MAYBOURNE RIVIERA The newly opened Maybourne Riviera offers mesmerizing views of Monaco and its surroundings. The property was once home to a hikers' hut and a hotel called Vista Palace. After an extensive renovation, it finally reopened as the first French hotel for the Maybourne Hotel Group already famous for its trio of properties Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley, along with The Maybourne Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

Touches of art and design are present all around the property with attention to each detail. The journey starts from the lobby with a monumental sculpture by Louise Bourgeois suspended from the ceiling. Jean-Michel Wilmotte signed the architecture while different interior design studios have been invited to imagine the different spaces of the hotel, among them Bryan O’ Sullivan, Pierre Yovanovitch and André Fu for the spa.

Built into the cliffside on fourteen levels, the hotel is an architecture masterpiece blending in perfectly into its surrounding nature with panoramic glass windows. Guests can choose from 69 rooms including 29 suites with a private terrace and unparalleled views. The art of hospitality is present at every level, allowing the guests to feel at home thanks to a great selection of objects, books and art in every room.Jean-Georges Vongerichten has opened his first restaurant in the south of France at the pool bar.
