The Hotel Metropole, is a five-star hotel at 4, Avenue De La Madone, Monte Carlo, Monaco.

The original Hotel Metropole

The original Hotel Metropole was built in 1886 and was designed by Hans-Georg Tersling.[1] Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark died there in 1944.[2] It was demolished in the mid-twentieth century.

The current hotel is a modern luxury hotel, designed in the style of the original. It was built by Lebanese developer Nabil Boustany, at a cost of $140 million,[3] and opened in 1988[4] by Prince Rainier, Prince Albert and Princess Stephanie as Le Metropole Palace,[5] operated by Conrad Hotels, the international division of Hilton Hotels.[6] Its name was later shortened to Hotel Metropole to match the original hotel. It has 126 guest rooms, including 64 suites.[7]

American television host Mike Bongiorno died there in 2009.[8][9]
