Monte-Carlo’s shop windows are a vision of luxury, a daydream in an exceptional location steeped in history and legends. Let your eyes wander over the richly decorated façade of the Hôtel de Paris to the glittering jewellery in a window display. In nearby boutiques, nonchalant window models are draped in luxurious fabrics and precious seconds tick by on the faces of luxury watches. Time seems to stand still as a sports car drives slowly round the Place du Casino, followed by a limousine with slightly smoked glass windows. As you sit lost in thought on the Café de Paris terrace, it’s clear that what lies at the end of every rainbow is… the Principality of Monaco.
Frédéric Darnet
Le Cercle d’Or, Monte Carlo
"The most prestigious jewellery, leather and haute couture brands are all represented in Monte Carlo, in the area appropriately know as the Cercle d’Or or Golden Circle. This is quite probably the most luxurious location in the world, a unique concentration of the emotion and experience that are so specific to Monaco. The hospitality and events in this area all rise to the ultimate standards of pure luxury. This is the heart of one of the Principality’s oldest neighbourhoods, a magical spot for taking a stroll over to the Hôtel de Paris before heading for a thrilling experience at the Casino."
