Enchanting Christmas at the Métropole Monte-Carlo

Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo is being transformed into a world of fun and magic - the world of Alice in Wonderland - until 6 January 2012 for all to enjoy! Just a glimpse of what they have to offer: Christmas in Wonderland The “Christmas in Wonderland” theme is intended for both adults and children.  It takes its inspiration from the famous story by Lewis Caroll, revisited by Miss Rose, the hotel’s stylist and florist. As you enter, a giant Christmas tree sets the scene, decorated with the theme colours – candy pink and acid green – accented with touches of gold, barley sugar, giant biscuits and pocket watches. The Wonderland Aperitif At cocktail time, or for a gourmet rendez-vous, Eddy Montana, Head Barman at the Hôtel Métropole Monte-Carlo, is offering two delicious, brightly coloured cocktails for all ages. Cocktails for adults and children Adults can try the “Wonderland,” made from lychees, vodka and strawberry foam. Meanwhile, children can enjoy their own non-alcoholic cocktail, the “Tiger Lily,” which is based on Tagada strawberries, a lychee infusion, apple juice and traditional lemonade, decorated with candy floss and other treats.
