The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- The 1911 facade and grand interiors maintain their historic character following a meticulous renovation. These architectural details provide a sense of place that connects guests to the storied heritage of the French Riviera.
- Positioned in the heart of Cannes, the hotel offers direct access to high-end boutiques and is a short walk from the Palais des Festivals. This central setting is ideal for both leisure and business travelers.
Things to Consider
- Daily rates for sun loungers at the beach club can be substantial, which is typical for the region's luxury sector. Guests should account for these additional costs when planning extended stays by the water.
- Given its prominent location on the Croisette, the hotel can experience elevated noise levels during the Film Festival or major conventions. Requesting a courtyard-facing room can significantly mitigate this issue for light sleepers.

What guests say
Reviews from Google“My stay at Carlton Cannes was nothing short of exceptional. It truly delivers the level of luxury and service you would expect from such an iconic hotel. What made the experience especially memorable was the incredible team. Elise from Guest Relations welcomed me with genuine warmth and professionalism, making me feel valued from the very beginning. A special mention also goes to Loic at the Beach Club. His service was simply phenomenal. Having visited several beach clubs in Cannes, I can honestly say I have never experienced such a warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming approach. He perfectly combines professionalism with natural hospitality. The hotel itself is beautiful, the atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, and every interaction with the staff reflected an exceptional attention to detail. Experiences like this are what define true luxury hospitality. Highly recommended.”
“Staying at the Carlton is like being transported to another era when hotel stays were elegant and quality service was paramount. This historic hotel is stunning to look at inside and out. Excellent gym/spa and, the Carlton Beach Club is impeccably run, whether for drinks, a meal or for renting lounge chairs on the pier for the day. Francois, our “plagiste”, did not let a need or a want go by. He is 100% attentive, kind and engaging, making the Carlton Beach Club experience go beyond our expectations. Should you wish to treat yourself to something spectacular on the Riviera, the Carlton is it!”
“Go to the beach club and ask for Lucas. He’s the most amazing wonderful, talented kind attentive server in the entire place. He brought me the best Matcha cocoa, and he was very quick to respond to every request. He made sure the fan hit our direction in order to keep us cool. He offered us a towel towels. He was just amazing and made our day special. Thank you, Lucas.!!!💗”
“We had an absolute blast! Delphine was incredibly professional and handled every little hiccup with ease. The service was top-notch both at the beach club and throughout the hotel. We’re so grateful to have stayed at this amazing property.”
“The Carlton Cannes is simply spectacular and, in my opinion, the only place to stay in Cannes. From the moment you arrive, you're surrounded by timeless elegance, impeccable service, and an atmosphere that perfectly captures the glamour of the French Riviera. Our oceanfront suite was absolutely breathtaking. Waking up each morning to the panoramic views of the Mediterranean was unforgettable, and the room itself was beautifully appointed with every luxury you could ask for. The service throughout our stay was exceptional—warm, attentive, and consistently professional. Breakfast each morning was wonderful, with an excellent selection and a beautiful setting overlooking the sea. The bar quickly became one of our favorite spots. It had such a chic, vibrant atmosphere, filled with beautiful people and a sophisticated yet relaxed vibe that made every evening feel special. Everything about our stay exceeded expectations. The Carlton is one of our favorite hotels anywhere in the world, and we can't wait to return. Five stars all the way.”
