Columbus is located opposite the heliport (6 minutes from Nice) in Fontvieille and close to the place du Casino. Ideal for those who value the combination of stylish and relaxed surroundings, Columbus Monaco was designed by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, for people to enjoy, slow down and feel good about themselves.

Inaugurated in April 2001 by visionary Scottish hotelier Ken McCulloch and his Formula One business partner David Coulthard, Columbus Monaco has since its opening introduced a concept which seemed controversial in Monaco until then – simplicity.

Located in Fontvieille near the harbour, Monaco’s up and coming area, Columbus Monaco is conveniently located opposite the heliport and only a few minutes away from the Place du Casino.

The ‘Riviera chic’ style of the hotel was conceptualised by Amanda Rosa, who has combined noble materials such as leather, marble, wood and stones to create a chic and comfortable atmosphere.

The 181 bedrooms have been decorated to reflect the same elegant style and offer breathtaking views on the Mediterranean sea and the Rocher on one side and the Princess Grace Rose Garden and the mountains on the other.

The first floor lounge and reception area leads to the restaurant, Columbus Brasserie, and its outside terrace, which offers Mediterranean cuisine and superb local wines in surroundings reminiscent of a City wine bar.
The Cocktail Bar offers an extensive selection of cocktails and drinks in a foxy and sexy ambiance.
“We are creating hotels where the world will want to stay, and to achieve that we have provided a special combination of luxurious elements that you just can’t find anywhere else” says Ken McCulloch.
