Forty years after establishing itself in the Principality of Monaco, Edmond de Rothschild is moving to its new headquarters in La Condamine. This new 5,300-square-meter building will bring together the private bank’s 270 employees in Monaco under one roof, with the goal of fostering greater collaboration among teams and enhancing the client experience.
Edmond de Rothschild also tangibly reflects the uniqueness of its model. It will serve as the meeting point for multiple areas of expertise from across its Ecosystem: private banking, Edmond de Rothschild wines—displayed in a wine club—and the perfume house Caron, which is opening its first boutique in the Principality.
Forty Years of Presence in Monaco
Present in Monaco since 1986, Edmond de Rothschild takes a new step in its development in the Principality with the inauguration of its new headquarters, located opposite Place d’Armes and the La Condamine market. Built by SCI Esperanza and designed by J.B. Pastor & Fils, the building features eleven floors, seven of which are dedicated to Edmond de Rothschild’s offices.
Conceived as an elegant, open, and luminous townhouse, this new headquarters brings together all of Edmond de Rothschild Monaco’s private banking expertise: bespoke banking, discretionary management, advisory, real estate, wealth planning, and life insurance brokerage.
A Building Designed for Private Banking Operations
The workspaces, distributed between the first and fifth floors, have been designed to encourage knowledge sharing and close collaboration among teams. Abundant natural light, meeting rooms, gathering areas on each floor, and open circulation spaces contribute to creating a work environment tailored to combine precision, agility, and collective intelligence.
The ground floor, as well as the sixth and seventh floors, are dedicated to client reception. The building features eighteen reception rooms, some of them modular, in addition to two large landscaped terraces offering a 360-degree panoramic view of the Principality.
In this environment, the client experience reflects the standards of a luxury Maison: discreet and elegant spaces, carefully selected materials, meticulous attention to acoustics and lighting, and a smooth, comfortable journey at every stage of the visit. A valet parking service and a British-style taxi decorated in the Maison’s distinctive colors and made available to clients complete this experience, designed with the utmost care for detail.
Sustainable Architecture Integrated into the Urban Fabric
The building has earned the BD2M Bronze certification, the Monegasque certification for sustainable Mediterranean buildings. Created by the Principality’s Government, this certification evaluates buildings based on various environmental criteria, including insulation, material selection, and occupant well-being. Additionally, the building incorporates a system that helps optimize its energy consumption.
Its architecture draws inspiration from the characteristic Mediterranean style of La Condamine, featuring a brick facade with glazed tiles, facade cabochons, and wrought-iron balconies. The result is a building that seamlessly integrates into the urban fabric of an ever-evolving neighborhood.
A Family Ecosystem Gathered Under One Roof
Inside, the House’s heritage is expressed through subtle details: the red, blue, and yellow of the family coat of arms, the compass, the five arrows, and references to Château Clarke, Gitana, La Ferme des 30 Arpents, Megève, and Edmond de Rothschild wines.
Located on the sixth floor, the 25-square-meter Wine Club pays tribute to Edmond de Rothschild wines from France, Spain, New Zealand, Argentina, and South Africa. Designed as an intimate and welcoming space, it extends client relationships through a tasting experience reflecting the regions, expertise, and art de vivre characteristic of the House.
On the ground floor sits Caron’s first boutique in Monaco, an 83-square-meter space designed by Casper Mueller Kneer Architects under the artistic direction of Olivia de Rothschild. Exposed concrete, brushed metal, and subtle tones combine to create a sensory experience. At the center of the boutique, a monumental reinterpretation of Caron’s iconic perfume fountains pays tribute to one of the Maison’s historical traditions.
Ariane de Rothschild, CEO of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, commented: “For more than a century and a half, the spirit of Edmond de Rothschild has been an inspiration. We have remained true to its principles without losing sight of the importance of reinventing ourselves. It is this constant commitment that allows us to stay attuned to our times. This new headquarters expresses who we are at our core: an independent, family-owned group, mindful of places, traditions, and human relationships.”
For his part, Gérard Ohresser, CEO of Edmond de Rothschild Monaco, added: “This new headquarters allows us to gather our 270 employees under one roof, strengthen the bonds across our business lines and areas of expertise, and welcome our clients in the spirit of hospitality that defines our House. Designed specifically around our needs and ambitions, the building reflects our way of working: closeness to clients, high-quality interactions, attention to detail, and a strong ability to connect and integrate the various areas of expertise within our Ecosystem.”
