I have just had one of the most amazing weekends in...forever! I went on a little solo trip to Monte Carlo, Monaco for 4 days! I AM IN LOVE!!
I stayed at the most beautiful hotel, EVER! The Fairmont Hotel. It is safe to say I am totally in love and am already looking into when I can go back again! This is the view from the roof...
I stayed in one of the garden rooms which had a gorgeous view of the central garden from my balcony! I only wish I took more pictures!
The room itself was massive! It had 2 huge king size beds even though it was just me staying there. A huge chest of drawers below the TV. A mini bar selection shelf AND a fridge! A little desk with a internet cable for your laptop! 2 huge wardrobes as you walked in and then a chair, side table and lamp in the corner!
The bathroom was floor to ceiling white/grey marble and was to die for! Literally all the goals! I had
my own little selection of shower goodies and products to use too!
Outside was a little table and chairs set and a sun lounger! My balcony had the sun in the late afternoon and was so peaceful to just sit out there and catch the last of the rays! Not to mention, I had the view of the Casino/Opera House from there too!
My trip here wasn't a spontaneous one. I came to see The Bodyguard! You may or may not know of my love for Alexandra Burke and her role in The Bodyguard tour. Alex was coming to the end of her time in the show and her final performances were in Monaco at the Grimaldi Forum so of course I HAD to be there. There was no questioning it. I went to the final 3 shows and it was just as amazing over there as it was in the UK. I do think the sun and the amazing weather made it all that little bit better!
The one thing I googled before I left the UK was "where is Sephora" and that was my first stop when I went out exploring! It was in the most beautiful underground shopping centre - The Metropole! It was filled with designer stores and little french boutiques and was just so cute! The Sephora wasn't massive but I still managed to spend most of my money in there!
Unknown to me, the Longines Tour (Show Jumping) was out there whilst I was there so I strolled down to the harbour and sat and watched all the riders in the practice ring for the afternoon. There was always something to do out there, it wasn't at all boring!
As far as destinations go, this is without a doubt one of the most aesthetically pleasing places I have ever visited! This was the 5.30am sunrise from the Saphir24 bar in my hotel...
Keep your eyes peeled for a few more Monaco related posts!
