Set within the storied walls of the Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo, just steps from Place du Casino, the Bar Américain doesn’t ask for attention – it earns it.
Bathed in golden light, framed by mahogany panels, soft jazz, and the hush of polished leather, this is the kind of place you don’t walk into. You arrive.
Some places dazzle. Others stay with you.
This bar does both – quietly.
A Riviera Icon with the Soul of a Jazz Club
Slip into one of the curved armchairs, and you’ll understand why this room has become legend.
There’s a rhythm to it- an old-world glamour held steady by candlelight and saxophone.
The atmosphere is hushed, but alive. The kind of place where nothing is rushed, and everything feels just right.
You might come for an early drink.
Or drift in after midnight, when the piano is softer and the glasses shine a little more.
What to Sip, When the Day Is Ready to Fade
The drinks? Elegant, exact, and never overstated.
Signature cocktails, rare spirits, and vintage wines served with the kind of grace that doesn’t need performance.
Whether it’s a dry Martini, something citrus and herbal, or a deep pour of whisky that holds the room still for a second – everything here has been thought through, but nothing feels rehearsed.
You’ll find yourself sipping slower. Listening more.
Letting the drink carry the mood instead of the other way around.
Not Just a Stop – A Setting
There are places made for a quick aperitif, and there are those that invite you to stay.
Bar Américain is both – a timeless pause before dinner, or the last chapter of a beautiful night.
It’s not trendy. It’s true.
And in a city that so often celebrates what’s new, that kind of permanence feels quietly powerful.
Immerse in a jazzy, elegant & glamour atmosphere at Le Bar Américain, located in the heart of the hoteldeparismc. At the menu: iconic & signature cocktails and live music every evenings!

FAQ - Gently Answered
Do I need a reservation?
Not always, but it helps – especially if you’re coming for a late drink or want a seat close to the music. It’s not the kind of place that ever feels packed, but the best corners tend to fill up without fuss.
Is there live music?
Most evenings, yes. A little piano. Some jazz. Never loud, never trying too hard – just the kind of sound that settles into the room and softens everything around it.
What should I wear?
Think quiet elegance. A dress that moves well, a blazer with presence. Nothing overly formal, but you’ll feel better if you’ve made an effort. This room appreciates the gesture.
Can I come in just for one drink?
Absolutely. Many people do. It’s the sort of place where one drink often turns into two – not because of the time, but because of the feeling. There’s no pressure to stay, but you just might.
What makes this place different?
It’s hard to explain until you’re sitting there. The light, the hum of conversation, the way the staff knows exactly when to appear and when to let you be. It’s not about being trendy – it’s about being timeless.
Is it more of a quiet bar or a social one?
Somewhere in between. You can have a quiet conversation or sit in silence with a view. But if you want to people-watch or soak up a little atmosphere, it offers that too – without ever losing its calm.
Is it a good place for a special night?
Yes. Whether you’re celebrating something or just feel like making an ordinary evening feel more beautiful, it rises to the moment – gracefully, without asking for attention.
