Overview


Inaugurated in 1913, the Carlton is the quintessential symbol of the Côte d'Azur’s Belle Époque. Its iconic twin domes were reportedly inspired by the breasts of "La Belle Otero," a famous courtesan of the era. The hotel has served as the backdrop for cinema history—from Alfred Hitchcock’s To Catch a Thief to the signing of the first League of Nations covenant. Following a monumental 2023 renovation, the hotel has preserved its historic "Grand Dame" facade while adding a massive inner garden and the most sophisticated beach club on the Croisette, reclaiming its crown as the social heart of the Cannes Film Festival.

Highlights


  • Historic Belle Époque landmark that served as the venue for the first-ever League of Nations meeting in 1922
  • Home to the legendary "Grace Kelly Suite," named after the actress who filmed To Catch a Thief on-site
  • Features a meticulously restored facade that is a protected national monument of France
  • Boasts the largest private beach club on the iconic Boulevard de la Croisette

Why We Recommend

Reborn in 2023, the Carlton has reclaimed its crown as the "Grande Dame" of the Croisette. We recommend it for its legendary Belle Époque facade and the way it balances the high-octane glamour of the Film Festival with a surprisingly serene inner garden and the most sophisticated beach club in the South of France.
