Guerlain is headed to Monte Carlo.
The luxury beauty company is opening its newest spa, designed by Samy Itani of Itani & Courtois, at the Hotel Métropole in Monte Carlo. Itani previously worked with interior designer Didier Gomez, who designed the Hotel Métropole’s first spa. The Spa Métropole, which has 10 treatment rooms, is the only Guerlain spa in Monaco. This news follows the announcement of Guerlain’s Wellness Spa at the Waldorf Astoria New York.
Like its approach at the Waldorf Astoria, Guerlain has created a variety of treatments and experiences that are signature to the Hotel Métropole and are inspired by the culture of Monte Carlo. The Spa Métropole by Guerlain menu includes Golden Sand, a 90-minute body treatment inspired by the Monegasque Riviera that features a heated quartz massage table; Monaco Glow, a 90-minute treatment that employs white quartz accessories, a thin white veil for the eyes and makeup application, all inspired by the Côte d’Azur, and Puissance de Rocher, a 90-minute massage treatment featuring therapeutic stones. The menu also includes Guerlain’s signature skin care treatment, Ultimate Black Orchid. All treatments are customized based on the guest’s needs. Additionally, there is an area for manicures and pedicures, a sauna, a hammam and a fitness center.

Most notably, the space features silk paper sculptures by Claudine Drai. Inspired by Guerlain’s commitment to sustainability and protecting the bees, the spa also uses all-natural woods and stones. In addition to the opening of the spa, the Hotel Métropole has undergone several renovations and will unveil updated rooms designed by Jacques Garcia this summer, as well.
