Popular Hotels on the Croisette in Cannes



Welcome to Cannes, on the French Riviera!

Cannes, France is famous for its white-sand beaches and the graceful curve of La Croisette (the crescent shape of its waterfront). The beau monde in the 19th century came here to relax and dine in elegant hotels — and enjoy the sunny delights of the south of France!

Today travelers arrive mostly by train, airport van, and sports car. Join them on the terraces of legendary Cannes hotels (such as The Carlton) or under the parasols of quaint cafes.

The Palais des Congrès attracts the film cognoscenti each May for awards season at the Cannes Film Festival. Find the perfect Cannes hotel for your next holiday.

Insider Travel Tips

  • The convention center in Cannes (Palais des Festivals et des Congrès) sits proudly on the waterfront, between the Vieux Port and the beaches of the Croisette.
  • For vegetables, seafood, cheese & flowers, visit the Marché Forville, Cannes’ indoor market a few blocks from the Vieux Port. Gather your olives, tomatoes and picnic items before 1 pm! (Closed Mondays)
  • The Suquet district is the oldest part of Cannes, on a hill with views of the town and nearby islands. Its medieval streets (home of Museum of World Explorations), tower, and church (Notre-Dame de l’Espérance) have long inspired artists. Stroll 5 minutes up Mont Chevalier under the shade of umbrella pines for panoramic views.
  • A 15-minute boat ride across the turquoise Bay of Cannes takes you to the Lérins Islands. Their unspoiled nature, spirituality, and vineyards offer an idyllic day trip.
