Where to Stay Most of the hotels near the
Palexpo center where the show is held are budget
options. Instead, stay in the heart of the city
at the historic Beau Rivage. Opt for the
two-story Celestial Suite for views of both the
city and famous Lake Geneva. Hotels sell out far
in advance of the event, so the time to book is
now.

Considered one of the most prestigious and best
auto shows in the world, The Monaco Grand Prix
celebrates 77 years when Formula One drivers take
to the Circuit de Monaco May 23 to 26, 2019.

narrow streets of Monaco, it is one of the most
demanding, and slowest F1 races held. For a luxe
experience, choose to see the race from the brand
new Suite Terrace at the Majestic Palace, which
has a view of more than 75 percent of the course.
The package includes all-day gourmet catering
with bubbly and fine wines. Or the ultimate
viewing perch is from a yacht in Port Hercule.
