Where to stay in Monaco
6 areas worth booking in Monaco, sorted by the budget each one actually suits — what the neighborhood feels like, and what a night there costs.
Budget — best areas
≈ $45 / nightBeausoleil is in France, but its streets run straight down into Monte-Carlo, and Nice is about twenty minutes away by train. Either costs a fraction of a room in the principality.
Budget picks to book
Mid-range — best areas
≈ $150 / nightAround Port Hercule and the market on the Place d'Armes: cafés, Rue Princesse Caroline and the Grand Prix's start-finish straight. The most lived-in part of Monaco.
Built out into the sea in the 1970s: a marina, the Princess Grace Rose Garden and the Louis II stadium. Calmer and a little cheaper, with Le Rocher just above.
The fortified rock: the Prince's Palace, the cathedral where Grace Kelly is buried and the Oceanographic Museum on the cliff. Pedestrian lanes and very few rooms.
Mid-range picks to book
Luxury — best areas
≈ $900 / nightCasino Square and the belle-époque palaces around it — the Hôtel de Paris, the Hermitage, the Métropole — with the Grand Prix's climb from Sainte-Dévote running through it.
The east end: Monaco's public beach, rebuilt in 2021, the Japanese Garden and the resort hotels on the Monte-Carlo Bay peninsula.
