Fairmont Monte Carlo Review

 FAIRMONT MONTE CARLO REVIEW

Fairmont Monte Carlo Hotel Review
Fairmont Monte Carlo

Fairmont Monte Carlo Review (by Mrs Ilonka Molijn)

This summer, we spent 2 nights at the hip and chic Fairmont Monte Carlo. We drove, post-Mediterranean Cruise, along with the beautiful coastal route from Genoa – Italy to Monte Carlo.
From the moment you arrive in Monte Carlo, you know you’re in a unique and exciting destination.

The weekend started with a stroll to the legendary Casino, Port Hercule and the Palace of Prince Albert. No need for a car in Monte Carlo, all tourist sights are within a short walking distance from Fairmont Monte Carlo.

Prince & Princess Onesies

In the small lovely streets next to the Palace, expecting couples can’t miss the many shops with Prince and Princess onesies,  to celebrate the births of the Royal twins Princess Gabriella & Hereditary Prince Jacques, son and daughter of Prince Albert II and Princess Charlene.

Deluxe Garden View Room

Deluxe Garden View Room

We stayed in the Deluxe Garden View Room which is modern and extremely royal sized. Even with our family of four, 2 adults & 2 kids, the room has lots of space left, which gave it a rich feeling. The bed was also royal-sized and blissfully soft.

Dinner at Fairmont Monte Carlo

We enjoyed pre-dinner drinks at Horizon Deck, Restaurant & Champagne Bar while overlooking the sea. You can not wish for better views!
Then we had a delicious seaside dinner at Saphir 24, the beating heart of the hotel. To top it off, there happened to be a Fireworks Competition that night and we were treated to an amazing fireworks show.

Nikki Beach at Fairmont Monte Carlo

The next day we relaxed at the swimming pool on top of Fairmont Monte Carlo. Even while you walk outside the hotel, you can hear the music coming from Nikki Beach.

Nikki Beach is the go-to-hotspot to enjoy the prestigious atmosphere of Monaco. It is open from noon for lunch and dinner until while enjoying the music spun by Nikki Beach’s world-renowned Resident DJs.

Babymoon at Fairmont Monte Carlo

Monte Carlo is the ideal Mediterranean Babymoon destination. The compact-sized Monte Carlo is also perfect for some pre-birth shopping at one of the many fashionable boutiques.
And for some pregnancy cravings, next to Fairmont Monte Carlo, the famous French macaroon maker, Ladurée is your stop for a sweet treat (Galerie Métropole, 17 Avenue des Spélugues)

Fairmont Monte Carlo offers a pampering 3 nights Babymoon stay for expecting couples with daily buffet breakfast and 60 minutes Maternity Massage at Fairmont Spa.

We left Monte Carlo while driving over the Formula 1 Grand Prix Circuit, looking back to an extraordinary stay in the majestic and romantic Monte Carlo.

Baby Travel Cot

Baby Travel Cot Silver - Deryan
Baby Travel Cot Silver – Deryan

Last weekend, friends came over for dinner & drinks and brought their 7-months daughter with them.
When it was time for her nap, my friend took her baby upstairs to our bed, unfolded a little flat item and in a second there was a bed for her to sleep in.

Something so smart and practical didn’t exist when my daughters were babies, so my amazement was enormous.

The Baby Travel Cot is a compact pop-up travel bed/tent that weighs just 2kg and is easy to carry. It is the ideal solution and replacement for heavy camp beds.

In addition to being lightweight, the Travel Cot provides additional protection against the sun and insects. It is ideal when you visit your parents, family or friends and you just want to let your baby sleep quietly. However, the tent is also ideal when you visit the beach, for use in your back garden or on holiday. You will always have your own tidy bed wherever you go.

The company behind this smart product is Deryan, a Dutch company.  Get yours now at

Deryan.com

The Travel Cot comes in seven beautiful colors : Silver, Red, Blue, Khaki, Lime, Purple and Ocean.
