The Best Tickets and Hospitality

Superyacht Hospitality

With sweeping views of the Swimming Pool section from a coveted zone one berth, all-day complimentary Champagne and sumptuous cuisine from one of the world's most exclusive private dining clubs Misimann's, there's no finer way to experience the Monaco Grand Prix than on our trackside superyacht

Saint Devote Hospitality

With four different terrace viewing positions, Harbour Club at Saint Devote is amongst our favourite hospitality options for viewing the race on land. With the same world-class cuisine from Mosimann's Club as our trackside superyacht, we recommend spending a day of race watching in each for some variety over the weekend.

Shangri-La Rooftop Hospitality

Perched on the 11th floor of the Shangri-La building, Harbour Club Shangri-La is among our favourite hospitality options for watching the race on land, with a split-level rooftop terrace overlooking more than 65% of the circuit. With the same world-class cuisine from Mosimann’s Club as our trackside superyacht, we recommend spending a day in each for some variety over the weekend.

Grandstand K

In our experience, Grandstand K is the best grandstand at the circuit, placing you at the centre of the quintessential Monaco experience with views of Tabac Corner and the swimming pool section framed by iconic harbour vistas.

The best places to stay for the Monaco Grand Prix

The best place to stay for the Monaco Grand Prix depends on what experience you'd like to have away from the race. If you'd like to spend your evenings partying on yachts late into the night, Monaco is the place to be. But if you'd like to stay somewhere a little more tranquil and cultured, we find Nice to be an excellent choice.

Fairmont Monte Carlo

The Fairmont Monte Carlo sits directly on the famous Fairmont Hairpin, so the Grand Prix is quite literally on your doorstep. With Monte Carlo’s legendary nightlife and restaurants close by too, you’ll be at the heart of the weekend’s action.

Hotel du Couvent, Nice

Located in Nice's old town, this restored 17th-century convent reopened as a luxury retreat after a ten-year renovation in 2024. With so many nods to the building's history in design and atmosphere – including a boulangerie that bakes madeleines to the original recipe of the nuns that once lived here – It's an excellent choice for a cultured stay in Nice on grand Prix weekend.

Explora I

Docked in Port Hercule with commanding views over the harbour and Monaco from your private terrace, waking up on Explora I is one of the most privileged experiences of the Grand Prix weekend. 

The ship's facilities are nothing short of exceptional. Embodying the pinnacle of luxury, you'll have access to 6 restaurants, in-suite dining, 12 bars and lounges, a casino, an art gallery, five pools, a comprehensive ocean wellness offering, and much more to entertain you during your cruise.

And you can often make the most of these facilities on a cruising itinerary across the Mediterranean before you dock at Monaco for the race.

Crystal Symphony

Sail from Barcelona to Rome aboard the intimate, all-inclusive Crystal Symphony, anchored in Monte Carlo for two days of Grand Prix action. Included Grandstand K tickets give you a prime view of Saturday’s qualifying and Sunday’s race, with butler service and the comfort of your suite waiting between sessions. Beyond Monaco, the nine-night voyage continues to Tunis, Valletta, Sicily and Salerno.

Hotel Apollinaire, Nice

Staying in Nice offers a quieter base for the Monaco Grand Prix, while keeping you within easy reach of the circuit on race day. Hotel Apollinaire Nice is an elegant four-star hotel in the heart of the city, around 10 minutes’ walk from the Old Town, restaurants, shops and the beach.

Things to do during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend

Monaco comes alive during the Grand Prix, with parties, events and street celebrations taking place throughout the weekend. Beyond the racing, there is plenty to see across Monaco and the wider French Riviera.

The most iconic experience is the Friday Night Yacht Party on the harbourfront. On a 50m yacht, the evening is awash with music from a live band and celebrity DJ, along with complimentary champagne and sumptuous Mosimann's Club cuisine and is renowned as the best party in the harbour.

But the nightlife isn't confined to the harbour, the whole city explodes into a Formula One fiesta when the chequered flag is waved, and the circuit opens up to the public for street parties on the asphalt, with pop-up Veuve Clicquot bars, Jamón ibérico stations and live music performances.

There are also plenty of private beach clubs that we can secure you VIP access to watch the world's biggest artists in concerts.

For a taste of Monaco’s glamour on land, visit the Casino de Monte-Carlo, or see a performance at the Opéra de Monte-Carlo.

The Exotic Garden is perfect for some respite from the city buzz with peaceful, panoramic views across the harbour alongside a collection of around 1,000 cacti.

We also recommend spending some time before or after the weekend exploring Nice's markets, getting lost down the windy Old Town streets, and soaking up the Mediterranean views on the pebbly beaches.

Getting to the Monaco Grand Prix

If you're staying in Monaco, getting to the grand prix is very straightforward. The circuit weaves through the city streets and is accessible by walking.

Nice requires a little more planning with private cars, trains and helicopters the best ways to reach Monaco, but we'll take care of the details and arrange everything for you.

The statement way to arrive is, of course, by private helicopter. From Nice airport, you'll fly along the Cote D'Azur – avoiding busy traffic and trains – before touching down in the Fontvieille region.
