Where to Stay
in Monaco
Monaco has very few hotels and they sell out for F1 well in advance. Here is the honest guide to where to stay — including when staying in Monaco is actually the wrong choice.

Monaco has fewer than 15 hotels for the entire principality. These are the three worth knowing.
Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo
Casino Square
The undisputed benchmark. Built in 1863 and directly on Casino Square, it houses the three Michelin-star Louis XV restaurant, the legendary Bar Américain, and the finest rooms with direct views of the Grand Prix circuit.
F1 Note: Rooms overlooking the circuit — some of the most sought-after views on the entire F1 calendar.
Hôtel Hermitage Monte-Carlo
Square Beaumarchais
Belle Époque luxury in a quieter setting than the Paris. A crystal-vaulted winter garden, rooftop pool, and terrace restaurant. Preferred by guests who want Monaco's finest without Casino Square's constant activity.
F1 Note: Connected to the Thermes Marins spa — useful for recovering between race days.
Fairmont Monte Carlo
Hairpin Corner — On the Circuit
The F1 fan's hotel. Built directly into the famous Fairmont Hairpin with terraces that literally hang over the track. During race weekend the hotel hosts its own grandstand. The location is unrivalled for motorsport.
F1 Note: The only hotel in Monaco where you can watch qualifying from your window.
Base Yourself Outside Monaco
For most visitors — especially for F1 weekend — staying outside Monaco and commuting in is not a compromise. It is the better choice.
