Modern Design & Lively
In the popular imagination, Monaco is a monument to excess, and, to be quite fair, there’s a lot of truth in that. But there are also exceptions, of course; anyone expecting a little Dubai-by-the-Med is going to be bowled over — or whatever the opposite of “bowled over” is, when it’s subtlety rather than force that’s doing the bowling — by the quietly stylish, discreetly luxe Columbus Monte-Carlo.
For while it doesn’t scale quite the same luxurious heights as the principality’s big-name five-stars, what the Columbus does, it does quite well. The look is clean and contemporary, in restrained neutral tones, with nary a gilded tap to be found, a style and an atmosphere that could be called residential without a hint of exaggeration. The Classic rooms are certainly nothing to turn one’s nose up at, but it’s in the Deluxes and the suites that the Columbus begins to spread out; the junior suites are proper suites, with a sitting room and everything, and the suite suites are downright expansive, with balconies overlooking the gardens or the Mediterranean.
The service, while perhaps less visible than the five-star norm, is certainly no less professional. And the location is just slightly out of the way — enough for a touch of peace and quiet, but with the Place du Casino and the famous shopping district still close at hand.

Stayed August 2023
To paraphrase another review on Tablet, this is a business hotel in a resort community. To give them credit, the hotel has upgraded the bathrooms and the room decor, so it was perfectly comfortable, but my room wasn't a place to linger and the bathroom was not a place to luxuriate. I had a balcony and a view of the harbor, but it was half a view and I was looking at dredging machines instead of super yachts. The balcony was fine for drying a wet bathing suit, but you wouldn't have a cocktail at sunset. That's not the hotel's fault, it just is what it is, and I was there to spend my days at other places in Monaco and the South of France with friends and clients, so I got just what I needed.

As a returning guest I can attest to the excellent facilities, elegant contemporary public spaces, a welcoming ambience and courteous and efficient staff. It benefits from a great location and close proximity to several restaurants and bars at the secluded Port de Fontvielle.
