Columbus Hotel Monaco

Columbus Hotel Monte-Carlo is a 3-star boutique hotel located at 23, Avenue des Papalins in the Fontvieille area of western Monaco. It was created by Scottish hotelier Ken McCulloch in partnership with Formula One racing car driver David Coulthard[1][2] until McCulloch sold his shares in 2008 to concentrate in developing his Dakota hotels in the UK. Coulthard sold out to London and Regional Properties in April 2010.[3] The hotel was opened on April 21, 2001 by Rainier III, Prince of Monaco.
