SENATE HOTLINE: +336 8086 8988 EMAIL: [email protected] 1

HOTEL CHECK-IN

All hotel rooms are booked in the guest’s name as part of the Senate Grand Prix group. To check-in you simply need to show your passport at reception, you

will not require any voucher or receipt to check-in. The hotel will take some credit card details as you are responsible to cover any additional expenses or

incidentals costs incurred during your stay. Breakfast and local taxes are included with all of our hotel rooms.

There will be a welcome pack waiting for you at the hotel which will give you further details of the weekend including, ticket collection instructions, any

transport or extras you have booked and all of our contact details for the weekend.

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 12:00, unless you have arranged otherwise. During this very busy period some of the hotels may not have all of

their rooms ready for the 15:00 check in time. We sincerely apologise if you are affected by this and suggest you leave your bags at the hotel and start

enjoying yourself until the room becomes available.

Please note: During the racing when the track is closed some of the hotels in Monaco have restricted access:

Hotel de Paris will only be accessible through its back entrance on Avenue des Beaux-Arts which is opposite the front of the Hotel Hermitage

The Fairmont Hotel is only accessible via a temporary footbridge which is located next to the Hotel Metropole. In order to gain access to this

temporary footbridge it is compulsory that you have a hotel pass. Therefore the Fairmont Hotel operates a remote check-in on the Avenue De

Grande Bretagne, in the estate agents AFIM’s offices where you can get a hotel pass if you haven’t already received this. The map at the end of this

document shows you both access routes.

CONTACTING US

The Senate Grand Prix team will be based in Monaco from Monday 22nd until Tuesday 30th May. We will be located in Monaco in the Trianon room of the

The entrance to the footbridge is located by the Metropole Hotel (see map). You will need a hotel access pass to cross this bridge to get into the Fairmont therefore if you have NOT collected your passes in advance please go to the Fairmont Hotel’s remote check in on Avenue de Grande Bretagne.

comfortable with what they wear so the below suggestions may be considered for certain locations:

Fairmont Suites, Ermanno Palace, Rascasse, Yachts, - Smart/Casual - Tailored shorts/jeans or chino's

Fairmont Roof-top Seats and all grandstands - Casual - shorts acceptable

Footwear: Monaco is known for its steep hills and with the track closing normal routes a good amount of walking is required. At race viewing locations you

may stand for a period of time so please take this into consideration when choosing your footwear. Wedges/smart flat sandals are a popular choice for ladies.

Yacht footwear: Guests are allowed to wear shoes on board our yacht as we have laid a protective carpet. But ladies are advised that if their heels are

particularly narrow then they may have to remove them so not to damage the decks.
