Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 23 August 2026 · How we review hotels
Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel is best for heritage lovers seeking an iconic beachfront address on the Boulevard de la Croisette. Backing this up is a high Google rating of 4.6 from 5615 reviews and a Booking score of 9.5 from 828 reviews. Guests benefit from its preserved Belle Epoque architectural features, a private beach club, and a landscaped garden with an infinity pool. However, street-side rooms can experience event-related noise, and there is premium pricing for beach amenities.
Guests score it 9.5 out of 10 — the average across the 7 hotels we list in Cannes is 9.2.
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.

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 stayed at the Carlton Cannes, for 4 nights and had an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The hotel beautifully combines its historic elegance with modern comfort, creating a truly unique atmosphere. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the housekeeping team was incredibly attentive and detail-oriented. What made our stay even more special was the exceptional service provided by the staff. Everyone, from the reception team to the beach staff, was warm, professional, and genuinely committed to ensuring guests had the best possible experience. The breakfast exceeded our expectations, offering a great variety of high-quality and delicious options each morning. We also especially loved the charming garden area at the back of the hotel, with its small gazebo-like seating spaces. It was peaceful, beautifully designed, and the perfect place to relax away from the crowds. The private beach service was equally impressive. The staff were attentive and welcoming, and having a sandy beach was a huge advantage, especially since many beaches in Cannes are pebbled. It made our beach experience much more enjoyable. Overall, our 4-night stay was truly unforgettable. The elegant atmosphere, outstanding hospitality, and attention to detail made us feel genuinely valued as guests. We would not hesitate to stay here again on our next visit to Cannes. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so memorable. We hope to return soon.”
“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.”
