For those who have attended the Monaco Grand Prix more than once, the lesson tends to arrive early: the race itself lasts less than two hours. What defines the weekend is everything around it — the terrace, the view, the company, the rhythm from Friday morning through Sunday evening. This year, Monte Carlo Race Club and BND Events have built two distinct hospitality concepts around that logic, each approaching the Grand Prix weekend from a different angle.
The Rose de France rooftop sits in the heart of Monte-Carlo, overlooking the harbour and the city below. Access is deliberately limited, and the format is designed to move with the rhythm of the weekend rather than compete with it. Mornings open quietly, with the space gathering energy as the day builds towards racing, networking and live entertainment before settling into something more atmospheric by sunset.
Premium catering, an open bar running to champagne and spirits, and live DJ sets run throughout. Monaco fills every sightline — circuit, harbour, and city visible from every angle.
The programme’s standout cultural moment takes place on Friday 5th June at 5:30pm, when the Rose de France hosts an intimate evening organised by BND Events in partnership with Liora Global and BGI. The evening centres on the world premiere screening of a new Gipsy Kings documentary directed by Joel Van Der Molen, followed by a live acoustic set by the Gipsy Kings featuring Tonino Baliardo — one of the group’s founding members and a central figure in the Franco-Spanish collective whose fusion of flamenco, rumba catalana and pop has defined the sound of the Côte d’Azur for four decades. Few settings could feel more fitting.
On Saturday, the rooftop takes a different direction with a specially curated international student experience, created in collaboration with Twenty-Eight Degrees and designed to bring a younger, globally mobile audience into the Grand Prix atmosphere. The Rose de France experience is developed with partners Wholy, Vandercom, Or Noir Caviar, L1FE Organization, B. Taylor, Orizzi, PearlMD, TVA the Mora Agency, Bambolea and NuCalm, while the Saturday edition is supported by Le Sedre, Maison d’Azur, Time Boutique, Heaven Sake, Farmec, Tico, Selda Jewellery, Camilla Ghione and Life Organisation.
Panorama: circuit views from the 13th floor
The Panorama building’s 13th floor terrace operates on a different premise entirely. Positioned directly above St Dévote corner, the Casino Straight and Monaco Harbour, Monte Carlo Race Club, in collaboration with Bnd Events, is offering what most Grand Prix hospitality can only promise — an uninterrupted, elevated view of the circuit’s most critical sections, from the heaviest braking zones to the full acceleration through the city streets.
The terrace functions as an all-day hospitality suite, with a professional chef preparing breakfast, lunch and afternoon menus throughout. Champagne, wine and spirits are served continuously, with live race coverage on screens positioned across the space. Private seating areas and a dedicated meeting space allow guests to move between conversation and race-watching at their own pace.
The Panorama experience is supported by Antica Acetaia Dodi, producer of traditional balsamic vinegar from Modena; Brisval, specialising in premium Italian bresaola; InKonserva, creator of gourmet Mediterranean delicacies; Vini Casale Lucino, an Italian winery; Cards Hub, a trading card collector platform; and eBay Live, an interactive live-shopping and auction platform.
