Like the idea of driving around Monte Carlo in a Maserati?

Like the idea of driving a Maserati around Monte Carlo? The ultimate fantasy weekend for boys who enjoy their toys has been launched by the Italian sports car manufacturer in conjunction with the five-star Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo.

Until September 30, Maserati has taken over a pop-up suite at the Hôtel de Paris and had it styled by rising design stars L+R Palomba as an homage to the brand's links with the principality, which date back to 1957 when Juan Manuel Fangio won the Monaco Formula 1 Grand Prix in a Maserati. 

Located on the third floor of the luxury hotel, the dramatically-styled suite offers views of the ocean and the iconic Casino de Monte-Carl - and every imaginable luxury. 

The bedroom features a headboard by Ermenegildo Zegna while the grain leather armchairs resemble the interior of Maserati’s sumptuous saloon cars.

A three-night package, only for those with cash to burn, includes Maserati transfers to/from Nice airport, a Maserati GranCabrio (four-seater convertible) to drive during the stay, breakfasts, a cocktail buffet of Italian-style dishes with Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé champagne and a cryotherapy session at the Thermes Marins Monte-Carlo. 

Rates for the Maserati suite at Hôtel de Paris start from €3,500 for two adults per night. For reservations call +377 9806 4158 or email resort@sbm.mc. Tell them you read about it on Gourmet on the Road.
