Hôtel Embassy

Hôtel Embassy is a three-star hotel at 1 bis Rue Inkermann in the centre of Cannes, in France's Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. It stands on a side street between Rue d'Antibes and the Boulevard de la Croisette, so the shops, restaurants and beaches are all within a few minutes on foot. The Palais des Festivals is roughly fifteen minutes' walk to the west, Cannes railway station is about fifteen minutes away, and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport lies around 25 km to the east. The side-street position means it is quieter than the main shopping street while remaining in the middle of town. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms and Family Rooms, which suit couples and small families, and nightly rates generally range from EUR 80 to EUR 230 depending on the season and events calendar. Amenities include air conditioning and wifi, which are important for comfort in the summer heat. The hotel does not advertise a pool, spa or restaurant, so guests typically eat at the many cafés, bakeries and restaurants nearby on Rue d'Antibes and around the Marché Forville. Service is practical and friendly, aimed at leisure travellers, small families and business visitors attending events at the Palais des Festivals who prefer a moderate price, and staff can advise on beach clubs, public beaches and excursions to Nice, Antibes, Grasse and the Lérins Islands. Prices rise sharply during the Cannes Film Festival in May, MIPIM in March and Cannes Lions in June, so early booking is advisable. In spring and autumn, the hotel offers good value for a central address, and summer is the busy beach season when public sections of the Croisette sands are crowded by midday. Visitors who want the sea close but a calmer street than the main avenues often choose this type of side-street hotel, and the walk to the old town and the Vieux Port is pleasant and short.
