Hermitage Hotel Monte-Carlo by SBM, Monaco

Interior Design: SBM

Hôtel Hermitage has been an upscale and luxurious destination since its creation at the dawn of the 20th century. With a neoclassical exterior, it stands proudly amongst orange and olive trees, gazing out onto the Mediterranean Sea.

The romantic interiors are designed in the style of La Belle Époque. Tai Ping textiles accentuate the charm of the elegant space. The bedroom carpets swirl enchanting loops. A classic motif in discreet neutrals runs down and around the spiral staircase. The hallway rug carries on the theme of understated refinement. Etched vegetation stands out against recessed stripes for a satisfying contrast in pile height, creating the illusion of crushed pink velvet when seen from afar.
