An expert guide to the best Monaco hotels for the Grand Prix, including the top for racecourse views, Formula One-themed activities and events, and special Grand Prix packages, as well as comfortable rooms, fine-dining restaurants and rooftop pools.
For the ultimate Monte-Carlo experience, it’s hard to beat this fabled Casino Square location combined with Mediterranean harbour views. Step out of the hotel into the square to listen to opera in the Salle Garnier, attempt to break the bank at the casino, browse the parked Ferraris over coffee at the Café de Paris, or explore the immaculately manicured gardens. Designer shops and restaurants are within 100 metres, while the port is a five-minute walk.
This luxury hotel in Monte Carlo, propped up on pillars over the sea, offering fabulous views of the ocean, an excellent choice of restaurants and a rooftop pool. Land-side, it also oversees the Fairmont hair-pin bend, one of the most dramatic elements of the Monaco’s Grand Prix circuit. Rooms come with balconies, so those towards the front offer prime views of all the action.

Bang in the middle of the principality’s prestigious Carré d’Or district and a one-minute walk from the main square with its casino, opera, restaurants and designer shops. The hotel has the advantage of a quiet garden square on one side, while the other side gazes over the Mediterranean port littered with superyachts towards the rock topped with the Prince’s medieval castle. The racetrack can be viewed from the Salle Belle Epoque terrace.

Right by the Port Hercule, where the big yachts cluster, the Port Palace’s seven floors back into the rock-face which rises to the Monte Carlo headland. The views across the port to the other headland (with Monaco-Ville on top), and then out to sea are sensational. And you’re five minutes walk from the central Place-du-Casino.

In the heart of the Monte-Carlo district, just up from the Casino and off the Boulingrins Gardens, the Metropole could scarcely be more central. While not quite on the race route, the hotel does offer a Grand Prix package, which includes free access to the Karl Lagerfeld-designed pool, accommodation and breakfast.
