Following an extensive two-year restoration valued at over €350 million, the legendary Carlton Cannes has emerged with a renewed sense of grandeur. Now part of the prestigious Regent Hotels portfolio and under the stewardship of Katara Hospitality, this iconic address on the French Riviera continues to set the gold standard for luxury hospitality—especially during the globally celebrated Cannes Film Festival. Since its debut in 1912, the hotel—formerly known as InterContinental Carlton Cannes—temporarily closed doors in 2020 for its most ambitious transformation to date.
Recognized as a historic monument, the Carlton Cannes stands proudly at 58 boulevard de la Croisette, mere moments from the famed Palais des Festivals. The property now offers 332 elegantly redesigned rooms and suites, including 72 with sweeping vistas of the Mediterranean, alongside 37 residential-style suites for extended stays. Guests luxuriate in the city’s largest infinity pool, a world-class spa, private cabanas, and sun-drenched terraces. Gastronomy takes center stage, with three distinct restaurants and bars, plus the celebrated Beach Club—each offering refined Riviera cuisine. The hotel’s Belle Époque façade, with its signature “Carlton Hotel” script, has been meticulously restored, honoring its storied legacy.
The Cannes Film Festival, established in 1939 and running this year from May 13 to 24, draws international filmmakers and celebrities alike. Over the decades, the Carlton has welcomed silver-screen legends such as Robert De Niro and Scarlett Johansson, and played host to dignitaries like President Barack Obama during the 2011 G20 summit. Music aficionados may also recall its starring role in Elton John’s iconic “I’m Still Standing” music video.
Regent Hotels, now a flagship brand within IHG Hotels & Resorts, continues to elevate the Carlton Cannes as a beacon of timeless elegance and innovation on the Côte d’Azur.
