Ritz Paris veteran to lead Métropole Monte-Carlo from October
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
The Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo has appointed a new director with thirty years at the Ritz Paris, taking the helm on 1 October 2026.
The Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo on Avenue de la Madone is changing leadership again this autumn, with an incoming director whose entire career was shaped at one of Paris's most demanding addresses. The newly appointed figure spent three decades at the Ritz Paris before accepting the role, bringing with him deep experience of managing a palace-category property at the highest international level.
The appointment is notable for a hotel that has worked hard in recent years to consolidate its position among Monaco's top tier of luxury accommodation. The Métropole sits between the Casino district and the Carré d'Or, drawing a clientele that expects consistency and precision from management as much as from its kitchens and spa. A director of this background signals ambition rather than routine succession.
Full details of the outgoing director's departure and any structural changes to the hotel's operations have not been confirmed, but the transition date of 1 October 2026 gives the new appointment a clean start ahead of the quieter winter season, traditionally used to plan and reposition for the following year.
