Hôtel Molière

Hôtel Molière is a small three-star hotel at 5 Rue Molière in Cannes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. It stands in the same quiet street as Hôtel de Provence and is about 150 metres from the sea, so the Croisette beaches and the Palais des Festivals are within an easy walk. The Rue d'Antibes shopping street and Cannes railway station lie a few blocks inland, and Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is roughly 25 to 30 kilometres along the coast. The hotel is in the mid-range category and its main distinguishing feature is a garden, a rarity in the central streets of Cannes, which gives guests a calm outdoor space for breakfast or a quiet drink. Room types are Standard Rooms and Double Rooms, and air conditioning and wifi are provided, with breakfast available. The price guide of roughly EUR 90 to 250 per night keeps it among the more affordable options so close to the sea, though rates rise during the film festival and in July and August. The scale is small, which means a more personal level of service than larger chain properties, with a reception that can arrange taxis, suggest restaurants in the Suquet old quarter and advise on boat trips to the Lérins Islands. The quiet side-street setting appeals to couples, repeat visitors and travellers who want proximity to the beach without the noise of the Croisette itself. There is no pool or spa, so guests use the public and private beaches nearby. Anyone visiting during peak events should reserve well in advance because a limited number of rooms fills quickly.
