco is the sovereign principality — the whole country of about two square kilometres. Monte Carlo is one of its districts, the glamorous quarter that contains the Casino de Monte-Carlo, the grand hotels and Casino Square. Other districts include Monaco-Ville (the old town on the rock, with the Prince's Palace), La Condamine around Port Hercule, and Fontvieille. When people picture Monaco's casinos and grand hotels, they are usually picturing Monte Carlo.

Can I visit Monaco as a day trip from Nice? Yes — Monaco is an easy day trip from Nice, about 30 minutes by train or bus along the coast. Many travellers stay in Nice, where hotels are more affordable, and hop over to Monaco for the day to see the Casino, the port and the old town. If you would rather wake up in Monaco, staying French-side in Beausoleil gives you the same short walk in at a much lower nightly rate than the principality's hotels.

Which Monaco hotels have the best guest reviews? By review volume, the Fairmont Monte Carlo leads with over 5,800 reviews, followed by the Novotel Monte-Carlo (over 5,200), Le Méridien Beach Plaza (over 3,500), the Columbus Hotel (over 2,800) and Port Palace (over 2,300). High review counts on well-run hotels are the safest bet for a predictable stay; the two five-star icons, the Métropole and Hermitage, have fewer but strongly rated reviews and are chosen for their landmark status.

Do I need to dress up to visit the Casino de Monte-Carlo? For the historic gaming rooms of the Casino de Monte-Carlo, yes — smart dress is expected in the evenings, jackets are advisable for men, and beachwear, shorts and trainers are not allowed in the private rooms. You must be 18 or over and bring photo ID. You can also simply admire the Belle Époque building and its square, and watch the supercars pull up outside, without going in to play at all.

How do I book these exact Monaco hotels at the prices shown? Every hotel name in this guide links to that hotel's live page on JetMeAway — real-time rates, all taxes shown, and a date picker to match your trip.
