History
The Monte-Carlo Bay Hotel & Resort was inaugurated in 2005 on the Larvotto peninsula in Monaco, rising from four hectares of land that the Société des Bains de Mer (SBM) had reclaimed from the sea. It was the newest addition to SBM's constellation of Monte-Carlo hotels and its only true resort within the principality.
Designed by the Brussels-based Atelier d'Art Urbain with Monégasque architect Louis Rué, the low, white-stuccoed building was conceived as an 'L'-shaped structure with three towers oriented toward the Mediterranean, its Belle-Époque-inflected neoclassical arches and colonnades giving it a Riviera resort character. The property is known for a sand-bottomed outdoor lagoon, extensive Mediterranean gardens designed by landscape architect Jean Mus, a domed indoor pool, a spa and a helipad, with interiors later refreshed by designers including India Mahdavi.
