Monaco Grand Prix™ Travel Packages

Where to start

The Monaco Grand Prix™ takes place right in the heart of the glitzy principality – surrounded by beautiful architecture and the Mediterranean Sea. That means there are lots of places to see the race from. But where will you get the best views?

On this page you will see our recommendations for the best vantage points in Monaco. These range from grandstand seats to the most jaw-dropping viewing locations.

The sheer number of yachts, apartments and other hospitality venues in Monaco can be overwhelming so we only recommend ones that we have tried and tested and that we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to our own family and friends. 

We have also checked out the views from many of the Monaco grandstands and would be happy to make recommendations to help you make the perfect choice.

Your preferred combination of vantage point and accommodation will ultimately determine the overall price of your Monaco Grand Prix™ experience. 

If this all sounds a little too much please just pick up the phone and call us on 0114 345 1977 and we can talk you through all the different options. We are open until 9pm Monday to Friday.

​YOUR ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO THE MONACO GRAND PRIX™

​One third of motorsport’s Triple Crown, the Monaco Grand Prix™ has pretty much everything a Formula One™ fan could want.

There’s the exhilarating street circuit, with its tight corners bending around narrow streets, its famous tunnel, and its beautiful straights that send the F1™ cars zooming by the harbour. There’s the event’s inspiring 85-year history, which has seen all-time greats like Senna, Schumacher and Prost take victory. And then there’s Monaco itself, a breathtaking destination whether you love Formula One™ or not.

There’s a truly unforgettable weekend to be had at the Monaco Grand Prix™ – but, as with all F1™ events, a little inside information goes a long way to making it truly special.

So here’s our Essential Guide to the best in accommodation, seats, hospitality and finishing touches.

See you in Monaco!

​​Where to stay during the Monaco Grand Prix™

The biggest question about where to stay during the Grand Prix™ is – Monaco or Nice?

In Monaco, you’ll be at the heart of the excitement. It’s a special feeling to be part of the world’s most famous race.

Staying in Monaco, you can also walk to and from your grandstand, yacht, apartment or hospitality suite. It’s more convenient and there’s no waiting for transfers. There’s also no need to leave the party early. Immediately after the race, Monaco’s bars and restaurants come alive. It’s an incredible atmosphere you don’t want to miss.

If you prefer the charming city of Nice, we provide regular transfers between Monaco and your hotel in Nice throughout the weekend. So there’s no long train queues to worry about. You can also stay at the circuit for longer – the trains back to Nice stop around 11pm, but our transfers don’t!
 

​Nice Riviera Hotel, Nice

Picture
This contemporary city centre hotel is located in downtown Nice, only 500 metres of the Promenade des Anglais and the beach as well as several great bars and restaurants. Facilities include an elegant, wood panelled lounge bar. There is a heated indoor pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and a small fitness centre. ​

​Boscolo Exedra Nice

Picture
​Located a few blocks from the beach on the beautiful Boulevard Victor Hugo,the stylish Boscolo Exedra offers contemporary luxury and a  fabulous spa. The classic Belle Epoque style façade contrasts wonderfully  with a distinctly modern design inside.
The renowned La Pescheria restaurant encourages you to taste the various a la carte dishes and the trendy Genesi Bar is a  sophisticated venue to sip a cocktail and chat with friends or people watch on the boulevard.

​Fairmont Monte Carlo

Picture
The Fairmont Monte Carlo occupies a prime location at the water’s edge looking out over the luxurious yachts; the perfect base from which to explore the charms of Monte Carlo.

Each spacious guestroom comes with a private balcony, where time to enjoy a quiet breakfast can be appreciated. Every meal at the hotel becomes a special occasion due to the buzzing ambience in the restaurant and bars, and of course the panoramic views of the ever changing Mediterranean.

The jewel in the culinary crown of the Fairmont is the influential Nobu restaurant, with a magnificent bar, exclusive lounges and a unique terrace bathed in stunning coastal views.

Take some time to unwind in the Willow Stream Spa, an oasis of calm away from the bustle of the legendary casino next door. Absorb the peace and tranquillity, or make the most of the uninterrupted views across the Riviera as you take a dip in the rooftop swimming pool.

​Columbus Hotel Monte Carlo

Picture
Overlooking the Mediterranean's Fontvieille harbour, cool Columbus Monaco is conveniently located opposite Monaco's heliport, near the Oceanographic Museum and minutes from the Place du Casino. You get views of Mediterranean Sea on one side, and the Princess Grace Rose Garden on the other.

Its distinctively sleek Riviera-chic style was the idea of the owner's wife, and made real by an award-winning interior designer. The result is a glamorous marriage of leather, marble, wood and slate creating an atmosphere of sublime tranquillity - a place to slow down, and feel good about life.

Fantastically fresh fish and seafood are the hallmarks of the chocolate-brown hotel restaurant, while the modern bar - the heart and soul of the place on the mezzanine floor - is known for its cocktails and serves light dishes. ​

​Hotel Metropole Monte Carlo

Picture
Mere steps from the Casino Square, the hotel is perfectly located to make the most of this luxurious playground. With interiors decorated by designer Jacques Garcia, who goes by the nickname "Magician of atmospheres", the guest rooms represent the best in luxurious French design and display Garcia's nimble approach when it comes to blending the historic with the sultry and new.

Induldge at the spa by ESPA which includes two suites, the "heat experience", heated outdoor pool and fitness studio; feast at the two-Michelin-star restaurant by super-chef Joël Robuchon, where Mediterranean cuisine and exceptional views create the perfect dining experience; or discover the Michelin-stared Japanese restaurant YOSHI.

Breakfast is on the terrace, overlooking the casino gardens and the Mediterranean. The heart of the Metropole lies firmly in Monaco's infectious glamour, and even the hotel bar has a renown of its own - a place to see and be seen, open to the early hours, serving some of the best cocktails in town.

​Novotel Monte Carlo

Picture
Set in the heart of Monaco in the Monte Carlo district, this Avant-Garde-style hotel provides modern, spacious and air-conditioned rooms, some affording views over the Rocher or the Mediterranean Sea, the beach or the harbor and yachts.

​Take your Monaco trip up a notch

Picture
Eddie Jordan and his band
A trip to the Monaco Grand Prix™ is a great opportunity to live the champagne lifestyle for the weekend.

If you really want to make your Monaco Grand Prix weekend unforgettable – or even extend your stay – there are lots of great activities we can arrange for you.

First, all Altitude Luxury Travel guests are invited to the Friday night Grand Prix party aboard our yacht. It’s going to be an incredible event. Champagne will be flowing on the decks of our luxury yacht moored at Monaco harbour, where F1™ fans from all over will come together in beautiful surroundings. A cover charge applies and availability is limited so please ask for details when you make your booking.


With live music from former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan and his band, we’ll party until the early hours. 

Other great party options include the Amber Lounge Fashion Show on Friday night and the Amber Lounge After Party on Sunday night. The Amber Lounge is where many F1 drivers and A-list celebs head after the race. Why not be part of the same elite party?

Your other options include Ferrari and Lamborghini driving experiences, private excursions and Cannes Film Festival tickets.

These are just a few ways we can help you make the most of your ultimate Monaco Grand Prix trip.

​When to book your Monaco Grand Prix trip

 

​Monaco Grand Prix™ - The inside track

A veteran of McLaren Racing’s pit-stop crew, Formula One™ mechanic Marc Priestly knows more than most about what makes a Grand Prix™ really special. We’ve got Marc’s exclusive take on the Monaco Grand Prix™ – and why it's among the best races you’ll ever experience.

The Monaco Grand Prix, held amongst the built up streets of the beautiful Monte Carlo principality, is often referred to as the “jewel in F1’s crown” and is unquestionably one of the most glamorous and star studded annual sporting events in the world.

The race is unique in its setting, history and opulence and gives visitors an entirely unique experience over any other Grand Prix on the calendar.

Race fans, locals, mechanics, drivers, celebrities and billionaires walk almost anonymously side by  side around the famous harbour, dining in the open fronted, waterside pizzerias or on the open decks of mind blowing super-yachts.

Popular nightspots include the trendy Columbus Hotel for fine dining and cocktail fuelled celeb spotting, many of the drivers stay here; the bar at Rascasse corner for a long and raucous evening with live music; or if you really want to mix it in the right circles, the exclusive post race Amber Lounge parties. On Sunday evening you’ll find most of the drivers and entourages here, letting down their hair like nowhere else.


The historic race itself, on the tight, twisty streets, presents a series of idiosyncratic challenges for drivers and their teams.

• Cars need as much downforce as they can get, so wings and aerodynamic packages are designed especially for this circuit. Due to the nature of the track, this is more important than having the aero-efficient car required at other races.

• The need for brake cooling is the highest of anywhere we visit, because of the high number of low speed corners in quick succession, so you’ll see bespoke, larger brake ducts inside front and rear wheels of cars too.

• With the race being run on regular roads, grip levels increase dramatically as F1 cars lay down tyre rubber over the weekend. Car setup’s an enormous challenge for teams as grip changes with every run, making it tricky to know whether lap time’s coming from the car or circuit evolution.

• Sensitive throttle response is important with Monaco’s stop/start nature, but whilst not a particularly hard event for engines, gearboxes are put to the test with the huge number of gear changes and torque demands each lap.

• The fastest way around this circuit is to use as much of the track as possible. That means drivers running as close to the barriers on corner exits as they dare and that requires the highest levels of sustained concentration of any Grand Prix.

• The narrow streets make overtaking difficult, so qualifying high up the grid is crucial.


For racing drivers, this is a special race and one that everyone dreams of winning in their careers, alongside the Le Mans 24hr and the Indy 500. For the teams it’s no different and I’ve been fortunate enough to be on the winning side on a number of occasions with McLaren.

The feeling of winning any Grand Prix is an incredible one, the culmination of a lot of painstaking hard preparation and team work, but standing underneath the steps of the royal box, as our drivers spray the victory champagne here will always go down as some of the best moments of my career.

Aside from the racing, Monte Carlo provides a spectacular backdrop, social scene and sound as the noise of the cars reverberates around the built up billionaire’s playground. It’s a truly memorable experience and if you go to just one Formula One Grand Prix in your lifetime, I’d
strongly recommend making it Monaco.

Marc worked for McLaren Racing for almost a decade as a race mechanic and member of the illustrious pit stop crew. He was part of every race from the glory days of Mika Hakkinen, right through to 2009, taking in, along with everything else, that incredible day in Brazil 2008 when Lewis Hamilton won his first World Championship. Marc’s worked closely with an amazing list of drivers, including 3 of the World Champions on 2015’s grid and remains friends with many of them today. In fact, such is the extensive nature of his list of  friends and contacts throughout the paddock, he’s regularly in contact with key people from many of the teams, and therefore well abreast of much ‘inside’ information.
