PLATINUM ADVENTURE

Wednesday
Arrivals in Nice will be met by GPA personnel and taken to the helicopter transfer area for the short and incredibly scenic helicopter ride into Monaco, then transferred to The Fairmont Hotel in Monaco (formerly The Grand Hotel).   The Fairmont Hotel is situated in the centre of Monaco with over 600 rooms all air-conditioned. This hotel offers the very best accommodation available in Monaco. All rooms have satellite television and movies on demand, internet access, mini bar and hair dryers.  There are three bars for you choose from, with two situated on the lobby level and the third "Le Pistou" situated on the rooftop.This offers great views. The hotel is equipped with a state-of-the-art gym, sauna and an out door [roof top] swimming pool heated all year round.  Upon arrival you will be met by some more of the GPA team who will explain everything you need to know about the weekend's activities.  We're not there to sell you anything, we're there to ensure you get maximum enjoyment from the event.

*Please book early as The Fairmont Hotel will be sold out for the Grand Prix weekend.*

Thursday
Only with GPA can you enjoy one of the most amazing terraces in The Principality to enjoy the first and second timed Formula One practice sessions.  Take the short 5 minute stroll from your hotel to Le Café de Paris rooftop in the heart of Casino Square.  The Salon Bellevue offers an up-close-and-personal vantage point of Casino Square from Terrace #1 and the loudest possible view of the run down to Mirabeau directly above a Formula One car a mere one story up on Terrace #2!  If this isn't enough for your senses, we have the most wondrous buffet lunch with wine which is prepared to the highest of standards by The Café de Paris chefs.  We've covered sight, sound, smell and taste - you'll be touched! *Don't miss this.*

Friday
Day free in Monaco to relax by the pool, spend some time at the Casino, The Palace, see the incredible cars parked outside the Hotel du Paris, have lunch at David Coulthard's Columbus Hotel or stroll around the track.  Monaco at Grand Prix time is a once in a lifetime event, make the most of it!

Saturday
Enjoy the Formula One qualifying session from the rooftop terrace of The Fairmont Hotel. This vantage point has to be the most famous corner in motor-racing. From the terrace you can see the cars exit Mirabeau corner and burst down towards The Sun Casino hairpin.  (Formerly the Lowes hairpin). Another short burst once they've negotiated the tight confines and they are out of sight. At the far end of the roof-top you can also get a glimpse of the F1 cars entering the tunnel.  Whilst this is the slowest corner in Formula One, it gives you ample opportunity to get close-up shots of these highly paid (and highly skilled) stars of F1. You will enjoy!

Sunday
Enjoy the 64th Formula One Grand Prix from the rooftop terrace of The Fairmont Hotel.

Monday
Helicopter flight back to Nice Airport
