Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Five Seas by Inwood Hotels serves as an excellent base for visitors wanting modern guest rooms close to local attractions. Guests review it excellently, with highlights including private beach access and a rooftop terrace featuring a heated pool. The hotel is situated just steps from the Palais and La Croisette. However, the rooftop swimming pool is quite compact, and guests staying on lower floors might experience street noise.
Guests score it 9.0 out of 10 — the average across the 6 hotels we list in Cannes is 9.1.
What Guests Loved
- The hotel is situated just 100 meters from the Croisette sandy beaches and the Palais des Festivals, making it highly convenient for film festival attendees and leisure travelers.
- Located on the fifth floor, the rooftop terrace features a 13-yard heated pool and lounge bar, offering a tranquil escape with panoramic views over the Cannes rooftops.
Things to Consider
- At 13 yards, the rooftop swimming pool is relatively compact and can feel crowded during peak afternoon hours. Guests seeking lap swimming may find it limiting.
- Its central city location means lower-floor street-facing rooms may experience occasional noise from late-night pedestrian traffic. Booking a higher-floor room or courtyard view is recommended.
