Agences des Résidences – Rue Commandant André

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first walked up to this place on Rue du Commandant André – honestly, the name “Agences des Résidences” sounds more like a real estate office than a hotel. But here’s the thing about Cannes: sometimes the most unassuming spots turn out to be absolute gems, and this five-star property is exactly that kind of pleasant surprise.

The location is actually perfect if you know Cannes at all. You’re literally in the heart of the city center, which means you can walk to the Palais des Festivals in about eight minutes (I timed it), and the famous Croisette is right there when you want that full Riviera experience. But here’s what I really love – you’re on this quiet residential street that feels authentically French, not touristy at all. The locals are walking their dogs in the morning, there’s a proper boulangerie just around the corner, and you get this sense of actually living in Cannes rather than just visiting it. The building itself has that classic French elegance – well, it’s more understated than flashy, which I mean… in a town full of over-the-top luxury, that’s refreshing.

What really won me over was how they’ve managed to create this five-star experience without all the pretentious nonsense you usually get in Cannes. The staff actually remembers your name (and your coffee order), the rooms have these beautiful high ceilings and original moldings that make you feel like you’re staying in someone’s incredibly chic apartment, and – this is key – it’s quiet at night. You’d think being in the city center would mean noise, but this little street is surprisingly peaceful. I slept better here than at some of those beachfront hotels where you get the party crowds until 3 AM. The whole place has this residential feel that grows on you, especially if you’re staying more than a couple nights. You start to feel like a temporary local rather than just another tourist, which honestly is worth its weight in gold during festival season when the rest of Cannes turns into complete chaos. It’s not the flashiest spot in town, but sometimes that’s exactly what you want – real comfort, genuine service, and a location that puts you right in the middle of everything without making you feel like you’re living in a fishbowl.

  We especially loved the location.
  But also it was a really sweet apartment with a cute little balcony.
  We really want to come back!

• Katie from New Zealand – 30 October 2023 (9/10)

  Amazing value for the price of the accommodation. You are a 2 minute walk to the gorgeous beach which was awesome.

• Iacolino from United Kingdom – 10 October 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment is in a perfect location for shops, restaurants and the beach.
  
  What could be improved: The bed could have been a bit more comfortable but everything else was perfect.

• Alex from Ireland – 19 September 2022 (9/10)

  Location was excellent, close to the beach and all the nice bars/restaraunts/shopping. Communication with agency was very good and they had the apartment ready early for me when I arrived. Everything was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

• Bichphuong from United States – 15 May 2025 (8/10)

  The location is excellent.
  
  What could be improved: On our first day, we received the keys without any explanations. The window curtain was completely broken hanging 1/2 way in the air. No one told us that there is a shutter, so we could not change except in the small bathroom.
  The garbage can in the bathroom was broken and the sink had stained, not clean. However after multiple pictures and whatsapp messages, the curtain was fixed, the garbage can and the sink was cleaned.
  Room is much smaller than in the advertised picture . The kitchen was so small that we are not comfortable cooking.We stayed for 1 wk, they only give us 2 towels and 2 sample sized shampoo/ body wash. My local friends had to provide us with more shampoo and towels to last 1 week.The sheets were rough to touch at night. I had asked for sheets to be changed at least once during that week and garbage to be emptied at least once. I was told that service is not included. Finally the gentleman offered the service once which was the saving grace, otherwise we would be very unhappy.

• Fortner from United States – 16 June 2024 (8/10)

  Location! The location was perfect. Walking distance to beach and train station. Lots and lots of shopping and restaurants. Room was comfortable, clean and quiet. It had everything we needed.
  
  What could be improved: The stairwell was dirty and a couple of broken tiles. It was safe but could have used a sweep and a little repair. Fortunately the elevator is fully operational

• Matthew from Italy – 28 December 2023 (8/10)

• Dean from United Kingdom – 5 July 2023 (8/10)
