The Lycée Rainier III (Formally Lycée Technique et Hôtelier de Monaco) celebrates ten years at its new location, having relocated in 2013.

As the Sovereign specified in his speech, at the opening of the new college, in 2013: “The delivery of this building is part of the constant improvement of teaching resources in the service of the education of our youth. This, new, bright building, is equipped with specialized rooms allowing students to best prepare for their future profession.”

The Lycée Rainier III of Monaco is a prestigious establishment in the Principality. It welcomes pupils from Monaco, but also those from neighbouring municipalities.
Courses cover a wide spectrum of professions within the hotel and catering industry. These courses are characterized by high-level support, carried out by teams of teachers, recognized for their commitment and professionalism.

A practical approach to our courses includes students welcoming you to our onsite Restaurant, Le Cordon d’Or, where students are in the kitchen and in the dining room, supervised by their teachers, to offer lunches and dinners as part of their training.

Lycée Rainier III is proud to number many of the Principality’s chefs and hospitality professionals as past students and looks forward to continuing to promote the sector, as a career choice, and to continuing to train new students, to ensure an ample supply of new talent for the Monaco hospitality industry.

Entries are now open for 2025.
