Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo (Monaco)

Monaco’s legendary Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo has just undergone a four-year, $280-million-dollar makeover, bringing the historic 19th-century property slap-bang into the 21st century. The new rooms, all of which have balconies and close to half of which are suites, feature romantic details such as white marble floors, Louis XVI-style pieces and Murano glass chandeliers and lamps.
