Hotel Benkiraï
Hotel Benkiraï is a chic, sober-yet-playful design hotel that is currently lending a more contemporary edge to St Tropez's flash-trash reputation. Remodelled by French designer Patrick Jouin (commissioned by Alain Ducasse to design both Spoon Byblos and the Plaza Athénée), this once-modest, family-run hotel on the outskirts of town has been transformed into a smart, minimalist haven. There are 39 bedrooms and three suites built around multi-level terraces made from benkiraï, a rich-red Indonesian wood. It is quietly hip, geared to a discreet, international crowd with a taste for exotic cocktails taken poolside rather than parading with the bronzed and beautiful at Club 55. The cornflower-blue bedrooms and white bathrooms are small, spare but comfortable. Everything from white lacquered nightstands to the modular blue sinks with matching blue soap puts the fun into functional. Come sunset, the mood turns festive when showbiz and music-industry types flock to the restaurant for Thai chef Oth Sombath's exquisite specialities: crispy shrimp macaroons with pineapple sauce; steamed salmon wrapped in banana leaves; and chocolate spring rolls for pudding.

Check out this city by helicopter, car, or luxury yacht it's more royalty, supermodels and celebrities here than a Hollywood awards show.The Principality, known for its lack of taxes, high rolling gambling and unabashed wealth.
Amber Lounge is the ultimate in exclusivity. Sonia Irvine, sister of racecar driver Eddie Irvine, opened this lounge, club and restaurant last year. It’s closed 362 days a year (363 this year), but come May, the lounge is hopping with celebs and personalities like Prince Albert, Bono, The Edge, Wesley Snipes, Ronaldo, Heidi Klum and Helena Christensen. Located in Grimaldi Forum, the sea-front lounge is 200 meters from the entrance to the tunnel on the F-1 Circuit, and is a favorite among drivers like Irvine and Schumacher. Veuve Cliquot tables are available for 3850 Euros per night, while an evening at one of the Cristal tables is 7500 Euros. There is also a Moroccan VIP terrace looking over the ocean that serves canapés and drinks.
Le Point Rouge attracts the jet-setting tanned and fabulous, including celebrity party-goers. It's run by Frank Fiorito, who has been on the forefront of ‘hot’ for 15 years (having worked at Jimmy’z, Caves du Roy in St. Tropez and Olivia Valere in Marbella), the discothèque couldn’t help but make a splash with the nightlife-loving society. He has brought together all of the elements to make a unique, sophisticated yet über-chic evening. Le Point Rouge’s elegant and cozy lounge space is a great place to chill out with a bottle of Krug, Dom or Cristal, and the slate-walled and torch lit dance floor is fabulous if international music is going to move you
This is classic Monaco at its finest. Jimmy’z is one of the most famous bars in the world, known for beautiful clientele like Naomi Campbell, Bono and Lionel Richie, and an outdoor dance floor with extraordinary views of Monte-Carlo and the Mediterranean Sea. Created by French entertainer Régine, the nightclub is still going strong after 30 years and boasts a new interior design including an authentic “Gold Mine,” a private parlor and new bar.
Columbus Hotel reflects “Riviera chic,” it's all about the modern lifestyle of young jet-setters. The Columbus was opened in 2001 by Scottish hotelier Ken McCulloch and Formula One driver David Coulthard. Sleekly decorated by Amanda Rosa (who is also McCulloch’s wife — creating a formidable team), the Columbus’ interior is accented with leather, marble, wood, and stone, in soft lavender, gray and beige. The elegant yet contemporary hotel offers views of the Mediterranean, mountains, and the Princess Grace Rose Gardens. It has a chic restaurant and bar, which celebs Naomi Campbell, David and Victoria Beckham and Princess Stephanie have been known to enjoy. You can “keep busy” at the Columbus by lounging at the swimming pool or on the private beach, or by playing tennis or golf. The hotel is also happy to assist in arranging a private helicop¬ter or luxury boat charter to allow you a new perspective on the Principality.
The brasserie style food at swanky Zebra Square is not to be missed when in Monte-Carlo. The bar/restaurant attracts models and celebrities as wellas foodies who know its sister restaurant in the 16th arrondissement in Paris. Although decorated a la safari (Zebra prints abound, as well as leather and velvet in hues of chocolate and sable), the restaurant does not offer African cuisine, but rather French fare, everything from tartars to tarts. Zebra Square’s menu is refined, inventive and modern. You can enjoy an intimate dinner inside or can sit outside overlooking the sea, taking in the panoramic views of luxury yachts while sipping on what we hear is a delicious vodka cocktail

Bobomania
The French embraced an expression to describe those who have it all: Bobo. The term is short for bourgeois and bohemian, two social castes no one ever expected to find mixed up together. French Bobos design their lifestyles in a mix that includes the rarest luxuries, middle-class classics, senior citizen string-collecting strategies and student-style cheap 'n' chic.
Just because Bobos are wealthy doesn't mean they have to wear establishment cashmere. And when they haven't a fortune to spend, Bobos will invest in the latest technology or an exotic vacation and feel privileged despite a shoestring budget. Bobos have what money can't buy: almost total freedom of choice. The definition of the group is highly educated folk who have one foot in the bohemian world of creativity and another foot in the bourgeois realm of ambition and worldly success. French Bobos seem more eager than most to pick up on the latest trends, be it the "trottinette" (scooter), cashmere teddy bears, Prada Sport sneakers or anything on the ground floor of Colette in Paris. They are mixing vintage with the latest Fendi and perhaps something trendy from the Parisian label Paul & Joe.
