Cannes travel guide - where to stay, what to do, and where to eat in Cannes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.

Accommodation overview

Cannes has roughly a hundred hotels, from palace hotels on the Croisette to simple two-star rooms near the station. Prices follow the congress calendar more than the season, so event weeks cost several times the low-season rate. Visitors who want the sea at their door stay on the Croisette; those who want value choose the Rue d'Antibes grid or Montfleury.

Booking tips

Get the best deals and avoid common mistakes.

Tip

Book 4-6 months ahead for the Cannes Film Festival (May), MIPIM (March), Cannes Lions (June) and MIPCOM (October); check the Palais des Festivals calendar at palaisdesfestivals.com before choosing dates.

Tip

Hotels away from the Croisette (Rue d'Antibes, Montfleury, near the station) are often 30-50% cheaper and 5-15 minutes on foot from the beaches.

Tip

Many beachfront hotels have a private beach club; public beaches such as Plage Macé are free for other guests.

Tip

A taxe de séjour is charged per person per night and is usually paid at the hotel.

Tip

Compare the hotel's own website with booking platforms; a free-cancellation rate is worth paying a little more for in unsettled weather or strike periods.

Cannes railway station is at the north of the centre; hotels near it suit day trips to Nice, Antibes and Grasse.
