Planning a trip to Monte Carlo

[cervezaman]

We're planning a couple of nights stay in Monte Carlo next year. I'm after some advice really on the parking in Monte Carlo. Can anyone recommend a good hotel with good, secure parking? Some, like the Hotel de Paris, say that they offer valet parking but I don't want them parking it anywhere (I'm a bit OCD about how / where I park).

I've tried emailing the hotels, but all I get back is 'yes we have parking'.

Anyone recommend a good hotel?

I can't remember the name of the hotel, possibly a Radisson hotel, but we parked in their underground car park, 20 euros a day when we were there. It was right next to the Jaguar dealership, about 5 minutes walk from the casino de monte carlo.

Can't help with hotels,
As for Parking there are lots of car parks, we always use the one half way up Av. D'ostend which runs from the harbour up to the Casino, or one just round the back on Av.de la Costa. In that one is a Porche GT2 that has not moved in 3 yrs and is always covered in dust.
You see more exotics parked in the car parks than being drivern, as it's where most of the residents park.
Enjoy your trip, best place to watch people and cars is around 10pm on a Saturday night standing opposite the Casino.

Thanks that's great, I've just had a look on google maps at the one on Av. D'ostend. From memory, how tight are the gaps in these places?

Novotel Monte Carlo is reasonably priced and central. Has secure underground parking too for circa £20 a day I think.

Port Palace on the hill up to Casino Square, has secure parking also.

Thanks everyone

I have used the valet parking at the Hotel de Paris and the Hermitage several times including with new Ferrari. Never had a problem.

Not sure of the name of it but there's a good multi story on the road leading up the hill from casino square, right next to a dance school ( not sure if that helps, I'll try and find it on google tomorrow) but was reasonably priced, well lit and had quite a few exotics under car covers parked up long-term!

As other have said, I wouldn't worry about finding somewhere safe to park in Monte Carlo (assuming you drive something relatively normal?).

We actually found parking to be cheaper in Monte Carlo than Cannes or saint tropez
