Frequently Asked Questions
In Cannes, luxury hotels are principally defined as five-star properties with a prime location, a high level of service, strong gastronomy and facilities such as a spa, a pool and a private beach or beach partnership. It is as much about the overall experience as it is about the standard of the room itself.
La Croisette is the classic choice for those wishing to stay by the sea and close to the city's most iconic addresses. For a quieter yet equally exclusive atmosphere, the area around Le Suquet and the old harbour is a highly appealing alternative.
Not all, though many of the most sought-after properties offer either their own private beach or an arrangement with an exclusive beach club. For many guests, this is a significant part of the appeal of choosing a five-star hotel in Cannes in the first place.
Yes — the luxury segment in Cannes extends to gastronomy of a very high order. La Palme d'Or at the Hôtel Martinez is a well-known example, and a number of other hotels also invest seriously in restaurants and bars that draw both resident guests and discerning locals alike.
Prices are at their highest during the Film Festival, major congresses and the most popular weeks of summer. During these periods, suites, terrace rooms and the most iconic properties tend to sell out with considerable speed.
For standard travel dates, three to six months ahead is generally sufficient, but for premium rooms and stays during major events, booking six to twelve months in advance is strongly advisable. The more specific your requirements, the earlier you should act.
In the upper segment, a spa is very much the norm, though the scope varies from property to property. Some hotels offer full-scale wellness facilities with multiple treatment rooms and thermal areas, whilst others focus more on a gym, a curated treatment menu and the pleasures of private beach relaxation.
