Fairmont Monte Carlo
Monte Carlo, Monaco · Fairmont · Core Luxury
Built into the Mediterranean coast on the old Monégasque railway station site and opened in August 1975 as Loews Monte-Carlo, Fairmont Monte Carlo is the only hotel with an active Formula One circuit tunneling beneath it. Drivers dive under the building each Monaco Grand Prix, and the Fairmont Hairpin, the slowest corner on the F1 calendar, sits in plain view from the pool terrace. A fragment of the original station wall still hides inside a hotel office.
- 602 rooms
- Opened 1975

About Fairmont Monte Carlo
- Fairmont's 2004 purchase for 215 million euros was the first acquisition by a joint venture of Fairmont, Kingdom Hotels International, and Bank of Scotland Corporate.
- Toufic Aboukhater bought the hotel from Loews in 1998 and ran it as the Monte Carlo Grand Hotel until the Fairmont deal.
- Rather than stacking towers up the cliff, the Caroli Group built the structure partly into the sea coast itself.
- Major renovations landed in 2005, 2009, and again in 2024 around the property's fiftieth anniversary.
- Entry-level rooms start at 377 sq ft (35 m²).
History
Fairmont Monte Carlo opened in 1975 on a platform built out over the Mediterranean Sea in Monaco, offering panoramic views of the sea and principality from its 602 rooms and suites. At 25 stories it is one of the most architecturally distinctive properties in Monaco. The hotel hosts several Formula One Grand Prix-related events, with its famous Pool Deck terrace offering views over the Fairmont Hairpin — the famous Turn 6 of the Monaco Grand Prix circuit, named after the hotel. Fairmont assumed management in 2005.
