Hôtel Splendid

Hôtel Splendid is at 4-6 Rue Félix Faure in Cannes, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France, in a position between the Allées de la Liberté and the Palais des Festivals. Many rooms overlook the Old Port, so guests wake to views of the yachts and fishing boats of the Vieux Port, and the Suquet old quarter rises on the western side of the harbour. The Palais des Festivals is a short walk away, the Cannes railway station is close by, and the Croisette promenade and its beaches are reachable on foot in a few minutes. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is roughly 25 to 30 kilometres along the coast. The four-star hotel is historic, with a character that comes from its older building and its harbourside setting rather than from a modern chain template. Room types include Classic Rooms, Sea View Rooms and Family Rooms, and several rooms are equipped with kitchenettes, a practical feature for longer stays and for families who want to prepare simple meals. Air conditioning and wifi are provided, and the sea or harbour views are the main selling point. The price guide of roughly EUR 150 to 420 per night puts it in the upscale-but-moderate bracket, with higher prices during the film festival and summer. The location suits visitors who want to be near the market at Forville, the restaurants around the Old Port and the ferry departures to the Lérins Islands. The service style is that of a classic city hotel, with a reception that can help with transport and excursions, and the property attracts couples, families and festival-goers wanting a central address.
