Hotwire Hotel: Monte Carlo, Monaco

[TheSandwich]

There is not much information out there regarding Monte Carlo, Monaco so I thought I would share my experience with 5 star searching.

 

I was looking for a week solid on a hotel in Monte Carlo but could not narrow anything down.  At time of posting you cannot "name your own price" on Price.line or book a PL express deal.  

There was one hotel in Monaco proper on HOT.WIRE, which by all accounts is going to be The Metropole Hotel.  Based on the amenities and "last hotel won" information.  Price at the time for 8/26/14 - 8/29/14 was $554 per night.  Which i do not believe included access to their new "exclusive" pool.

 

After an exhausting look I found what appears to be a great hotel, Porto Palace.  Ended up paying $380 per night after taxes and everything.  A very nice price for the hotel and much cheaper than the close to $1,000 per night at other 5 star hotels. Not including the Hot.wire option listed above, which actually would have been a great price.  There was no option for booking this hotel on priceline or hotwire so I had to use booking dot com.  

 

Just thought I would add my .02 since I spent a ton of time researching the options with little to no information available.

 

I will update after my stay to see if it was still a good idea to stay at Porto Palace.

Thanx for your post!

Good to see that you found something that works for you.

The "last person got ..." message shown by HOTWIRE is in reference to the last person who won a hotel in that zone at that star rating... it doesn't apply to the amenity set of the current offer nor does it say anything about the current hotel offered.

Please check for and use the links in our Support Page whenever possible for your non-opaque purchases, as we have links there to most of the major hotel chains and online booking agencies.

Enjoy your stay!

Please use the PRICELINE and hot.wire links on the board to begin your purchases and searches.

I realize I am late on replying, but i wanted to report back on my stay.

 

This hotel is in a FANTASTIC location.  We got upgraded because it was my fiance's birthday.  Had a view of the Mediterranean, and were only steps away from the Casino Square.

 

Would highly recommend this place for the price.  The restaurant on the roof is great and right down the hill the there another roof top restaurant with Happy hour.
