Price & market
Le Mirabeau in the most expensive district in Monaco
Apartments in Le Mirabeau trade between 76,000 and 100,000 euros per square metre, with renovated sea-view units at the top of the range, up to 31 % above the Carré d'Or average, already the most expensive district in the Principality at 76,460 euros in 2026.
76,000 – 100,000 € Le Mirabeau · observed range per m², 2026
The top of the range is 31 % above the Carré d'Or average and 67 % above the Monaco average.
Range based on the average of listings observed in the building, cross-checked with asking prices recorded by Petrini Exclusive Real Estate over the first half of 2026. The internal spread is wide: renovated sea-view units sit at the top of the range, the others well below. These are asking prices, not recorded transaction prices: this order of magnitude informs the reader, it is neither a valuation nor a legally binding document. For a figure specific to one apartment, the agency carries out a documented valuation. In recorded prices, the Monaco average stands at 57,569 €/m² on 2025 resales (IMSEE).
The district · insider addresses
What residents really have on their doorstep
Le Mirabeau adjoins the Casino gardens: Place du Casino, the Métropole Shopping centre, the Opera House and the Thermes Marins are all a few minutes away on foot, and avenue Princesse Grace leads to the Larvotto beaches.
DiningCipriani Monte-Carlo
The Cipriani house occupies premises in the building. It is currently the only dining address within the residence.
ShoppingMétropole Shopping Monte-Carlo
The gallery of the Hôtel Métropole, its luxury houses and its restaurants, a few steps from the building. The residents' daily reflex.
WellnessThermes Marins Monte-Carlo
The Principality's great sea-water spa, between the Casino and the Hôtel de Paris. As the residence has no spa, this is the fallback within walking distance.
StageOpéra de Monte-Carlo · Salle Garnier
The Charles Garnier hall attached to the Casino, for opera, ballet and the concert season.
Grand PrixThe Mirabeau corner
The Monaco Grand Prix circuit runs at the foot of the building: the Mirabeau corner, which takes its name from the residence, is negotiated below its windows.
GardensThe Casino gardens
The building adjoins them. This is what explains the open outlook on the southern façade and the absence of anything opposite on that side.
Identity
Le Mirabeau at a glance
Le Mirabeau was built in 1973 by Société Civile Immobilière Le Mirabeau, a Monegasque company of the Rome-based Società Generale Immobiliare group, on the plot between avenue des Citronniers and rue du Portier, facing the sea.
| Addresses | 2 avenue des Citronniers and 1 avenue Princesse Grace, 98000 Monaco. The building occupies the plot between avenue des Citronniers and rue du Portier, adjoining the Casino gardens |
| Year built | 1973 |
| Developer | Société Civile Immobilière Le Mirabeau, a Monegasque company of the Società Generale Immobiliare group of Rome |
| Height | 81 metres over 26 floors, the twelfth tallest building in the Principality, in a district where buildings rarely exceed ten levels |
| Original programme | Two superimposed and self-contained parts: six lower levels of hotel, around one hundred rooms and suites, accessed from rue du Portier; twenty-one upper levels of residence, accessed from avenue des Citronniers. Two basement levels complete the whole |
| Number of units | 203 apartments in the original programme, from studios to four-room units. The entrance floor held 5 of them, the nineteen standard floors the rest, and the top floor 7 apartments each with private access to a roof terrace |
| Refurbishment | The hotel closed in December 2007. The levels it occupied were converted into homes during a three-year project completed in 2010, carried out by J.B. Pastor & Fils as delegated project manager and general contractor. The building has been fully residential ever since |
| Floor layout | The nineteen standard floors are divided into two independent blocks, each with its own vertical circulation |
| Apartments per floor | Ten apartments per floor in the original layout, identical on every standard level. The entrance floor held five, the grand hall taking up the rest of the plate. Units may have been merged since |
| Grand Prix view | The circuit runs at the foot of the building. Units 1 and 2 on each floor overlook the race, unit 1 in particular |
| Levels and entrances | The building is set into the slope and has two addresses on two levels. At the top, avenue des Citronniers serves the residence entrance and the main concierge desk, in the heart of the Carré d'Or. At the bottom, six levels down, the building opens onto the roundabout linking rue du Portier and avenue Princesse Grace: the lower address, 1 avenue Princesse Grace, used in particular by Cipriani |
| A shortcut between two districts | Because it links two road levels, the building takes its residents from avenue des Citronniers, in the heart of the Carré d'Or on the Monte-Carlo side, down to avenue Princesse Grace on the Larvotto side, from where Mareterra is reached on foot. Two of the most prestigious addresses in the Principality, linked by a single building |
| Resident institution | The Club des Résidents Étrangers de Monaco has its headquarters in the residence, at 1 avenue Princesse Grace |
| Dining | Cipriani Monte-Carlo occupies premises in the building. It is the only dining address in the residence to date |
| Orientation | Almost every unit enjoys an extensive sea view; some also have a secondary outlook onto the hills surrounding the Principality. Only the apartments numbered 5 face the mountain side |
| Loggias | Every apartment has at least one loggia. Anodised aluminium railings with teak handrails, electric roller shutters, blinds and sun shades |
| Structure | Reinforced concrete designed to earthquake-resistant standards, solid slab floors, reinforced sound insulation between slab and floor covering |
| Façades | Mineral coating based on selected quartz and pigments bound with synthetic resin, completed with stone and marble |
| Air conditioning | Central plant in the basement, distribution through fan coils in false ceilings, individual control in each apartment and the option to switch off when unoccupied |
| Parking | Two basement levels sized for more than 250 vehicles, protected by an automatic sprinkler system |
| A point of usage | The building takes its name from the address on which it was built, that of the former Mirabeau hotel. The Mirabeau corner on the Formula 1 circuit takes its name from the same place. Beware of a common confusion: Le Mirabeau today is a residence, not a hotel |

Agency note: the residence has no spa. The Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo, a few minutes away on foot, plays that role for most residents.
History & architecture
A building designed in two parts, now entirely residential
Le Mirabeau was designed in 1973 as two self-contained parts stacked on one another, a twenty-one-level residence above six levels of hotel; since the refurbishment completed in 2010, the whole building is residential.
The Carré d'Or is a low-rise district, where buildings rarely exceed ten levels. Le Mirabeau is the exception with its 81 metres, which places it among the twelve tallest structures in the Principality. That is what explains the nature of its views: from the upper levels, the eye passes over the Carré d'Or and opens onto the Mediterranean, something no low building in the same perimeter can offer. The building also adjoins the Casino gardens, which permanently frees part of its façades.
This position on the slope has a concrete consequence for daily life. The building has two addresses six levels apart: avenue des Citronniers at the top, in the heart of the Carré d'Or and the Monte-Carlo district; at the bottom, the roundabout linking rue du Portier and avenue Princesse Grace, on the Larvotto side. A resident therefore crosses their own building to move from one district to the other, and reaches Mareterra on foot. Other routes exist, but few Monegasque addresses connect the two most sought-after districts so directly.
The building was erected in 1973 by Société Civile Immobilière Le Mirabeau, a Monegasque company of the Rome group Società Generale Immobiliare, on the site of the former Mirabeau hotel from which it took its name. The programme stacked two entirely separate parts: six lower hotel levels served from rue du Portier, and twenty-one upper residential levels served from avenue des Citronniers, with lift banks completely independent from one part to the other. It is this hybrid design, rare in Monaco, that explains the level of equipment in the building: a pool, a solarium, a hairdressing salon, boutiques and a bar-restaurant were all in the original programme.
The hotel closed in December 2007. The levels it occupied were converted into homes during a three-year project completed in 2010, carried out by J.B. Pastor & Fils as delegated project manager and general contractor. Those hotel plates, deeper than the standard floors, made it possible to create apartments with volumes and terraces absent from the 1973 plans. Le Mirabeau has been fully residential ever since, something many online sources still confuse with the hotel that no longer exists.
The original specification provided for 203 apartments, from studios to four-room units, all with at least one loggia. The nineteen standard floors are divided into two independent blocks with separate circulation, and the top floor brings together seven apartments each with private access to a roof terrace. Almost every unit faces the sea; only the apartments numbered 5 look towards the hills. Those unit numbers remain the first question to ask when reading a listing, before even the floor area.
The technical care of the programme can still be read today: a reinforced concrete structure designed to earthquake-resistant standards, reinforced sound insulation between slab and floor, façades in quartz-and-pigment coating completed with stone and marble, loggia railings in anodised aluminium with teak handrails, central air conditioning with individual control, and two basement levels sized for more than 250 vehicles. The building and its apartments have been extensively modernised since, and some units reconfigured: two listings in the same building can therefore describe assets with nothing in common, as our analysis of price per square metre in Monaco explains.
One last element says a great deal about the profile of the residence: the Club des Résidents Étrangers de Monaco, the association that supports newcomers to the Principality, has its headquarters in the building. For anyone settling in Monaco, the address is therefore not only residential; it is also one of the entry points into the foreign community.
A word, finally, on our position. Petrini Exclusive Real Estate is based at 3 avenue des Citronniers, directly opposite the entrance to the residence. That proximity explains the knowledge we have of the building, unit by unit: it makes viewings simpler, it makes managing the apartments entrusted to us simpler, and it has already led us to market the rooftop of the building itself. Few Monegasque addresses can be followed this closely.
Le Mirabeau is one of the most sought-after buildings in Monaco. It sits at the heart of the Carré d'Or, with the Métropole shopping centre at its feet, and an apartment there finds a buyer or a tenant quickly. Its parking spaces are among the most coveted in the district.
Our agency is at 3 avenue des Citronniers, literally opposite the entrance to the residence. That is what makes our expertise on this building: we follow it daily, we know what the different units on the same floor are worth, and some apartments here have reached one hundred thousand euros per square metre.
At Le Mirabeau, the unit number tells you more than the floor area
Between a sea-facing apartment and a number 5 unit turned towards the hills, between a property still in its original configuration and one entirely reconfigured, between the top floor and a standard level, the differences in value inside the same building are considerable. Knowing which category a property falls into, and at what level the latest transactions were done, matters more than the asking price. It is this memory of the buildings, put together one by one over more than forty years, that makes it possible to place a price against the real market.
Frequently asked questions
Le Mirabeau in six questions
The most frequent questions about Le Mirabeau concern its price per square metre, its location, its swimming pool, its number of apartments, its restaurant and the possibility of renting there.
What is the price per m² at Le Mirabeau in Monaco?
Apartments at Le Mirabeau trade between 76,000 and 100,000 euros per square metre in 2026, against 76,460 euros for the Carré d'Or average and 59,929 euros for the Monaco average. Renovated sea-view units sit at the top of the range: internal differences come down to orientation, floor level and condition.
Where is the Le Mirabeau residence?
Le Mirabeau stands at 2 avenue des Citronniers and 1 avenue Princesse Grace in Monte-Carlo, on the plot between avenue des Citronniers and rue du Portier, adjoining the Casino gardens and facing the sea. Place du Casino and the Métropole Shopping centre are a few minutes away on foot.
Does Le Mirabeau have a swimming pool?
Yes. The building has a pool and a solarium available to residents, along with a fitness room and a 24-hour concierge service. This is an uncommon feature in the Carré d'Or. The residence has no spa, however.
How many apartments does Le Mirabeau have?
The original programme provided for 203 apartments, from studios to four-room units, spread over the twenty-one upper levels. The top floor brings together seven apartments each with private access to a roof terrace. The refurbishment completed in 2010 added homes in the former hotel levels, and some units have been reconfigured since.
Is Le Mirabeau a hotel or a residence?
Le Mirabeau today is a residence, and only a residence. The hotel that occupied its six lower levels closed in December 2007, and those areas were converted into apartments during the project completed in 2010. The confusion remains frequent online, where outdated hotel listings survive.
Is there a restaurant inside Le Mirabeau?
Yes. Cipriani Monte-Carlo occupies premises in the building and is to date the only dining address in the residence. The original 1973 programme already provided a bar-restaurant for occupants.
Can you rent an apartment at Le Mirabeau?
Yes, apartments at Le Mirabeau are offered both for rent and for sale. The residence remains one of the most sought after in the district, thanks to its pool, its concierge service and its parking. Part of the stock circulates outside public channels: the agency keeps the list of what is genuinely available in the building.
