CLEMENCEAU Plage Palais Cannes

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be straight with you about the CLEMENCEAU Plage Palais – it’s one of those places that actually gets Cannes right without trying to be the Carlton or some flashy palace hotel. When I first walked up to it on Rue Georges Clemenceau, honestly, the exterior doesn’t scream “luxury,” but that’s kind of the point. You’re literally a two-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals (you know, where all the film festival madness happens), and here’s the thing most tourists don’t realize – you can cut through the little side streets and hit the beach at Plage du Palais without dealing with the Croisette crowds.

The rooms are… well, they’re solid 3-star territory, which means clean and functional but don’t expect marble everything. What I actually loved was how quiet it gets at night, even during festival season – something about being just off the main drag but not buried in some residential area. The staff genuinely knows the neighborhood, too. When I asked about parking (because honestly, driving in Cannes is a nightmare), they pointed me to this little municipal lot I never would’ve found otherwise. The breakfast situation is pretty standard European hotel fare, but there’s this tiny café literally next door where locals grab their morning coffee, and the croissants are infinitely better – just saying.

Here’s what makes this place work: location without the location premium. You’re close enough to walk to basically everything that matters in Cannes – the old town (Le Suquet) is maybe ten minutes uphill, the shopping on Rue d’Antibes is right there, and when you need a break from all the tourist chaos, you can actually retreat to somewhere that feels normal. I mean, it’s not going to blow your mind, and the 7.4 rating feels pretty accurate – it’s good, not great, but sometimes good is exactly what you need. The beds are comfortable, the shower has decent pressure, and you won’t spend your entire vacation budget just sleeping there. If you’re the type who wants to experience Cannes rather than just Instagram your hotel room, this place gets you out the door and into the city without any fuss.

Visitors often choose Cannes apartments over traditional hotels because they provide more space, kitchen facilities, and the opportunity to live like a local in this magnificent French Riviera destination.
