Helicopter recommendations for Monaco
Restaurant : Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse at the Hôtel de Paris
Just a few minutes from the heliport on Place du Casino, Le Louis XV – Alain Ducasse embodies a form of perfection. Three Michelin stars, a room where marble and gilding melt into the hushed silence of service. Here, every dish tells the story of the Mediterranean: the vegetables come from the hinterland of Nice, the fish are caught off the coast of Antibes. Service is fluid, almost invisible. Ideal for a business lunch or confidential dinner. Reservations strongly recommended, impeccable attire required.
Hotel: Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo
TheHôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo can’t be described, it has to be experienced. As soon as you step off the helicopter, your driver takes you straight to the entrance, under the lanterns of the Belle Époque façade. The rooms – some with views of the harbor or Casino – are spacious, perfectly soundproofed and discreetly refined. Access to the Thermes Marins, treatment suites, panoramic pool and private cellars is reserved for guests. For those wishing to arrive incognito or organize a strategic meeting, an entire floor can be privatized.
