Shangri-La

Located along Boulevard Albert 1er, Shangri-La stands at the heart of Monaco’s picturesque harbour area. This apartment building offers residents panoramic views of Port Hercules and the breathtaking surrounding landscape. Renowned as a hub of activity for both locals and visitors, the area is ideal for those seeking entertainment and excitement during their stay in Monaco.

Shangri-La is a modern, 13-storey waterfront development that has earned a reputation for its exceptional views, particularly of the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix. During the highly anticipated event, the terrace suites become a prime location for VIP guests to enjoy the race. As a resident of Shangri-La, you have the privilege of watching the Grand Prix from the comfort of your own apartment, a luxury few can claim.

Beyond the Grand Prix season, Shangri-La offers a wealth of activities and attractions. The residence is just steps away from Monte-Carlo’s renowned restaurants, high-end shops, and cultural landmarks.

The residence offers a full-service concierge, security systems, and proximity to the main attractions of Monaco.

Port Hercules, located just below Shangri-La, is steeped in history and local legend. According to ancient myth, some 3,000 years ago, the demigod Hercules played a key role in constructing the road that connected northern Italy to northern Spain, passing through what is now Monaco. This feat led to the founding of the colony of Monoikos (later Monaco) by Greek seclers, who named the port in honour of their hero.

Over the centuries, Port Hercules has evolved significantly. The modern port, largely constructed in the mid-1920s, has undergone several upgrades, including major renovations in the 1970s and further modifications in 2003 to accommodate cruise ships. The port also features in the cultural memory of Monaco, from the honeymoon departure of Prince Rainier Il and Grace Kelly in 1956 to a notable scene in the James Bond film “Goldeneye” in the early 1990s.

Today, Port Hercules remains a vital part of Monaco’s identity, hosting events and serving as a gateway to the Mediterranean.
