Hôtel Métropole, Monte-Carlo
On Avenue de la Madone, in the heart of the Carré d'Or, the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo stands in a building designed in 1889. Your private driver takes you there from Nice airport, or from Fontvieille heliport after a seven-minute flight.
The hotel and its neighbourhood
Tersling, 1889
The architect Hans-Georg Tersling designed the Métropole in 1889. Bought in 1980, the hotel was rebuilt inside from top to bottom and reopened in 1988, with Prince Rainier III attending. Further work followed in 2003-2004, then in 2020-2021. In 2004, it took back its original name.
The Carré d'Or
The Carré d'Or surrounds the casino gardens and is the most prestigious district of Monte-Carlo. The casino is a short walk from Avenue de la Madone. On the seafront at Larvotto, the Grimaldi Forum has hosted congresses, trade fairs and gala dinners since 2000, on land reclaimed from the sea.
Our chauffeur services at Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo
By air or by road
Monaco heliport, in Fontvieille, is just seven minutes' flight from Nice. Give us your landing time: the chauffeur waits at the heliport and drives you to Avenue de la Madone. By road, from Nice Airport to the Métropole, plan on 55 minutes, with fares starting at €115. Your luggage travels with you, in the boot.
A day of meetings
A congress at the Grimaldi Forum in the morning, lunch in Fontvieille, a meeting in Nice in the afternoon? Our business service puts a chauffeur at your disposal for the day. He links the addresses, waits between appointments and returns you to the Métropole at night.
Evenings in Cap-d'Ail
After the last meeting, Cap-d'Ail, just west of Monaco, is a good place for dinner by the water. For an evening flight, the chauffeur then heads straight for Nice, with your bags already on board. The way back follows the sea to Monaco.
Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo?
About 55 minutes to reach Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo (32 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
Can the chauffeur stay with us for a full day of meetings from the Métropole?
Yes, by the hour: he takes you from meeting to meeting, in Monaco or Nice, and has you back at the hotel by evening.
What if we arrive by helicopter in Fontvieille?
Tell us your flight time: the chauffeur waits at Monaco heliport and drives you to the Métropole.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
