MonéGasque Hotel Invites Designer Refurbishment

The Hotel Métropole in Monte-Carlo has invited designer Karl Lagerfeld to redesign its exterior. The fashion world’s most prolific multi-tasker, designer Karl Lagerfeld, is branching out in to the world of luxury hotels. Having cut his teeth with a suite made from chocolate for ice cream giant Magnum, the Chanel creative director is redesigning a hotel in Monaco – home to one or two of his haute couture customers. The Hotel Métropole in Monte-Carlo has invited Lagerfeld to make over its exterior premises including the pool, terrace, gardens and a new Joel Robuchon restaurant. The first instalment of the project will be unveiled in July, but in the meantime, Lagerfeld has composed some frescos to create a feel of the hotel’s new look.
