Monte Carlo: The Blue Bay Resort

by Lanie Goodman

January 11, 2010

The Monte-Carlo Blue Bay Resort is Monaco's most recent 11-story, €50 million extravaganza. Don't be put off by its Disneylandish diversity (5 different restaurants in season, botanical gardens connected by little bridges, a casino with the latest hi-tech slot machines, souvenir and sportswear boutiques, a private dock and helipad, and two pools — one of them a pretty, sand-bottom artificial lagoon). The rooms are contemporary comfy, and nearly all have private sea view terraces. Combined with the exotic Blue Bay restaurant, where chef Marcel Ravin offers an inspired, ever-changing gastronomic menu, and the Cinq Mondes spa, it adds up the best hotel deal in town. Excerpted from "Monaco Shifts into High Gear", February 2009, France Today.
