Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel 5*
A grand Belle‑Époque icon on La Croisette.
Where cinematic heritage and lavish renewal converge under Riviera blue skies.
Hotel Overview
Originally opened in 1911 and renovated through spring 2023, Carlton blends neo‑Renaissance architecture and Tristan Auer’s refined interiors. Its ornate domed corners, silk‑lined salons and sweeping façades have been restored while modern suites now perch in two new wings. Its restored inner garden hosts Cannes’ largest infinity pool. The hotel famously hosted the first Cannes Film Festival in 1946 and remains at the heart of Riviera glamour
The Facilities at a Glance
Dining includes Riviera Restaurant on the Croisette terrace, Anatolian‑inspired Rüya, casual beach club dining and cocktails at the elegant Bar. Wellness has a spa with Turkish bath, treatment rooms, sauna and fitness suite complete with boxing ring endorsed by Mike Tyson. An internal garden lounge offers alfresco respite. In-room offerings include plush linens, Nespresso, customized toiletries and concierge‑curated guest experiences such as festival access or yacht trips.
Our Personal Recommendations
We love Carlton for its cinematic spirit and Riviera flair. Begin with cocktails in the garden bar at sunset, then dine under palm‑framed chandeliers at Riviera Restaurant. Ask concierge to arrange a private boat tour or Festival red‑carpet peek. For spectacle, reserve the Penthouse Suite or Katara Suite with rooftop pool. End your evening on the terrace with a rosé—this hotel is legend continually reborn.
