The new CHPG in Monaco (Princess Grace Hospital Centre), located in the Jardin Exotique district, is one of the most ambitious healthcare projects ever undertaken by the Principality. Beyond a mere reconstruction, Monaco is rethinking its healthcare system in depth. The goal is to address the medical, technological, and environmental challenges of the 21st century.
This new hospital reflects Monaco’s commitment to strengthening its international attractiveness. It also ensures that residents, cross-border workers, and patients from around the world have access to healthcare that is modern, efficient, and sustainable. Far more than a standard hospital, the new Princess Grace Hospital Centre is part of a broader strategic vision for the future of the Principality.
The CHPG gradually replaces the historic hospital, which had become inadequate to meet the rapidly evolving medical practices and contemporary standards of care, safety, and comfort.
The project has an estimated budget of over €1 billion, with a timeline extending to 2032, making it one of the largest public investments ever realized in Monaco. The construction is carried out on an occupied site, with the hospital remaining operational throughout the works. A major technical challenge in a dense urban environment.
This phased modernization ensures continuous care for Monegasque, cross-border, and international patients, while anticipating future medical needs.
The architecture of Monaco’s new hospital is designed to place the human experience at the center of the care pathway. Natural light, fluid circulation, and open views to the outdoors structure the entire facility.
Internal patios, rooftop gardens, and wide openings overlooking the Mediterranean Sea contribute to a therapeutic environment, promoting psychological well-being and recovery. This approach reflects a modern conception of healthcare, where the built environment plays a central role.
From an environmental standpoint, the new CHPG is part of an ambitious sustainability initiative, aiming for HQE (High Environmental Quality) certification. This includes rooftop solar panels and measures to reduce carbon footprint and energy consumption. A hospital at the heart of Monaco thus represents a key project aligned with the Principality’s ecological transition.
The Princess Grace Hospital Centre will eventually have approximately 490 beds distributed across modern, specialized units, including psychiatry. This expanded capacity will efficiently meet the needs of the Monegasque population and demographic changes.
The new hospital will feature 22 state-of-the-art operating theatres and several hybrid rooms combining surgery with advanced medical imaging.
These cutting-edge facilities will enable faster, safer, and less invasive procedures, particularly for complex pathologies. Patient comfort is a central focus of the project: 85% of rooms will be single occupancy, some with sea views, and the hospital will provide dedicated spaces for patients of all ages, including families and children.
These enhancements ensure a more humane hospitalization experience in line with the highest international standards.
The Belvédère building was inaugurated in April 2025 by H.S.H. Prince Albert II. It represents a key milestone in the realization of the new CHPG in Monaco. This phase allows for the relocation of certain services to free up space for subsequent construction stages.
The Belvédère hosts the Blood Donation Centre, strengthening Monaco’s autonomy in blood transfusions. It also houses an anatomical pathology laboratory dedicated to molecular biology.
These facilities significantly improve service speed and diagnostic accuracy, particularly in oncology.
Building a hospital of this scale in the heart of the Principality is an exceptional technical challenge. The CHPG construction site is limited in space, with substantial urban constraints.
The necessary developments and close coordination between Monegasque authorities, engineers, and contractors demonstrate the complexity of the project. This ambitious undertaking directly reflects Monaco’s expertise and innovation in public infrastructure.
The new Princess Grace Hospital Centre extends far beyond the medical domain. It represents a major economic and strategic lever for Monaco. In the short term, construction generates numerous direct and indirect jobs, which will attract new residents to the Principality. In the long term, it enhances Monaco’s appeal to top-tier healthcare professionals and international patients, as well as investors and future residents.
For these latter groups, the presence of a world-class hospital in Monaco is a decisive factor in terms of quality of life.
With the new CHPG in Monaco, the Principality reaffirms its ambition to be at the forefront of European medicine. Technological innovation, patient comfort, environmental sustainability, and continuity of care form the pillars of this major project.
Far more than a hospital, the new Princess Grace Hospital Centre symbolizes Monegasque excellence and is a key factor in Monaco’s attractiveness, today and for decades to come.
Initial services are expected to welcome patients from 2026, with full completion of the site scheduled for 2032.
The new CHPG will have approximately 490 beds, distributed across various specialized units.
State-of-the-art medical equipment, improved comfort, single rooms, sea views, and a modernized care pathway.
It strengthens healthcare provision, enhances the Principality’s international attractiveness, and improves residents’ quality of life.
