The Fairmont Monte Carlo’s hotel management is not joking when they flaunt ‘a room with a view’.
Their 70 luxurious four-star suites present Formula 1 enthusiasts with the opportunity to experience the Monaco Grand Prix without stepping outside.
Yet, scenes like this come with a hefty price tag. The priciest package overlooking the renowned Fairmont hairpin bend is priced at £24,000 for four nights, which does not even cover evening meals.
Throughout Grand Prix week, the hotel accommodates the Billionaire Club nightclub, initiated by Flavio Briatore, who is labeled by the Fairmont as ‘the F1 specialist and Italian billionaire seducer’.
Nevertheless, sports enthusiasts aiming to grab a balcony spot for this year’s race are unfortunately out of options – regardless of their financial capability.
The last available room was booked three weeks ago, and the hotel is now entirely occupied.
Since its inception in 1929, the Monaco Grand Prix, which commenced yesterday, has been acclaimed as one of the most opulent events in the F1 calendar.
