Art at the very heart of our hotels  

Art also flourishes within the hotels of the Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. At the Hôtel de Paris, the Princess Grace suite and the Prince Rainier suite exhibit original works of art by the Sovereign couple. The Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo, a connoisseur's hotel, hosts important art exhibitions and sales, as well as concerts, philosophical meetings and events where art and thought meet.  

Akin to a revival of ancient Greece, the Principality is breaking down the boundaries between science, thought, and the arts. The Philosophical Encounters of Monaco welcome an ever-growing audience around great contemporary philosophers. At the Oceanographic Museum, the work around natural sciences echo the Principality's pioneering commitment to environmental protection.  

Art of living, art to live: for Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer, the two must go hand in hand. That is the only way to bring to life the famed Baudelairian dream for its visitors: to sing "the ecstasy of the soul and senses".
