Croisette carre d’or

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Croisette carre d’or? The name makes it sound all fancy and intimidating, but honestly, it’s got this incredibly welcoming, almost intimate feel that you just don’t expect from a 4-star place in Cannes. I mean, sure, it’s right in the thick of things on Rue du Commandant Andre – literally a two-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals where all the film festival madness happens – but somehow it feels like you’ve discovered this little secret that the cruise ship crowds haven’t figured out yet.

The first thing you should know is there’s no elevator, so if you’re dragging three massive suitcases or have mobility issues, this might not be your spot. But honestly? That one flight of stairs is worth it because you’re staying in what feels like a beautifully renovated apartment rather than some sterile hotel room. The whole setup is on the first floor (which is actually the second floor if you’re American – European counting, you know), and there’s something charming about hearing the gentle sounds of Cannes street life filtering up through the windows. Early mornings are pretty quiet, but by 9 AM you’ll catch snippets of rapid-fire French from the café owners setting up below and the occasional rumble of delivery trucks navigating those narrow streets.

What really sold me on this place – and I think why it’s pulling that impressive 9.2 rating – is how the owners actually seem to understand what travelers need. The location puts you right in the sweet spot where you can walk to the fancy boutiques on Rue d’Antibes (about four blocks), hit the beaches along La Croisette without breaking a sweat, and still grab authentic, reasonably-priced meals at places like Chez Astoux just around the corner. I discovered that little gem because the front desk actually recommended it instead of steering me toward some tourist trap. There’s also this fantastic fromagerie practically next door that locals line up at every morning – the kind of detail that makes you feel like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting it. The rooms themselves have this modern-meets-Mediterranean thing going on without feeling overdone, and the beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses). Parking can be a bit of a puzzle in this neighborhood, but there’s a public garage about three blocks away that won’t completely destroy your budget. During festival season this whole area gets absolutely bonkers – like, shoulder-to-shoulder crowds – but the rest of the year it strikes this perfect balance between lively and livable.

Early hotels booking in Cannes is essential during major events like the Film Festival, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned glamorous atmosphere and luxury shopping.

• Bogneri from Italy – 8 January 2024 (9/10)

  The apartment, very well well furnished and equipped with everything, was clean and comfortable. And even if she could not be present in person, we were warmly welcomed by Aisha who has taken care during our stay to verify everything was ok and if we needed assistance. We have been there in winter, the apartment was naturally warm even without switching air conditioning on, but anyway it worked very well. Beds and pillows very comfortable.
