Despite its renewed aesthetic, the soul of the hotel remains intact. Original architectural details and Belle Époque charm continue to define the property, balancing Riviera nostalgia with modern refinement.

The Heart of Cannes
Carlton Cannes is more than a luxury hotel; it is a symbol of the city itself. Its location along the Croisette places guests at the center of Cannes’ vibrant social and cultural energy. During major international events, the hotel transforms into one of the Riviera’s most coveted gathering places, attracting filmmakers, artists, celebrities, and discerning travelers from around the world.
Yet beyond the glamour, the hotel also offers a relaxed Riviera lifestyle. Mornings begin with sea views and sunlit terraces, afternoons invite leisurely strolls along the promenade, and evenings unfold over elegant dinners and cocktails beneath the Mediterranean sky.
The property’s atmosphere effortlessly captures the duality of Cannes — sophisticated yet relaxed, historic yet contemporary.
