The Fairmont Monte Carlo in pole position for the “Fairmont Hairpin”

Fairmont Monte Carlo

Known worldwide as the jewel in the crown of Formula 1’s notable circuits with some of the most historical bends, the Monaco Grand Prix is back this year as one of the most prestigious international sporting events.

Located on the famous Monaco Grand Prix circuit, the Fairmont Monte Carlo offers the best views of the race with its location on the hairpin bend which this year will be officially renamed the “Fairmont Hairpin”.

The hairpin bend has gone through a series of name changes throughout the history of the Monaco Grand Prix, originally known as the Station Hairpin for its location on the fringe of the Monte Carlo train station, followed by the Loews Hairpin, and most recently known as the “Sun Casino Hairpin”.

This year the Fairmont Monte Carlo honours its famous bend renamed “Fairmont Hairpin”, and will be installing 200 VIP Stadium seats, sporting the highest views of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, on its roof top panoramic terrace allowing hotel guests to be at the heart of the action. Similar views that suites of the hotel enjoy; and so popular are these suites with the F1 community that the Fairmont Monte Carlo is planning to dedicate them to the greatest FI drivers in the history of the Grand Prix.
