The wife has booked us a hotel in Monaco for the Grand Prix in May, thinking of doing a roadtrip taking in the Alps, Stelio Pass etc. Any tips, suggested routes, hotels and any previous experiences would be appreciated.

The Fairmont Hotel the day after the Grand Prix, on the day The Ibis 5 miles out

Here's my suggestion (depending how long you are going for)
I did Euro tunnel to Calais then on to Brussels
Brussels to Spa
then through Germany to Salzberg, Grossglockner pass
on to Milan then along the coastal route to Monaco
Monaco back to Calais via Millau and Paris
did this over 8days and stayed in hotels with secure/underground parking. Too much to post here but if you want details drop me a PM
The Novotel in Nice is quite reasonable

Can't recommend the COLUMBUS Hotel enough.

265 Euros a night, fantastic view of the sea, 5 mins walk to the "track" has a swimming pool, underground valet parking and the staff were super friendly.
