L’écrin – 2 pièces – Le Suquet

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about L’écrin? The name sounds fancy, but honestly, this little two-room setup in Le Suquet feels more like staying at your sophisticated French friend’s place than some stuffy hotel. I mean, you’re literally on Rue des Frères – which, if you’ve wandered around Cannes’ old town before, you’ll know puts you right in the thick of those narrow cobblestone streets that wind up the hill. The 8.6 rating makes total sense once you’re there, because while it’s technically a 3-star place, whoever runs it clearly gets what travelers actually want.

The location is what really sells it, though. Le Suquet isn’t where the cruise ship crowds hang out – that’s all down by the Croisette with the big chain hotels. Up here, you’re getting the Cannes that locals actually live in, with those little bistros tucked into corners and the kind of morning bakery smells that drift through your windows. I’ll be straight with you – the climb up from the main part of town will get your heart rate up (especially if you’ve been sampling too much rosé), but that’s also why it stays quieter at night. You can actually hear the church bells from the old Notre-Dame de l’Espérance instead of just car horns and tourist chatter.

What I really appreciated was how the space felt authentic without trying too hard. The two-room setup gives you some breathing room – honestly, after spending days packed shoulder-to-shoulder on the festival circuit or just dealing with summer crowds, having separate spaces to spread out felt like luxury. The owners seem to understand that people staying here aren’t looking for a resort experience; they want to feel connected to the actual city. You’ll end up grocery shopping at the little markets nearby (there’s a decent one just a few streets over), maybe grabbing morning coffee from the same café the locals hit up. And parking – look, it’s Cannes, so don’t expect miracles, but the narrow streets up here actually have more options than down by the waterfront where everyone’s fighting over the same spots. Sure, you might have to do some creative maneuvering, but at least you’re not circling the block for twenty minutes like you would near the Palais des Festivals.

  What could be improved: rien

• Chloé from France – 3 September 2023 (9/10)

  Emplacement fabuleux sur une rue très vivante, tout près de la croisette et à proximité de tout. Parfait pour profiter des soirées cannoises.
  Appartement très confortable et assez spacieux.
  Hôte très réactif et disponible qui nous a même spontanément informés de certains évènements durant notre séjour.
  
  What could be improved: Il semblerait qu'une grande partie des casseroles/poêles ne soient pas adaptées aux plaques à induction de la cuisine.
  Un vis-à-vis important sur l'immeuble d'en face.
  La propreté de la salle de bain n'est pas impeccable, sans être alarmante pour autant.

  L’emplacement de cet appartement est tout simplement incroyable. Vous pouvez tout faire à pied. De plus, le personnel a été très réactif lorsque nous avons eu besoin de lui pour un pb de clim. Je ne peux que recommander L’écrin !
