Capacity, utilisation and geography
of Monaco’s hotel system.
The hotel sector offers a way to examine how a relatively limited accommodation supply is used throughout the year and how capacity, hotel category and length of stay relate to one another. This section brings together statistics on hotel establishments, rooms, beds, arrivals and overnight stays; each variable retains its own unit and reference period. The main reference year is 2024, supplemented by observations from 2019 onwards and establishment profiles with their own dates. Although publications covering 2025 were identified, certain results and their year-on-year comparisons could not be reconciled with the accessible originals. This edition therefore distinguishes the reference year from the review date. The analysis describes the hotel population measured by the sources; it does not represent every visitor, every form of accommodation or, without further geographical reconciliation, a complete territorial census.

01 / MONACO IN FIGURES The hotel system at a glance
Establishments within the statistical scope.
Published inventory; not available room-nights.
Reported bed spaces; not equivalent to rooms.
Calculated from 2 025 rooms in 4–5-star hotels.
Occupied / available room-nights, aggregated.
Ratio of person-nights to arrivals.
Inventories are checked by summing categories. Touriscope corroborates flows and utilisation but does not provide a second independent measurement of the number of beds here.
02 / MONACO IN FIGURES Structure of hotel supply
| Category | Hotels | Rooms | Beds | Share of rooms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2–3 stars | 5 | 474 | 1 200 | 19,0% |
| 4 stars | 4 | 1 376 | 3 574 | 55,1% |
| 5 stars | 4 | 649 | 1 355 | 26,0% |
| Total | 13 | 2 499 | 6 129 | 100,0% |
03 / MONACO IN FIGURES Evolution of hotel capacity
The bed series is retained in the research dataset but is not used as a trend: reported changes have not been reconciled with physical or methodological changes. No general statistical break has been demonstrated, but full homogeneity is not assumed either.
04 / MONACO IN FIGURES Hotel demand
Common count scale: 0–1 000 000 · teal = arrivals · burgundy = overnight stays
| Year | Arrivals persons |
Overnight stays person-nights |
Average length of stay nights |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 377 493 | 930 481 | 2,46 | 65,9% |
| 2020 | 172 038 | 405 690 | 2,36 | 28,5% |

| 2023 | 341 248 | 861 170 | 2,52 | 58,4% |
| 2024 | 348 259 | 895 354 | 2,57 | 61,5% |
* 2021: the later edition is used, with 565 525 overnight stays, compared with 566 536 in the previous edition. The change between versions of the statistic is flagged; its cause is undocumented. † Occupancy for 2021 and 2022 is excluded from this table because of discrepancies involving the denominators; the figures and the problem are documented in the methodological notes and verification register.
05 / MONACO IN FIGURES Seasonality

| Published annual total | 348 259 | 895 354 | 61,5% | 2,57 |
The monthly figures sum to 895 353 person-nights, compared with the published annual total of 895 354. The one-unit residual is retained without artificially allocating it to a month. Annual occupancy is calculated from accumulated room-nights; it is not the simple mean of these percentages.

Nationality is what is measured. “English ” preserves the meaning of the original label “Anglais”; it is not silently expanded into a United Kingdom residence category. “American” corresponds to the source’s “Américains” category. The list does not include every nationality and is not expected to add up to 100%.
07 / MONACO IN FIGURES Geography of the hotel sector
The tourism directory identifies establishments and addresses. Reference areas are distinguished from administrative neighbourhoods or districts, which require specific cartographic validation. The following capacity figures come from documents with different dates and are not added together to reconstruct the 2024 total.
| Hotel | Category | Rooms | Address | Spatial reference | Capacity reference | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo | 5 stars | 206 | Place du Casino, Monaco | Casino / Monte-Carlo | Undated directory | S10 |

| Monte-Carlo Beach | 5 stars | — † | 2 avenue Princesse Grace, Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France | Outside Monaco | Undated directory | S10 |
Hermitage: the 2026 press kit, reporting 259 rooms, takes precedence over the undated directory, which lists 262. Métropole: 125 is a documented historical capacity, not a post-renovation confirmation. No concentration measure is calculated by neighbourhood or district, and no map is drawn using unverified boundaries. Spatial references are indicative, not an administrative classification.
08 / MONACO IN FIGURES Openings, closures and structural changes
The chronology distinguishes a physical opening, construction work, a temporary closure and a change of affiliation. No event is automatically treated as a net change in the total number of rooms.
Monte-Carlo Bay: opening
Addition of an establishment, documented in the SBM chronology. No net change in territorial capacity is estimated here.
Hôtel de Paris: transformation
The SBM annual report documents the restoration of capacity following the works. Average capacity over a financial year and the closing inventory are not interchangeable.
Miramar: renovation works
The yearbook identifies the establishment as undergoing works. Its reopening is not automatically credited with the aggregate increase in hotel numbers from 2021 to 2022.
Temporary closures during the pandemic
SBM documents closures and exceptions for resident guests. A temporary operational closure is not equivalent to the permanent removal of inventory.
Columbus: renovation and change of affiliation
The refurbishment is documented; the affiliation with Curio in December 2023 concerns an existing hotel. It is not counted as a new physical opening.
Métropole: renovation
The establishment reports 45 renovated rooms and suites. That number does not measure a net expansion or confirm the total capacity after the works.
A comprehensive inventory of permanent closures or classification changes has not been completed. That gap should not be interpreted as an absence of change.
09 / MONACO IN FIGURES What the figures show
Rooms increased by 1,22% between 2019 and 2024. Arrivals in 2024 were 7,74% below 2019 and overnight stays were 3,78% below 2019.
Relative to 2023, arrivals rose by 2,05% and overnight stays by 3,97%. Rooms in 4–5-star hotels accounted for 81,03% of the 2024 inventory.
Recovery in utilisation and changes in inventory are separate processes: a similar aggregate capacity can coexist with different volumes and lengths of stay.
Supply has a high proportion of upper-category hotels and markedly seasonal utilisation. These data do not allow profitability, guest spending or causal dependence on particular events to be estimated.
10 / MONACO IN FIGURES Methodological notes
Consult definitions, calculations and limitations
- Reference periods. Annual and monthly basis for 2024; series for 2019–2024. Individual profiles show their own dates or the absence of a date. Reviewed: 1 October 2026. The year 2024 is not labelled as the latest year published.
- Coverage. The IMSEE/DTC statistical scope is retained. A hotel, an accommodation company, a residence and a rental dwelling are not equivalent concepts. The hotel-by-hotel panel has not been reconciled with the Principality’s territorial boundary.
- Units. A person-arrival is one recorded stay. Two people staying three nights yield two arrivals, six person-nights and three room-nights. The records do not allow a count of unique visitors.
- Occupancy. Accumulated occupied rooms / available rooms are used. For 2024: 555 848 / 903 676 × 100 = 61,5097%, rounded to 61,5%. The calculation does not divide by beds or by an inventory mechanically multiplied by 365.
- Average length of stay. Person-nights / person-arrivals. The measure is expressed in nights per arrival; IMSEE’s use of the term “day” does not change the ratio. It is neither a median nor the stay length of a typical guest.
- Triangulation. IMSEE and Touriscope agree on the main 2024 flows. They are separate publications, but independent data collection has not been established. The totals for hotels, rooms and beds are also checked arithmetically by category; this internal check does not replace a second source on the inventories.
- Statistical versions and inconsistencies. The replacement of the 2021 overnight-stays figure in a later edition is flagged: 565 525 versus 566 536. For 2021 occupancy, one retrospective publishes 41,5%, while the ratio in the annual table rounds to 41,6%. For 2022, 516 474 / 870 066 × 100 gives 59,36%, differing from the 57,4% published in the bulletin. The figures are not forcibly reconciled: these rates are excluded from the main series.
- Rounding and residuals. In 2024, monthly figures sum to 895 353 overnight stays, compared with 895 354 published; occupied room-nights sum to 555 849, compared with 555 848. The category breakdown also differs by one room-night. In 2023, the monthly totals differ by one unit for arrivals and overnight stays. The original totals are retained; no undocumented cause is assigned to the residual.
- Access to sources. Some IMSEE originals and the DTC directory could not be opened directly. Indexed tables were consulted and, for the 2025 edition, an identified reproduction. Availability of all original links is not certified. The register specifies the consultation method.
- Update concerning 2025. The 2026 yearbook has been identified. Public-facing sources do not fully agree on occupancy, year-on-year comparisons and the non-EU share. Candidate values are documented in the file of data not adopted; they are not mixed into the reference series.
- Geography. Areas in the profiles are spatial references. Without a dated inventory and validated administrative allocation, room shares by neighbourhood or district are not calculated. The commercial name “Monaco” does not establish that a property lies within Monaco. Capacities from different dates are not added together.
- Calculations. All original calculations are explicitly identified and show their operands. Rates of change use (final value / initial value − 1) × 100; the occupancy range is expressed in percentage points. Historical bed counts are not interpreted as a verified physical trend.
