Cannes, synonymous with film and fashion, dazzles visitors with its glamorous festivals and luxury lifestyle. The city's hotels are stages for the international elite, offering a blend of French Riviera charm and contemporary luxury. Celebrities and cinephiles are drawn to Cannes for its iconic waterfront, exquisite dining, and the chance to stroll the same red carpets that have hosted cinema's brightest stars.
Leonardo DiCaprio sat for an interview at Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic during the Cannes film circuit, while Bella Hadid has been photographed at the hotel during the festival. These were visits, not overnight stays, but they capture the property's role perfectly. Facing the Croisette, Le Majestic is one of the stages on which Cannes performs its annual ritual of cinema and glamour.
Hôtel Martinez turns its Croisette address into pure Cannes theatre, with Art Deco rooms, a private beach and festival-season glamour at the door. Will Smith stayed here while serving on the 2017 Cannes jury; Selena Gomez later made it her Riviera base for the 2024 premiere of Emilia Pérez.
Carlton Cannes is Belle Époque glamour at its most cinematic, with domed towers, a private Croisette beach and Mediterranean light spilling across its salons. Jessica Chastain has stayed at the landmark during her Cannes years, joining a guest history that runs from Grace Kelly's royal romance to the festival's modern red-carpet stars.
Hotel Cavendish puts its setting first in central Cannes. It is a well-placed retreat with an easy relationship to the streets and character of Cannes.
