This episode
You have €10,000 to spend on one unforgettable night in Monaco. Where would you stay — and what would you do with the money?
One night. €10,000 each. Monaco. Harriet chooses a sea-view suite at the Hôtel de Paris… and gets McDonald’s delivered. Daddy decides hotels are boring and chooses a luxury catamaran in Monaco harbour — although there may be a small issue involving the budget. Same money. Very different Monaco. Who wins?
Enter the battleThe budget
€10,000
Daddy gets €10,000. Harriet gets €10,000. You have to choose one place to stay for one night in Monaco. Your accommodation must come out of the budget. Anything left can be spent on food, room service or whatever else makes your night better. Everything must be genuinely bookable and use real prices. No freebies, favours or “Daddy knows someone.” Go over €10,000 and technically you’ve broken the rules — although Daddy may already be challenging the definition of “technically.” Then we decide whose night we'd actually rather have.
