YOUR ITINERARY
Friday
Arrive at Nice Airport to be met by the GE team, a quick hello (no one likes hanging around airports) and we have a car waiting to transfer you to our 4-star hotel or our 3-star hotel both located in the centre of Nice. The Hotel Splendid (4-star) has been managed for three generations by the same family. The sea, shopping area, old town and Massena museum are nearby. Warm and relaxing, the desk and the lobby are devoted to comfort. Also in Reception you will find one of the team at the GE desk with all your weekend details. Rooms are comfortable with air conditioning, a full bathroom, satellite TV channels include CNN and BBC, mini bar, hair dryer, etc. Le "chez Hugo" restaurant features fine Mediterranean cooking with outdoor dining. For relaxation there are two bars, one in the lobby and topsail bar on the 8th floor with panoramic views on the city and the Alps. An Imac is available in the lobby to access Internet as well as wifi connection should you wish to email back some pictures of your day at the Monaco Grand Prix. Breakfast will be served on the 8th floor in the panoramic dining room. On the 8th floor panoramic solar heated swimming pool, heated Jacuzzi & sun drenched terrace. Upon arrival at the hotel you will be greeted by more of the GE team who will assist with your check-in, then spend as much time as you need to explain exactly what is in store for your incredible Adventure. For those choosing our 3-Star option, we are delighted to offer a limited number of rooms at La Malmaison hotel. This hotel has only this year reopened after an extensive refurbishment programme, everything is brand new, the reception, the rooms, the carpets, the bar, the breakfast room and even the staff! Friendly service is offered and a comfortable stay, every room offers air-conditioning, cable TV, mini-bar and safe. Upon arrival at La Malmaison, GE will be on hand to offer the same levels of service you would expect. (La Malmaison is directly opposite Hotel Splendid).
Saturday
We use one particular building in Monaco overlooking Ste Devote (the first turn) for the Saturday and Sunday action. In addition to this corner, you can also see all the way up Beau Rivage, the entry to the chicane, the run down towards Tabac and Tabac corner. There are very few balconies in Monaco which offer so much of the track - and those areas you can't see "in the flesh" you'll not miss as there's a Diamond Screen TV directly ahead of us. Just to be on the safe side, we've also got television sets in the air-conditioned suite behind us! (Handy for qualifying sector times and to see any replays!)
The coaches leave the hotel early both days to get us to the venue in ample time. You may have some shopping to do in Monte Carlo, but before you do, we can have a breakfast of pastries, orange juice, tea and coffee. As the morning progresses, there will be complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks all day long. A delicious buffet lunch is also provided and is of excellent quality. You have everything you need contained within our own private facility - not least of which is your own restroom. If you've ever had to queue for 15 minutes to use one of the portaloos at previous races, you'll be very relieved (no pun intended) you chose our balcony instead!
Sunday
Race day - the most exhilarating race on the F1 calendar and the one they all want to win. The vantage point remains as excellent as it was - and should the sun be shining (as it usually does), the canopy above will shield you. Should it be raining - no need for umbrellas. The full service of breakfast, lunch and beverages await - there are also plenty of seats available but you'll more than likely be on your feet to see most of the action! The race is a sensory overload - the noise, the smell, the speed, the adrenaline and the whole experience has been leading to this - regardless of who wins, regardless of the track action; there is something unbelievable about this particular race which has no equal. Most of our customers have been to race tracks throughout the world, and without exception, they all comment how outstanding Monaco is.
You are free to do as you please after the race. The GE staff will be in the bar for a couple of night-caps, plenty of time to relive the whole Adventure with your newly made friends before you leave in the morning.
Monday
Returned to Nice Airport - We run shuttles to the airport every hour on the hour and ensure you're back at the terminal in plenty of time to catch your flight back home. Of course, you may wish to stay a little longer and experience a little more - perhaps relax for a few days, if that's the case, please let us know and we'll do all we can to help. When you do get back home and people tell you of their vacations - be sure to tell them about the Adventure you experienced during the Monte Carlo Grand Prix.
