The best Cannes hotels for an A-list-approved escape
Where film stars flock to for the festival each May
The French Riviera is one of the most glamorous places on the planet and things come to a peak every May, when half of Hollywood decamps to Cannes – and if you’re hoping to join them, these are the best Cannes hotels.
La Croisette is among France’s most famous streets, curving along the coast with grand hotels and equally upscale shops. Fittingly, Cannes has its own version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which of course sounds better in French: the Allée des Etoiles.
To be in with a shot of spying a celebrity (needless to say, the odds are increased every May), book a stay at Hôtel Martinez by Hyatt, set in an art deco building that’s been a presence in the region for more than a century.
Equally starry is Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic, also on La Croisette, with its own beach, plus a branch of the legendary Parisian brasserie Fouquet’s and treatments at the spa that will have you ready for the red carpet in no time.
A short drive north in mediaeval Mougins, Les Rosées is a 400-year-old guesthouse with olive trees in its peaceful grounds that are even older.
