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. Both Monaco and Nice have a selection of three, four and five star hotels but expect to pay between £1,500 to £2,000 per night for a hotel in Monaco. Many hotels in both locations will also have a three or four night minimum stay requirement during the Formula One™ period.
Nice is a twenty minute direct train journey from Monaco and also has the closest international airport. Couple this with an abundance of hotels of every standard and a lively nightlife 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 Ville station down towards 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 Ville station. Staying in one of the hotels on the Promenade des Anglais will take longer but trams do run along Avenue Jean Médecin in the direction of Nice Ville Station.
Staying in Monaco on race weekend does have an added advantage but there are a few things you should consideration before booking a hotel. Monaco is of course a street circuit which means that many roads are closed from around 6am until the final on track action is over and as a result this can cause lengthy diversions especially if you choose a hotel which isn’t close to 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. Le Meridien Beach Plaza and the Monte-Carlo Bay are a little further out and on the opposite side the circuit to the Harbour area grandstands and Ermanno Palace apartments.
If you are spending the weekend on a luxury yacht it’s likely that you’ll be required to take a tender transfer from Fontvieille harbour. You may find the Columbus Hotel has easier access to your meeting point but some walking or a taxi will still be required.
