#17 - Hotel de Paris Monte-Carlo

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo is perhaps the oldest luxury hotel in the world, it opened more than 160 years ago by the visionary, Prince Charles III of Monaco, the Hôtel de Paris was conceived as a statement—a beacon of opulence designed to put Monte Carlo on the map as a playground for the international elite. Over the decades, it has transformed from a bold experiment in luxury into an institution that seamlessly blends history with modern sophistication. I can’t wait to share this with you. Here we go! I'm your podcast host, Peter DeMoor. I have a fascination for the hotel industry and for more than a quarter-of-a-century I have studied it, been a hotel manager and as general manager of a hotel school have passed the torch to the next generation. Now, as part of an emerging hotel industry tech-startup, I am independent from any specific hotel or chain, and able to talk about the industry with a balanced perspective and with a certain level of expertise. 03:48 – HISTORY 07:07 – TODAY’S LEADERS 09:38 – HOTEL ROOMS 15:02 – F&B and EVENTS 17:20 – FACILITIES 21:49 – CELEBRITIES & AWARDS 25:42 – UNIQUENESS 28:09 – FINAL THOUGHTS For those of you who believe that luxury is not just about aesthetics or amenities but about an experience that touches the soul, the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo stands as a beacon—a place where every corner holds a story, and every stay becomes a cherished memory.
