As you arrive at the Place du Casino, the sight of this masterpiece by the famous architect Charles Garnier will take your breath away. Built in 1863, the Casino has been designed around an atrium surrounded by 28 onyx columns, behind which the Salle Garnier, an Italian theatre decorated in red and gold is the veritable miniature replica of the Paris opera house.
The gardens of the Société
des Bains de Mer are very closely linked to the development of a particular
part of the Principality of Monaco: Monte-Carlo. The area took off in around
1893 when the Casino was established on Spélugues rock, which was previously
parched and bare.

A golden glow cast over harmonious materials, colours and artefacts creates a laid-back ambiance. Asiatic fusion cuisine cleverly combines Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese influences. Special mention for the outstanding cocktails.
