 Great Travels

Hermitage Hotel Monte Carlo: The Old Beach and New Beach,both being hotels of top quality at Monte Carlo's small but elegant strand, are summer members of the luxury family. All of the above except the Metropole are under a single management. The Monte Carlo Palace is the most widely known hostelry, partly because of its superlative cuisine and its well-stocked wine cellar.
Hotels are numerous on the Monte Carlo acres of the principality and there are many more on the French soil of Beausoleil. Some sixty listed ones are within the narrow Monegasque frontiers and three are officially called "palaces," this category being above de luxe. The three leaders are the Paris, the Metropole and the hermitage hotel monte carlo, in that order, I should say, and granting that "above de luxe" is a bit on the enthusiastic side, any visitor will acknowledge and welcome the superior comforts of this superior resort. An added hostelry of the grand order is the 100-suite Nouvel Hotel, an annex to the Paris.
Sports have a year-round season, one of the most exciting events for spectators being the January Rallye Automobile Monte-Carlo, a monster motor race in which competitors drive stock cars to Monte Carlo from such diverse starting points as Athens, Glasgow, Lisbon, Munich, Oslo, Stockholm and Palermo. They "rally" at a point along the way, each with an appropriate handicap, and enter Monaco all on the same day.
