The turnkey stay

An exclusive creation by the Sporting Monte-Carlo, SOUL! celebrates the flamboyant legacy of African-American music, from the rock'n'roll of Chuck Berry and Little Richard to today's sounds, in an electrifying dinner-show at the Salle des Étoiles. Preceded by the Ultramarine Girls Band performing over 150 pop, rock and Latin hits, the evening begins at 8:30pm with dinner followed by the show at 10:30pm, under a roof open to the Monegasque sky. An electric summer night in the most glamorous setting on the Riviera. Larvotto and its lights become the stage for a pure jet-set moment.
