A magical festive season awaits for all the family in Monaco

Family holidays in Monaco are an experience like nowhere else. The many hotels across the Principality are decked out in all their finest festive decorations, with a multitude of special seasonal events and activities to put a smile on the kids’ faces and stars in their eyes.

At the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, the magic of Christmas starts working as soon as you step inside, with a magnificent tree standing proudly in the lobby, topped with an incredible red ribbon that stretches all the way to the Lobby Bar.

There’s more magic for youngsters in a " Just for Kids " suite specially designed for families and elegantly decorated to feel like a real home from home.

To keep the kids occupied while they wait for Santa to arrive, they can have fun decorating their own hanging pine cones from 3.30 pm on 24 December. The great man himself will then appear later in the afternoon.
There will be plenty to keep younger visitors amused on New Year’s Eve too, with a festive selection of activities for kids including the chance to make their own wish box.
For precious shared family moments, try the range of experiences "Just For You", including LA VIE EN BLEU, LITTLE GREEN CHEFS, AND FRESCOES AT THE PRINCE’S PALACE, while budding gourmets will find special festive menus created just for them, with magic in every mouthful.

At the Hôtel Fairmont Monte-Carlo, there are mountains of yuletide delight to be found! 
The Alpine ambiance starts with the huge Christmas tree in the middle of the lobby.  At the foot of the majestic pine are a collection of cosy chalets, ready to welcome visitors by the warmth of the fireside.  

In the midst of the chalets you’ll find the ski lift, taking you all the way up to the top of the tree, overlooking the spectacular Christmas landscape of the Principality of Monaco. A fairytale world awaits children at the Fairmont Monte-Carlo.
To take full advantage, check out the special family offers to ensure your stay is perfect in every way.
While you wait for midnight to arrive, the kids can start preparing their (no doubt long) Christmas lists to send to Santa, then pop their precious letters in a special postbox.

And there will be brunches and festive menus on Christmas and New Year’s Day to celebrate in gourmet style.
