Grimaldi Forum Monaco
The Grimaldi Forum Monaco is the ideal venue for large events such as conferences and exhibitions. With its 35,000 m² of modular space and capacity for up to 4,000 people, it can easily accommodate everything from trade shows to product launches. What's more, they are fully committed to sustainability with their ISO 14001 certification.
To get there, buses 4 and 6 stop in front. Monaco-Monte-Carlo train station is a 10-minute walk away.
For optimal traffic and parking management, the Salines parking lot offers discounted rates with free shuttle service. And if you need tech equipment, their team can help you out.
Star Room at Sporting Monte-Carlo
The Salle des Étoiles is the place to be for VIP parties. With its roof that opens up to the sky and its 973 m² of modular space, it can host symphony concerts or private galas. Their team even manages the sound and lighting—handy when you want a turnkey event.
Right next to the Monte Carlo Casino, the spot is surrounded by 5-star hotels such as the Hôtel de Paris. Perfect for accommodating guests without making them walk. The Louis-II parking lot is 2 minutes away, and buses 4/6 run every 10 minutes. A real time-saver for the organizers.
Belle Epoque Room at the Hermitage Hotel
For events with an early 1900s feel, this historic hall is stunning. Pink marble columns and golden frescoes —perfect for gala dinners or VIP weddings. However, please note that the sound system cannot be turned up too loud, as the venue is protected.
Their in-house caterer works with Michelin-starred chefs. Their team helps you put together a tailor-made menu, even for special dietary requirements. Crystal glassware and silverware are included, creating an effortlessly luxurious atmosphere.
Fairmont Monte Carlo
The Fairmont is a hit with its 1,465 m² Grand Salon and terrace overlooking the sea. Perfect for seminars or product launches.
Their tech setup has already been used for major professional events, with giant screens and surround sound.
A stone's throw from the train station, buses 6 and 100 stop in front of the hotel. Private parking with valet service available, but it's best to reserve in advance. Their Monapass app shows real-time availability of parking spaces around the complex. Handy for big events.
Monaco Oceanographic Museum
Organizing an event among sharks and giant turtles—how cool is that? The oceanographic museum offers cocktail parties for up to 1,400 people among aquariums and historic rooms.
However, allow more time for logistics due to the technical constraints of the building.
For smaller groups, the Hirondelle and Princesse-Alice rooms can accommodate 20-50 people maximum. Larger groups can hire the south wing with its view of Port Hercule. Soft lighting guaranteed!
