Nikki Beach Hospitality Group has opened the GC Lounge by Nikki Beach in the Longines Global Champions Tour event village at Port Hercule, bringing a new hospitality experience to this week’s Jumping International de Monte-Carlo for the championship’s 20th anniversary edition.
The lounge officially launched on Thursday evening, offering aperitifs, a three-course dinner, champagne and fine wines alongside what may be the finest vantage point on the entire circuit — the jumping arena set against a backdrop of superyachts and the open Mediterranean Sea.
The GC Lounge is open throughout the entire championship, with views over the competition arena and Monaco harbour available to guests for the duration of the event.
A Riviera-wide partnership
The Monaco activation forms part of an expanded collaboration between Nikki Beach Hospitality Group and the Longines Global Champions Tour that now stretches across three of the circuit’s flagship Mediterranean destinations this summer. Nikki Beach Saint-Tropez and Lucia Cannes by Nikki Beach have also partnered with the tour at its French Riviera stops, bringing the brand’s signature atmosphere to some of the championship’s most celebrated venues.
Monaco’s 20th anniversary edition
The Jumping International de Monte-Carlo, considered one of the most technically demanding stops on the international show jumping calendar, continues at Port Hercule through to Saturday evening, with many of the world’s leading riders competing in what is also one of Monaco’s most spectacular sporting spectacles.
The compact circuit, the Principality’s iconic harbour and the backdrop of the Palace make the Monaco leg one of the most coveted on the 17-stage global circuit.
Reservations for the GC Lounge can be made by contacting sterre@globalchampionstour.com.
