As anticipation builds for the April release of No Time to Die—the next James Bond film and Daniel Craig’s last as 007—one Monaco hotel is celebrating the cinematic event in true jet-setter style. Set in the principality that evokes the glamour of those MI6 movies (it’s famed casino was featured in Never Say Never Again and Golden Eye), the Hotel Metropole is offering guests two ways to live like Bond would—including a chance to place your bets in the presence of royalty.
There’s no shortage of luxury experiences in Monaco, and the Metropole’s Golden Eye package puts many of those over-the-top experiences together in the GoldenEye package offered exclusively to guests of the Suite Carré d’Or, which was redone in late-2019 by famed designer Jacques Garcia in a fresh, contemporary style. Check in to the magnificent penthouse apartment (which is spread out over 150-square-metre, with an additional 110-square-metre terrace) and enjoy a full day and night itinerary that starts with a private visit to the casino and a helicopter fly-over of the country, followed by lunch at the hotel’s Joël Robuchon-helmed Japanese restaurant.
In the afternoon, take a ride along the French Riviera in an Aston Martin, indulge in a couple’s massage, and savour a candle-lit dinner prepared by the Robuchon chefs and served on your suite’s massive terrace, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. Hit the casino tables after dinner, then return to a suite adorned with rose petals and bubbly.
While the GoldenEye experience is available year-round for guests of that top suite, the Metropole is also offering a limited-time package that will thrill even the most passionate fans of the Bond franchise. The Secret Agent experience (available April 6-8) includes a two-night stay in a Superior, Deluxe or Superior Junior suite, (including breakfast); VIP access to the hotel’s Secret Agent Soirée, a party with Michelin-starred eats and a performance by a soon-to-be-announced music legend; and preferred seating at the red-carpet premiere of No Time to Die, featuring a tribute to the late Roger Moore and a display of never-before-seen Bond memorabilia. Then it’s on to a glamorous after-party at the Casino de Monte-Carlo hosted by His Serene Highness the Prince of Monaco.
At press time, only 25 bookings for the Secret Agent package remain. Rates for the Suite Carré d’Or start at approx. $20,600 per night, and $28,600 per night with the GoldenEye Experience for two guests. Rates for the Secret Agent package start at $4100 for two guests. To book the Secret Agent package, call +377 93 15 15 35 or email reservations@metropole.com.
