The New Place du Casino
The heart and soul of Monaco’s Monte-Carlo, Place du Casino is world-renowned for hosting some of the most coveted international events, and following its new lease of life courtesy of Michel Desvigne, it’s clear the road leads only up from here. From luxury car shows to Car launches or sell-out charity concerts, the square welcomes you to live out your most unique experiences in an open and modern space.
Just last year, the legendary 120-piece Ferrari Cavalcade travelled from San Remo to Monaco via the Côte d’Azur to arrive in style at Monaco’s Place du Casino for an evening fans have not stopped raving about. Couple this with the 73rd Monaco Red Cross Gala featuring Alicia Keys,
A tennis tournament hosting Novak Djokovic and Stan Wawrinka and the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix and it’s clear Casino Square has once again earned itself top place in Monaco’s event circle.
With options to privatise their Casino Atrium or the Opéra de Monte-Carlo, guests can bear witness to the extravagance and audacity of Monaco’s most magnificent cocktail venues – steeped with history and mythology as they network with the best, enjoy red-carpet gala evenings or raise a toast in celebration of their latest success. From concert stage to racetrack, it’s a venue that proves itself time and time again and can adapt to any event you throw at it.

The Monaco Yacht club
Founded in 1953 by Prince Rainer, The Yacht Club de Monaco exudes prestige and brings together more than 2500 members from around the world each year to celebrate in the world’s most esteemed yachts. A symbolic centrepiece of Monaco’s remodelled harbour front, it’s clearly a venue that lends itself to exclusive events with its fully glazed elevations and series of well-made cabins.
With a total meeting space of 9,000 sq.
