I wanted Leo’s 10th birthday to be special and memorable, and Carlton Cannes made it truly unforgettable 🤍 From the very first moment, the warmth was undeniable. The welcome, the smiles, the kindness especially from Kathy, whose passion and genuine attention to Leo truly touched my heart. Our sea view room was everything we hoped for, but it was the thoughtful details the birthday cake and the handwritten note that made it magical. It wasn’t just a stay. It was a feeling. And we will never forget it. A big thank you to the whole team, and especially to Kathy, Nicolas (the baggagiste), and Andrea for making this milestone so special.

From the moment you arrive at this iconic hotel you are greeted warmly by professional staff you’d expect at this type of hotel. The reception staff are the crown jewel of t hi is hotel thanks you for the hospitality. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had in France. Restaurant staff welcoming and helpful and the icing on the cake was the most amazing Omelette I’ve ever had. I’ve stayed at most of the top hotels in the Sth France and this is definitely one of the best. Only gripe was the bar on the ground floor, service was slow and they forget almost every thing. Beach restaurant open in mid Feb amazing weather and Rose wine in the sunshine. Thanks to the great staff you all truly made this a special experience.

Our stay at the iconic Carlton Cannes was absolutely amazing. Cannes was lively, but the Carlton was a calm, elegant escape. We arrived before check in and were warmly welcomed with glasses of Moët and snacks. Perfect after our long drive. Our suite was upgraded and beautifully prepared, with a thoughtful amenity waiting for us. The room was luxurious, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. Every detail throughout the hotel is on point, from the floral arrangements to the smiles greeting you from every corner. The pool was warm and relaxing, and both dinner and breakfast at Riviera Restaurant were exceptional. The beach club was pure joy! Sun, sea, and perfect cocktails. The hospitality and genuine care from everyone made this stay perfection! We stay at IHG hotels often, but the Carlton Cannes truly stands above. Merci for everything!
