The largest hotel cellars in the world

In this exceptional place, where silence and coolness reign, lie more than 350,000 bottles carefully lined up over a vertiginous distance of 1.5 km, peaceful witnesses to a wine heritage of incomparable richness, including 5,500 references. Old vintages, rare wines and renowned eaux-de-vie are preserved in perfect conditions.

 

 

A unique history

Built on the model of the Bordeaux wine cellars, the cellars were dug into the rock in 1874 on the visionary initiative of Marie Blanc, wife of the founder of Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer. Today, the cellars have a unique historic character, having welcomed a number of prestigious guests over the decades, including Winston Churchill in 1945 and Princess Grace, who celebrated her 20th wedding anniversary here.
