As a pioneer in visionary hospitality and committed to long-term action, the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is dedicated on a daily basis to three pillars: environmental conservation, heritage preservation and societal initiatives.
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.
In addition, the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo has been awarded the Forbes Green Responsible Hospitality badge, an international accolade recognising hotels committed to sustainable and responsible practices. This award is based on over 100 stringent criteria relating to environmental management and social impact, and highlights the ability of hotels to implement concrete initiatives that promote more responsible hospitality.
The Leading Hotels of the World, a collection of over 400 independent luxury hotels, has a Sustainability Leaders collection. Currently, around fifty Leading Hotels are part of this collection, including the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, the only hotel in the principality to have this certification.
In 2020, the Michelin-starred restaurant Le Grill signed up to the Mr. Goodfish programme, committing to responsible consumption of seafood products, and has continued to refrain from purchasing bluefin tuna. Since 2025, the Em Sherif Monte-Carlo restaurant, the Bar Américain, as well as the breakfast, room service and Wellness Sky Club catering services, have joined this programme. In line with this commitment, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer has extended this initiative to ten of its partner establishments, including Café de Paris Monte-Carlo, Elsa, Orange Verte and Train Bleu, thereby affirming its role in preserving the Mediterranean ecosystem.
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 initiatives across our various departments. The Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is committed to reducing plastic. A partnership with Guerlain, the hotel's supplier of shampoo, shower gel and body cream, has been established for use in the rooms. The bathrooms are equipped with refillable bottles to replace disposable containers, significantly reducing waste from bath products and plastic consumption. To give meaning to this transition, the old single-use containers have been donated to the Red Cross to extend their usefulness in a spirit of solidarity and responsibility. The SapoCycle association also recycles solid soaps to give them 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.
Caps are recycled and donated to associations. Plastic caps are collected for the benefit of the association "Les Bouchons d'Amour" for people with disabilities. Cork stoppers are given a second life by Fondation Flavien. All profits are donated to pediatric cancers and rare diseases research. Finally, used coffee capsules are recycled to make soda cans.
As part of this commitment to social responsibility, the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo also supported a charity auction by donating a prize comprising a stay at the hotel and three bottles of cognac from the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo cellars. This initiative helped to support research programmes into genetic intellectual disabilities, for the benefit of the Jérôme Lejeune Foundation.
Raising customer awareness
Finally, the hotel stands out for its commitment to a sustainable future for its guests. The concierge service is available to guests to organise airport transfers in private electric vehicles, combining comfort and respect for the environment. In addition, we offer guests the option of changing their bed linen and towels every two days, promoting a more responsible approach without compromising on 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.
