The hype
Guests are universally blown away by the views and design, calling it 'hospitality heaven' and 'out of this world.'
The Maybourne Riviera, Maybourne Hotel Collection
$800-1500+/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want to look down on the billionaires in Monaco from a Bond-villain-style glass lair perched on a cliff.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Jaw-dropping, 180-degree views of three countries (France, Monaco, Italy) from every room
- The ultra-modern, cantilevered architecture that feels like it's floating above the sea
- Ceto, the Michelin-starred seafood restaurant with a Himalayan salt-lined aging room
Kurzfassung: It's a spectacular architectural flex with views that ruin you for life, but you are completely stranded on a rock without a car or the hotel shuttle.
Bewertet von @RiccanzaLife: I stayed in this suite and honestly, the views are even better in person. Waking up to the Mediterranean sun flooding the room was a dream. If you want a romantic escape that feels totally private and luxurious, this is the spot. 10/10 would recommend.
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
Service can be stiff or forgetful (billing errors, forgetting names), and the isolation frustrates those who want to spontaneously stroll into town.
- You prioritize views and architecture over direct beach access
- You have a rental car or don't mind waiting for shuttles
- You want a scene-y, Instagram-perfect pool deck
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
9.5
- Housekeeping: Twice daily, almost 'overzealous' according to some guests who found their items rearranged constantly.
- Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate marble, robot toilets, and deep soaking tubs. No mold reports found.
- Maintenance: Brand new condition. Modern build means everything works, though some found the AC 'too cold'.
- Linens & towels: Plush, high-thread-count, and replaced aggressively.
- Odors & scents: Fresh sea air and expensive spa scents; no mustiness reported.

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is there a beach on site?
No. The hotel is on a cliff. They offer a shuttle to a 'private' beach club (Maybourne La Plage) at Cap Martin, which is a rocky/pontoon setup, not a sandy beach.
Can I walk to Monaco?
Absolutely not. It looks close, but the roads are treacherous highways with no sidewalks. Take the free shuttle.
Is the pool heated?
Yes, the infinity pool is heated and offers one of the best views in the world.
How much is breakfast?
Expect to pay around €45-60 per person. It's à la carte, with pastries sometimes topped with gold leaf.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, but it feels very adult-centric. There are no specific 'kids clubs' advertised prominently, though babysitting is available.
Is there a gym?
Yes, formerly a 'tiny room', it has been upgraded with the new 'Surrenne' wellness hub featuring open-air fitness studios.
Insider-Tipps
- ✨
Book a table at Ceto for lunch, not dinner, to actually see the view you're paying for.
- ✨
The 'Corniche' wing rooms often have better privacy than the main 'Crystal' building.
- ✨
Ask the concierge to book your beach club lounger days in advance; it fills up with non-guests.
5 Dinge, die Sie wissen sollten, bevor Sie losfahren
💡The 'beach club' is essentially a partnership with a local spot (like La Môme), not a private hotel-owned sanctuary.
💡The walk to the hotel entrance from the road is non-existent; you must arrive by vehicle.
💡Some bathrooms feature high-tech 'robot toilets' with heated seats and sensors.
💡Breakfast pastries are sometimes decorated with actual gold leaf, justifying the €44+ price tag.
💡The gym was originally a closet-sized afterthought but has been replaced by a massive new wellness center.
