I Stay In The Hotel De Paris, Monte Carlo - I Wasn't Expecting This!

I spend one night in the ultra-luxury and world-famous Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo in Monaco, A 5-star hotel located in the heart of Monaco with a pool and restaurants. It's been in movies, tv shows BUT is it worth the hype and should you stay here?

Where Should I Stay Next?
Let me know 👇

Almost $2K for a balcony room on the 1st floor - not even a suite. Holes in the pillow and some worn furniture pieces. The steak frites were overpriced and no excuse for a 40 minute wait. The meat didn’t even look very good. Breakfast looked good and public areas were gorgeous. But what was really unacceptable was the lack of warmth or even decent service. Strong pass for me, even if money were no object.

What I love about your videos is that they beautifully depict the feeling of tension that is inside these hotels. For 25 years I went into these places for business working for
a luxury car brand, the biggest issue I had was simply feeling out of place, I didn’t grow up with those layers of granduer so when you finally do get in there you realise not only do you have the wrong clothes but you feel like you’re even having to walk differently. The other thing I found is many of the world’s great hotels are soulless, they don’t live up to the brochures or the drone shots. So in the end, I prefer to rent an apartment or house and simply try to live in whatever area I’m visiting. So your videos serve as a useful reminder to me, to remember what is real and what is not, real is your beautiful family and friends, and whilst being able to afford whatever you want is not the worst thing in the world, neither is it the best.

Tim, when you encounter these rude "people, " remember, only unhappy people treat others badly. We are All with you there, Tim.

True class is accepting people for who they are

In Germany, my daughter and I went into a very expensive clothes shop. The lady, whose family owned the shop, was lovely

It was very clear that we were financially not her target market, but she was so friendly and relaxed with us, exactly how it should be - regardless of finances, we should treat each other with respect

Any hotel worth its name should start by having the right attitude from their staff. It makes such a difference.

I got to stay in a room in Monaco overlooking the ocean with a balcony. It was Princess Grace hospital and I had my appendix out there in 2006. My doctor was Dr. Ferrari, not joking. I got sick on a cruise and thank God the second doctor I saw on board figured it was appendicitis so it was off to the hospital for an ultrasound and that's where I ended up for the next few days. My ship left port but I got to stay there for ten days experiencing Monte Carlo and taking a train to Cannes. Good thing i had insurance because it was $$$. But what an adventure and I loved recovering there by walking around and experiencing everything. Definitely want to go back, but stay out of the hospital 😊

I treat all hotel staff with respect and expect the same in return.
I would not have handled their rudeness as well as you did.
The pillow case damage speaks volumes, all frills and no knickers.

I lived in Monaco decades ago as a Nanny. It was run by a mafia and you had to tip everywhere you went, as the family of my charge would give me the money to do it otherwise they would totally ignore you.
I speak fluent French and it made no difference at all to their aloofness. 😂 I have only seen the front inside of the casino which apparently was all re done in 2019.
I was told that there is a secret underground from the hotel to the casino, but haven't experienced that.
The best experience I had was to be invited onto some of the massive yachts. Even the vases onboard were the size of a fridge freezer, everything so large and money dripping off people with designer clothes etc.
The road in Monte Carlo is the race track and many times I would drive with the children I nannyed for, pretending to be a race driver 😊 had great fun 🚗😊
Enjoyed your video, lovely to remember and to see the changes. I still prefer living on the Greek Islands, people are so friendly. Maybe you can visit one of them one day 😊

I have found that The Ritz is absolutely, the best at making guests feel welcomed and at least where I stayed, you wouldn't find a bit of chipped furniture, I assure you. The timely service is world class, and the food is superb. A stroll down the hall with anything remotely resembling crystal, hanging from the ceiling, is indeed, just that, and exclusively, the best sort! I will always love The Ritz. I enjoyed your video. It was most informative, and I'll certainly, think twice before staying at The Hotel de Paris.

For all the hype, I'd say not up to par. Torn pillow, chipped bedside tables, stuffy staff...I'd say no to this one!

Tim is like our secret mole in the world of the rich.

[mashenka]

I know plenty of rich people, that don’t look particularly rich. They don’t wear flashy clothing nor expensive jewellery/ watches……they are worth over 100 million.- 500 million…Rich screams, Wealth whispers…customer service staff must never judge..nor should anyone..

[rawlyroo]

Your reviews have so much value because they are balanced honest and come from a point of view of an ordinary person.
This is so refreshing.
I'm so surprised at the service taking so long .

[dianeyoung]

The best part of that hotel is that view from the balcony.

[bellabell]

My son and his wife are obsessed with your vlogs. They’ve got me hooked too💕🇨🇦

[kristinafreeman]

Tim, the more you stay at these posh 5*+ hotels the more I'm thinking if you stay at a 3 or 4* hotel you'd get the same service with more of a smile.

[anthonykoller]

I noticed that some of the best hotels in the world can be the worst in the world for missing the little things that can ruin the experience of staying at the hotel

Thank you for being humble enough to show your reaction to the helicoptor take-off.

[naomicampagne]

Staff snobbery, tasteless pudding, torn linen. No thank you.
