Hôtel Montaigne & Spa – Cannes Centre

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Hôtel Montaigne & Spa? It’s tucked away on this quiet little street that most tourists completely miss, but you’re literally a three-minute walk from all the Cannes chaos. I mean, you step out the front door and Rue d’Antibes – where all the good shopping happens – is right there, but somehow this corner of Carnot feels almost residential. It’s one of those happy accidents of location that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something.

The hotel itself has this understated French elegance thing going on, which honestly works way better than some of the flashier places closer to the Croisette. The spa (and yes, it’s actually worth using) becomes this little refuge when the festival crowds get overwhelming or when you’ve spent too many hours wandering the old town. I watched people stumble in looking frazzled from a day of tourist madness and emerge looking genuinely relaxed. The staff has that particular French hospitality approach – they’re not going to hover, but they know their stuff when you need them. Check-in was smooth, no drama with the parking situation, and they actually gave useful recommendations instead of just pointing you toward the obvious tourist traps.

What really sells this place for me is how it sits in Cannes’ geography. You’re close enough to walk to the Palais des Festivals without breaking a sweat, but far enough from the waterfront that you’re not dealing with cruise ship crowds at 7 AM. The morning walk to grab coffee near the port becomes this nice little routine – down through the winding streets, past those tiny boutiques that haven’t changed in decades. And here’s something the booking sites don’t tell you: the Carnot area has some genuinely good restaurants that locals actually use, not just the tourist-menu places. The hotel sits right in the sweet spot where you can duck back for a midday break (especially crucial during festival season) but still feel connected to everything that makes Cannes worth visiting. That 8.3 rating feels about right – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it delivers on the things that actually matter when you’re staying somewhere for more than just sleeping.

Apartments in Cannes provide travelers with an authentic local experience, allowing them to shop at traditional Provençal markets and cook with fresh ingredients from the renowned French Mediterranean culinary traditions.

• Nice hotel in a great quiet location. All amenities were within a hop skip and a jump!! Very close – Harjit from United Kingdom – 8 June 2025 (9/10)

  We managed to get an upgrade to a junior suite which was nice. However, the flooring from the bedroom to the adjacent sitting area was absolutely terrible. All the laminate flooring was bubbling, top layer missing, all water damaged.
  
  A terrible shame that the flooring g let down an otherwise decent experience.
  
  What could be improved: A new floor is essential.

• Superb – Marc from Italy – 6 April 2025 (9/10)

  I liked everything in the hotel.. The staffs are very friendly and I booked in a classic room but when we came they already upgrade our room in a deluxe room.. Very good accommodation and comfortable.. We should come back here again and very recommendable to our friends..

• Great location – Ana from Serbia – 14 September 2024 (8/10)

  Location is really good and central, in less noisy street. Bed is extremely comfortable.
  
  What could be improved: Mini fridge in the room can not take more then 3 0.5l bottles.
  Spa has only hammam a small poll too small to swim.
  Gym is equipped only with tread mill and cycling. There was power plate too, but it’s out of order.

  Squeaky clean and modern rooms. Super quiet. Very friendly staff.
  
  What could be improved: Check-out is at the same time the breakfast ends

• We had a good time in Cannes. It’s very congested town better to visit during weekdays – Ayesha from United Arab Emirates – 1 September 2024 (9/10)

  The parking is within the building, you don’t have ta go out or walk far
  I was upgraded to bigger room , it was very clean also the bed sheets were super clean
  
  What could be improved: I wish they provide better breakfast .. actually I think better to take the room without breakfast.. you can go outside and have it .. this is what I did ..
