My VIP Experience at the Formula 1 Pirelli Grand Prix du Canada, Montreal

Me and my husband, Richie, just returned from an unforgettable adventure at the Formula 1 Pirelli Grand Prix du Canada in Montreal, and I’m still buzzing with excitement. From the moment we arrived, the city was alive — filled with color, energy, and the unmistakable roar of F1 engines in the distance. If you’ve ever considered experiencing Formula 1 in person, let me tell you: this is the way to do it.

Montreal in Full Color Downtown Montreal was absolutely glowing. The architecture is stunning, the streets are full of character, and during Grand Prix weekend, there’s a party around every corner. The city completely embraces the Formula 1 spirit — luxury collector cars cruising by, music in the air, and locals and visitors alike celebrating the excitement.

And the food? Outstanding. Richie tried poutine for the first time (a rite of passage in Quebec!) and absolutely loved it. Honestly, we could have made a whole trip around just the dining scene.

Our Stay at Warwick Le Crystal We stayed at the Warwick Le Crystal hotel in downtown Montreal, and it was exceptional. The rooms were large, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The service was top-notch — warm, helpful, and so attentive. One surprise favorite? The hotel’s Thai restaurant, Siam — absolutely delicious and a great way to wind down after a full day of racing.

Front Row to the Action: Paddock Club Access If you're going to do Formula 1, I can't recommend the Paddock Club experience enough. It's luxury, access, and adrenaline all wrapped into one. On Friday, June 13th, we attended the pre-qualifiers, and the day was packed with incredible moments.

One highlight was our tour of the Aramco Garage — it literally took my breath away. I had goosebumps walking through it. Then came the pit walk, where we got so close to the action we could feel the wind from the tire changes. The speed, precision, and intensity — it's something you can only fully appreciate up close.

Aston Martin, Aramco & Regent Seven Seas: Luxury Meets Performance As someone who loves both luxury travel and motorsport, seeing the connection between Regent Seven Seas Cruises and the Aramco Aston Martin team was a major highlight. It’s such a cool partnership — high performance and high-end experiences coming together in a way that makes perfect sense.

Sharing the Magic But beyond all the VIP moments, the real magic was sharing it with Richie. Watching his face light up as we explored the Paddock Club, the garages, and the track was truly priceless. It reminded me why I love doing what I do — curating unforgettable experiences and making memories that last a lifetime.

Final Thoughts This trip is now high on my list of top travel experiences — and that's saying a lot! The energy of Montreal, the VIP thrill of Formula 1, and the sheer joy of discovering it all with someone I care about made this one for the books.

If you’re dreaming of an epic, luxury sports experience with the right mix of excitement, culture, and indulgence — trust me, this is it. Let’s get you to Montreal next year. You won’t regret it.
