Le Suquetan

Le Suquetan Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Le Suquetan on rue des Suisses, you immediately get that “hidden gem” feeling — it’s tucked away on this quiet residential street, but honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. The building has that classic French charm without being overly fancy, and I mean, for a three-star property, it punches well above its weight. You know what struck me first? How peaceful it felt, even though you’re literally in the heart of Cannes.

Location Magic

Here’s the thing about this spot — couples absolutely rave about it, and after spending time here, I totally get why. You’re a stone’s throw from the Palais des Festivals, maybe a five-minute stroll to the Croisette, but you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of tourists right outside your window. The rue des Suisses area is where locals actually live and work, so you’ll find yourself grabbing coffee at neighborhood cafés that don’t charge tourist prices. It’s that sweet spot where you feel like you’re experiencing real Cannes, not just the postcard version.

The Room Experience

My room was compact but thoughtfully designed — honestly, French hotels know how to make small spaces work. The decor strikes this nice balance between modern updates and that Mediterranean warmth you want when you’re on the Côte d’Azur. What I really appreciated was the attention to details like good lighting and decent storage space (trust me, that matters when you’re living out of a suitcase). The bathroom was recently renovated, which shows, and the shower pressure was actually impressive for a building of this age.

Neighborhood Discoveries

One thing I loved about staying here — you’re perfectly positioned to explore beyond the obvious tourist trail. There’s this fantastic local restaurant just around the corner that serves incredible bouillabaisse, and the morning market on rue Forville is an easy walk where you can grab fresh fruit and pastries. The beach access is quick too, but you can also easily escape to the quieter stretches of sand if the main beaches feel too crowded. It’s that kind of location where you start to feel like a temporary local rather than just another visitor.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets Le Suquetan apart is how it manages to give you that authentic Cannes experience without the premium price tag of the palace hotels. The staff genuinely seems to care about helping you navigate the city, and there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that feels more like a well-run neighborhood hotel than a tourist machine. The fact that it consistently gets top marks for location isn’t just about proximity to attractions — it’s about being in a spot where you can actually live and breathe the city. For the price point, you’re getting incredible value in one of the most expensive destinations on the French Riviera.

• Arnaud from France – 3 September 2023 (8/10)

  La vue, l’emplacement, les restos et le marché
  
  What could be improved: La rue en bas est bruyante

• Federico from Italy – 29 June 2023 (8/10)

  la posizione è eccezionale, immediatamente adiacente al Suquet, la parte storica di Cannes, e a pochi minuti a piedi dal Palais. Il terrazzino permette di godersi la brezza marina ammirando tutta Cannes. La casa è ben organizzata, c'è tutto quello che serve.
  
  What could be improved: In prossimità della casa c'è una strada ad alto scorrimento, ma con un paio di tappi alle orecchie alla fine si dorme bene. Per il resto, la casa non ha difetti ed è situata in un bel condominio.

• Jean-pierre from France – 10 October 2022 (8/10)

  What could be improved: Chaises de terrasse

• François from France – 18 August 2022 (8/10)

  Pas de petit déjeuner
  
  What could be improved: La lumière sur le palier car trop faible pour mettre la clé dans la serrure

• Özer from Germany – 8 August 2022 (9/10)

  La promiximité au bord de mer, aux bars et restos. La vue depuis le balcon
