MONACO HISTORIQUE
10th to 13th MAY 2024
OVERVIEW
Our Monaco Historique Weekend is one of the most exclusive experiences to the ever-popular historic Grand Prix race hosted in Monte Carlo. With its glitz and glamour and being host to one of the best and most long-standing Grand Prix in history, Monaco is one place every motorsport enthusiast would love to visit, watch cars race around the street circuit, and some of the most famous corners in motorsport, including Lowes Hairpin, Tabac and Rascasse.
For 2024 we have introduced a new and exciting viewing and hospitality location. We will be staying in the familiar Fairmont Hotel with glorious views across the Ligurian Sea, the hotel, by the time we arrive, will have finished a major refurbishment programme on all the bedrooms, and from what we have seen so far the rooms are superb, with fresh clean interiors reflecting the azure blue and light surroundings.
We will also have exclusive use of the stunning Caffe Milano as our hospitality and track viewing base during Saturday and Sunday. You will get to enjoy a wonderful new viewing experience on the terrace overlooking Port Hercule as the cars sweep through the Tabac Corner, right in front of the Caffe.
We will also have tickets for the Grandstand immediately behind Caffe Milano which will give you a fantastic view of Sainte Devote Corner (the exciting first turn) as the venue is sandwiched between two parts of the circuit. The dining experience will be amazing, with seating in the beautifully designed and appointed restaurant below the terrace and still with a track and harbour view.
On Friday evening, our weekend will kick off with a fabulous champagne welcome dinner at the brand new location of the stunning La Collection Automobiles de S.A.S le Prince de Monaco. This is the Prince of Monaco’s private car collection, which we have exclusive use of for the evening and has to be one of the most amazing collections of cars in private hands. With a glass of champagne in hand, you will have time to look around the collection before sitting down to a three course dinner in the middle of the collection, surrounded by the cars.
We will then conclude our Monaco experience with a private dinner in the Fairmont Hotel where you will be able to enjoy the views out to sea from the terrace, watch the sunset and enjoy an evening of entertainment. This will be a Black Tie occasion and hosted in the more intimate Salle de Mer venue, for a more relaxed experience.

SATURDAY 11TH MAY 2024
SATURDAY 11th MAY 2024
PRACTICE AND QUALIFYING DAY OF THE MONACO HISTORIQUE
After breakfast in the hotel overlooking the sea, shuttle buses will be available to take you to the fantastic Caffe Milano where you will enjoy VIP Hospitality at one of the best locations and viewing spots in Monaco, with spectacular views of Tabac Corner and the Monaco Harbour.
For those keen to watch the action early, a light continental breakfast is provided at Caffe Milano. Lunch will also be served and a cash bar available throughout the day.
Also available is rotational Grandstand seating overlooking the Sainte Devote Corner and accessible directly from Caffe Milano. We will have a number of allocated seats to be shared among our guests.
The transfer time from the Fairmont Hotel to Caffe Milano is about twenty minutes, this includes a ten minute walk from the Fairmont Hotel to the Shuttle Bus pick up point, a five minute shuttle bus ride and a further five minute walk from the Shuttle bus drop off point to Caffe Milano.
You will be able to visit the Paddock and wander around the race cars at your leisure, see them being prepared and watch them gather prior to exiting onto the track. The walk to the Paddock is ten minutes from Caffe Milano.
Shuttles between the Fairmont Hotel and Caffe Milano will run continuously all day.
This evening is your free evening to explore Monaco and enjoy a restaurant of your choosing.
Please Note – as this is a street circuit, getting from point A to point B, as with most race tracks, involves some walking as the barriers of the track close the public roads.
The location of our new and exclusive weekend hospitality venue at Caffe Milano is fantastic, but it is sandwiched right in the middle of two of the best parts of the track. To access it therefore requires some walking for five minutes through two well lit and decorated tunnels – but we are sure you will agree the extra leg work will be well worth this small inconvenience.
If you have disabilities or struggle with light walking please note that this may cause difficulties. Please contact us and we will try to accommodate you as best we can.
