Where should you stay during the Monaco Grand Prix™?
In this guide we’ll help you choose the best place to stay during your trip to the Monaco Grand Prix™.
The majority of visitors to the Monaco Grand Prix™ will choose to stay in either Monaco or Nice, and for many the deciding factor will be price. Monaco has a limited selection of hotels and you can expect to pay upwards of £12,000 for a four night stay over the Formula One™ weekend.
Nice is a twenty minute direct train journey from Monaco and also has the closest international airport. Combine this with an abundance of bars, restaurants and three and four star hotels and you can start to understand why staying in Nice is the most popular option for many Grand Prix™ fans.
Avenue Jean Médecin is the main street that runs from Nice Station to the Promenade des Anglais. Choose a hotel located on one of the many side streets leading off Avenue Jean Médecin and you should find yourself no more than a twenty to thirty minute walk from Nice Station. Hotels also line the Promenade des Anglais with many having sea views and private beaches.
Staying in Monaco on race weekend does have its advantages but there are a few things you should consider before booking a room. Monaco is of course a street circuit which means that many roads are closed from early morning until the final on track action is over. This can cause lengthy diversions getting to and from your vantage point.
As a general rule the Fairmont Monte-Carlo, Hotel de Paris, Metrópole, Novotel, Port Palace Hotel and the Hermitage are all central and should allow the easiest access to most harbour area grandstands and apartments.
If you are spending the weekend on a yacht it’s likely that you’ll need to take a tender transfer from Fontvieille harbour and you may find that the Columbus Hotel has easier access.
