Résidence Hôtelière Les Palmistes is a serviced apartment property at 10 Avenue du Général de Gaulle in central Cayenne, French Guiana, offering self-catering studio and apartment accommodation a short walk from Place des Palmistes. The residence caters primarily to extended-stay travellers — government workers on posting, NGO staff, researchers, and families in transit — who benefit from the independence of kitchenette-equipped units at a more affordable nightly rate than conventional hotel rooms. The building is a practical Cayenne residential-commercial structure well situated in the city's administrative core. Studio apartments are the base unit; One-Bedroom and Two-Bedroom Apartment configurations are also available, with fully equipped kitchenettes featuring a microwave, refrigerator, and hotplate. All units include air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and laundry access — either in-unit or via a shared laundry room. Self-catering is the norm: Avenue du Général de Gaulle and the surrounding central market district put groceries, fresh local produce, and Creole prepared foods within easy walking distance. The avenue address means guests are within minutes of Cayenne's commercial core, the Place des Palmistes waterfront, and the main government quarter. Félix Eboué International Airport is approximately 17 km southwest and reachable by taxi in 25–30 minutes. Weekly and monthly rate reductions often apply for longer stays, making the residence particularly cost-effective for project-based visitors. For travellers on multi-week assignments in the capital of French Guiana who prefer the practical flexibility of an apartment over a hotel room, Résidence Les Palmistes offers a well-located and competitively priced base.
