49 CLEM – Superbe appartement 2 chambres 4 pers avec vue mer

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Cannes over the years, and honestly? This little gem on Rue Georges Clemenceau caught me completely off guard. The name’s a mouthful – 49 CLEM whatever – but don’t let that throw you off. What you’re getting is basically a perfect two-bedroom setup that feels way more upscale than its 3-star rating suggests.

The location is what really gets me excited about this place. You’re literally in the heart of everything on Clemenceau, which means you can stumble to Le Suquet for dinner, grab your morning coffee at one of those tiny cafés that locals actually use, and still make it to the Croisette without breaking a sweat. But here’s the thing everyone misses – you get the sea view without paying Croisette prices or dealing with that tourist circus right outside your door. I mean, you can actually hear the waves from the apartment, especially in the evening when the street noise dies down. The building itself is typical Cannes – that solid, slightly weathered French architecture that’s seen decades of festival-goers and summer crowds.

Inside, it’s clear someone actually thought about how people live, not just how a place photographs. The kitchen has real counter space (you know how rare that is in European apartments), and the bedrooms are sized for actual humans, not sardines. What really sold me was the morning light – it hits that sea-facing window just right, and you get this gorgeous view that stretches toward the Îles de Lérins on clear days. The whole place feels lived-in but well-maintained, if that makes sense. Like, the furniture isn’t trying too hard to be trendy, but everything works and feels comfortable.

Parking can be a bit of a dance in this neighborhood – there’s street parking but it fills up fast during festival season and summer weekends. Pro tip: there’s a public lot about a three-minute walk away that most tourists don’t know about. The building’s entrance is typical old-school French, so don’t expect a fancy lobby, but the apartment itself punches way above its weight class. Honestly, at a 9 rating, other guests clearly get what I’m talking about. You’re paying for location and that view, sure, but you’re also getting a place that feels like home base rather than just somewhere to crash between beach days and evening walks along La Croisette.
