160 years of events, emotion, and excellence
Since 1863, Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer has cultivated a unique expertise in the art of creating unforgettable events. From the grand balls of the Belle Époque to today’s international gatherings, the Resort designs and orchestrates tailor-made experiences. This exceptional legacy now inspires a new generation of events: ever more innovative, creative, and responsible.
The birth of an event legend
When Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer was founded in the 19th century, its ambition was clear: to make Monaco a truly unique international destination.
With the opening of the legendary Casino de Monte-Carlo, the Principality quickly established itself as a prestigious stage for grand receptions and high-society gatherings that would shape European history. From the Belle Époque onwards, Monaco hosted:
- Spectacular balls and gala evenings
- World-class concerts
- Exclusive receptions for the international elite
Artists, visionaries and influential personalities gathered here, helping to forge the legend of the destination. Among them were Winston Churchill, who regularly stayed in Monaco and frequented the Casino during his travels along the Riviera, and Coco Chanel, who was present in the heart of Monte-Carlo in the 1920s, actively contributing to the destination’s cultural and social vibrancy.
Monte-Carlo Société des Bains de Mer soon established itself as the stage for the great encounters of its time, bringing together political, artistic and cultural figures from around the world.
Did You Know?
A great lover of cognac, Winston Churchill had the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo wine cellars reopened in 1945… just to savor a vintage Cognac, the “Roi de Rome 1811,” carefully protected for five years during the German occupation.
