The Lobby Bar at Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is set to captivate visitors with a new addition to its menu, the “Monaco Rush” cocktail. This innovative creation, featuring The Gardener gin, pays homage to the charm and allure of the Côte d’Azur, infusing the flavors of the region into a refreshing and daring concoction. And did you know that Brad Pitt created Gardener Gin?
We love the Hotel Metropole, we have stayed there many times and it is always a joy to visit so it is so exciting to hear about this fun new collab!
With a meticulous blend of fresh and dried citrus notes from pink grapefruit, lemon, sweet and bitter oranges sourced from the renowned Cap d’Antibes region, the “Monaco Rush” is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship behind The Gardener gin. Crafted by Brad Pitt, the Perrin Family, and Tom Nichol, this London Dry Gin embodies the light, elegance, and art of living that epitomize the French Riviera.
The cocktail’s exquisite combination of peach coulis and liqueur, blackcurrant cream, mint, lemon juice, and The Gardener gin, creates a symphony of flavors that dance on the palate. Served in the luxurious ambiance of the Lobby Bar, designed by the esteemed Jacques Garcia, guests are transported into a world of glamour, warmth, and sensuality.
Jacques Garcia’s iconic touch is evident throughout the bar, from the art objects to the antique books, and the sumptuous velvet sofas that beckon visitors to relax and unwind. The ambiance exudes the cozy charm of an English club, infused with an unmistakable Mediterranean flair.
Our experience at the Metropole is always top notch, from the dramatic entrance, to the pool, to the food at all the restaurants, it is a place we are constantly recommending to our friends. Situated in the prestigious Carré d’Or, just steps away from the iconic Casino, Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo has been a beacon of luxury since its establishment in 1886. Recently renovated by Jacques Garcia, the Belle Époque property now boasts 125 rooms and suites, each exuding Mediterranean charm with a contemporary touch.
In addition to the Lobby Bar, the hotel offers a range of exceptional dining experiences. “Les Ambassadeurs by Christophe Cussac” invites guests to savor refined and gourmet Mediterranean cuisine, while Yoshi, the only Japanese restaurant on the Côte d’Azur with a Michelin star since 2010, delights diners with its contemporary and audacious menu. The poolside Odyssey restaurant, envisioned by the late Karl Lagerfeld, presents haute couture charm, while the Lobby Bar caters to every sweet and savory craving.
As the prestigious Grand Prix approaches, the unveiling of the “Monaco Rush” cocktail at the Lobby Bar of Hotel Metropole Monte-Carlo is an invitation to indulge in the flavors and ambiance of one of the Principality’s most iconic venues. It is an ode to the art of living, the beauty of the French Riviera, and the pleasures that Monte-Carlo has to offer.
Visitors are sure to be seduced by the elegant charm of the Lobby Bar, and their only desire will be to return and savor the exquisite “Monaco Rush” once again, as they immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of this legendary destination.
