About Cannes

Cannes is the glitzy heart of the French Riviera — think sun-soaked beaches, sleek yachts, and that irresistible La Croisette sparkle. If you're chasing both glamor and great hotels, you're in the right place. From chic boutique hideaways to five-star legends with rooftop pools and private beaches, Cannes delivers. Stay near La Croisette for luxe experiences, or head to Le Suquet for charm on a budget. Families love Palm Beach; design lovers, the quieter backstreets. Cannes knows how to do hotels right.

Cannes is not just about its glamorous bay and superyachts — there’s plenty to explore, from the famous sandy beaches to the charming old town, Le Suquet, with its cobbled streets and panoramic views. You can stroll along the iconic Croisette, lined with luxury shops, or take a boat trip to the nearby Lérins Islands, home to beautiful nature and historic sites like the Fort Royal. While the Cannes Film Festival adds extra sparkle in May, the city offers a vibrant atmosphere year-round with art galleries, great dining, and lively nightlife. Just be sure to book your hotel early, as the best places to stay in Cannes tend to fill up fast!

Prefer an apartment or villa?

  • If you’d prefer to stay in a self-catering apartment or private villa we recommend you visit our online partner Booking.com.

Travel information

  • Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport is about 17 miles from Cannes. Cruise ships anchor directly in the bay.
  • If you want to hire a car, which is useful if you’re staying in Cannes and you want to see more of the Côte d'Azur, we recommend you visit our online partner Rentalcars. Try to book your parking in advance wherever possible.
  • Cannes has a delightful Mediterranean climate, which means it is mild and brilliantly sunny for most of the year, except winters, which are cool and sunny. The Mistral winds keep Cannes from baking during the summer months and keep the rain showers moving so that Cannes gets passing showers rather than days of rain. October and November are the wettest months. Obviously, Cannes is great during the film festival and in the weeks on either side when it’s all dolled up and looking its best. But, of course, it is busy.
