Christmas in Monaco: Santa's Carriage Rides for Kids at Hotel Hermitage

Forget the Monaco Grand Prix. The Hotel Hermitage is inviting young guests to take a spin around Monte Carlo in Santa’s Christmas carriage this holiday season. The luxury hotel on the Med is getting dolled up for the holidays, and families are welcome to join in the yuletide merriment. On Christmas Eve, the hotel will host a Christmas Tea in the Salle Belle Époque, with homemade pastries galore. Children will be invited to creative workshops where they can make baubles, trees and stars before climbing into Father Christmas’s carriage for a lap around the legendary Place du Casino. Later that evening, the Christmas Eve Dinner promises to be a lavish feast. And while you’re tucking into a memorable meal, Santa will slip into the children’s bedrooms and leave gifts under the Christmas tree.

The special “Family Christmas” offer includes accommodations in adjoining rooms, with a beautiful decorated tree in the kids’ room, buffet breakfast and Christmas gifts for the kids included. Priced from 640 euros in a Deluxe Room and 730 euros in a Exclusive Seaview Room, the package also includes Christmas Tea and Christmas Eve dinner for two adults and two children under 12 years old.
