Hôtel Cavendish

Hôtel Cavendish is a four-star hotel at 11 Boulevard Carnot in Cannes, in France's Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It occupies a Belle Époque corner building on Boulevard Carnot, one of the main avenues running inland from the Croisette area towards the upper part of town. The position is a few minutes' walk from the seafront and the Palais des Festivals is roughly fifteen minutes away, while Cannes railway station is about ten to fifteen minutes on foot. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is around 25 km to the east. The building retains much of its period character, with decorative interiors and a period feel in the public rooms that distinguishes it from the modern chain hotels in the centre. Rooms are available as Classic Rooms, Superior Rooms and Junior Suites, and nightly rates generally run from EUR 140 to EUR 400 depending on season and events. Amenities include air conditioning, wifi, a bar and a rooftop terrace, which offers views over the rooftops of Cannes and is a popular place to relax in the evening during the warmer months. The hotel does not advertise a pool or large spa, so the experience centres on atmosphere, location and the terrace. Breakfast is available on site and the surrounding streets contain many restaurants and cafés for other meals. Service is personal and suited to couples and independent travellers who value period architecture, as well as business visitors attending events in the city. Staff can recommend restaurants, beach clubs and day trips by train to Nice, Antibes and Grasse or by boat to the Lérins Islands. Rates rise significantly during the Cannes Film Festival in May, MIPIM in March and Cannes Lions in June, so early booking is advisable. Outside those periods the hotel offers a characterful and comparatively moderate way to stay in central Cannes, with spring and autumn offering the most comfortable weather for exploring the town on foot. Light sleepers may wish to ask for an inner-facing room, as the boulevard carries traffic.
