3-Br Apartment Steps from Palais des Festivals Overview
First Impressions
Walking up to 3-Br Apartment Steps from Palais des Festivals, you immediately understand why this place gets such rave reviews. I mean, the location is honestly ridiculous — you’re literally a two-minute walk from where all the Cannes Film Festival magic happens. The building itself sits on rue Bivouac Napoléon, which sounds fancy but is actually just a quiet residential street that somehow manages to be right in the thick of everything without the tourist chaos.
Location & Neighborhood
Here’s what I love about staying in Cannes city center — you can roll out of bed and be at the Palais des Festivals before your morning coffee kicks in. This four-star property really nails the location game with that perfect 10.0 score, and honestly, it’s deserved. You’re close enough to hear the buzz from La Croisette, but far enough away that you can actually get some sleep. The local bakeries are right around the corner (trust me, you’ll want those croissants), and the main shopping streets are all walkable.
The Space
The apartment itself is surprisingly spacious for Cannes standards — three bedrooms means you’re not fighting over bathroom time, which is a blessing if you’re traveling with friends or family. The kitchen is actually functional, not just for show, so you can save some euros by making breakfast instead of paying café prices every morning. Each room has enough space to spread out your stuff, and the windows let in that gorgeous Mediterranean light that makes everything look better in photos.
What Makes It Special
You know what really sets this place apart? It feels like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting. The neighbors nod hello in the hallway, there’s a proper French restaurant downstairs where locals actually eat, and you start to understand the rhythm of the city. Couples seem to absolutely love it here — and I get why. There’s something romantic about having your own little French apartment steps away from one of the world’s most glamorous events, even when the festival isn’t happening.
Why Guests Love It
The 9.4 rating tells the real story here. People come expecting a decent place to crash near the action, but they leave feeling like they discovered something special. The combination of that unbeatable location, the space to actually live comfortably, and the authentic neighborhood vibe creates something you just can’t get in a traditional hotel. Plus, let’s be honest — parking in Cannes is a nightmare, but being this central means you can ditch the car and walk everywhere that matters. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself planning your next trip back before you’ve even checked out. Whether you’re visiting for business or leisure, this apartment delivers an experience that lingers long after departure.

Nuño from Spain – 29 December 2024 (9/10)
Luxury apart close by, literally 2 min walk, to Palais des Festivals.
What could be improved: Everything great, maybe obviously the prices but depends on the congress and events,.and it applies for any other apartment at Cannes close to the Palais.Gregoire from France – 23 November 2024 (9/10)
appartement spacieux, très bien équipé. emplacement idéal pour participer à un salon professionnel au plais des congrès et "profiter" des restaurants à proximité.
What could be improved: le bruit des restaurants juste en dessous tard en soirée coté rue.
il manque des clapets équilibreurs de pression sur les évacuations.
la hauteur des allèges des fenêtres coté rue nécessiterais un garde corp pour respecter les normes de sécurité.Cäcilie from Germany – 8 October 2024 (9/10)
Ilona from France – 17 August 2024 (10/10)

What could be improved: Rien à direValdete from Switzerland – 2 August 2024 (10/10)
Eine absolut zentrale Lage. Die Wohnung hat definitiv alles was man braucht.
What could be improved: Alles perfekt.Ben from United Kingdom – 16 March 2024 (9/10)
Great location, right in the middle of Ken just a short walk from everywhere you would need to go to.
What could be improved: Nothing really. It was a little noisy in the front rooms in the evening with her opposite the bar closes and then it’s lovelySilvia from Italy – 12 December 2023 (9/10)
Posizione perfetta per raggiungere il Palais des Festivals. Cucina equipaggiata benissimo. Salone molto ampio.
What could be improved: Finestre non insonorizzanti ed essendo l'appartamento sopra un ristorante con di fronte un wine bar, entrambi molto frequentati, c'era molto rumore fino a tardi.
