Les Palmiers

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Les Palmiers? The name made me expect some sprawling resort with palm trees everywhere, but honestly, this feels more like staying at your sophisticated French aunt’s townhouse – and I mean that in the best possible way. It’s tucked right on Boulevard de la République, which puts you in this sweet spot where you’re close enough to the Croisette madness but far enough that you can actually sleep at night. The 9.4 rating isn’t just inflated review nonsense either – I get why people love this place.

Walking in, there’s this immediate sense that someone actually cares about the details here. The lobby has that effortless French elegance thing going on without trying too hard, you know? And the staff… well, they’re not doing that over-the-top hospitality dance that makes you uncomfortable, but they genuinely seem to know their stuff about Cannes. When I asked about getting to the Marché Forville early (because let’s be real, that’s when you get the good stuff), the front desk guy gave me this whole insider rundown about which vendors to hit first. The rooms themselves are what I’d call properly comfortable – not huge by American standards, but everything works, the beds are actually good, and there’s this attention to cleanliness that you don’t always find in three-star places. The bathrooms are compact but well-designed, though if you’re the type who travels with seventeen hair products, you might need to get creative with storage.

What really sold me on this place is how it sits in the neighborhood. You’re literally a ten-minute walk from all the Festival Palace chaos, but Boulevard de la République has this more residential vibe where you’ll see actual Cannois walking their dogs and picking up groceries. There’s a decent café practically next door for your morning coffee fix, and – this is key – you can actually find street parking if you’re driving, which is basically a miracle in Cannes during high season. The Prado area doesn’t get the same tourist crush as the waterfront, so you get a better sense of what the city actually feels like when it’s not putting on a show. I mean, you’ll still pay Cannes prices for dinner, but at least you won’t be fighting cruise ship crowds to get to it. If you’re looking for a place that feels authentically French without the boutique hotel pretension, Les Palmiers gets it right.

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.

  Perfect location, complete with kitchen amenities and cleaning materials. With nearby grocery and coffee & pastry shops
  
  What could be improved: The hallway upon exiting the elevator was dark. Had to figure out how to switch on the lights bec it wasn’t motion sensored

• Ornesta from United Kingdom – 30 August 2022 (8/10)

  We had a lovely time in Cannes and a comfortable stay in the flat. The rooms were good size and plenty of storage, comfortableliving room/ diner. AC worked perfectly and the balcony was a must in Cannes. Easy check in and out. The single beds could be better, they are aware one of them needs replacing as it makes squicky noises with every move as had a crack… The pillows were not to my liking, the shower needs a little attention. Location is good, 8 minutes walk to train station and easy to get to Nice and Monte Carlo etc. The beach is around 15-20 minutes walk. There is a parking spot, which was the main reason why we chose to stay here as on street parking is difficult. In general all was good, just couple things to improve to make it perfect.
  
  What could be improved: Single beds and pillows

  garage en 2 toiletten midden in woonwijk
  
  What could be improved: geen vaatwasser te weinig handdoeken ouderwetse badkamer

• Alla from Ukraine – 21 September 2024 (9/10)

  Дуже гарне просторе помешкання, чисто, є все для комфортного проживання. Гарна тераса. Ця квартира цілком підійде для 4-6 осіб. Навколо багато магазинів і кафе. До моря 10 хв пішки. Безкоштовний підземний паркінг.
  
  What could be improved: Було важко отримати ключі, так як інструкцію нам вислали не повну ( вказали як поставити машину на паркінг і що помешкання знаходиться на 3 поверсі, але номер помешкання не вказали) нам прийшлося звернутися до сусідів, які вказали нам номер помешкання і ми змогли поселитися. А господарі помешкання вказали нам номер апартаментів тільки через 4 години після прибуття, коли ми вже самі знайшли його. Ще не сподобалась душова кабіна, яка потребує ремонту. Також ліжка були не досить зручні

• Michaela from Germany – 8 August 2024 (10/10)

  Die Unterkunft ist sehr geräumig, gepflegt, gut ausgestattet in guter Lage. Toller Balkon zum wunderschönen grünen Innenhof. Alles was man benötigt, befindet sich in der Umgebung. Wir waren nun das 3. Mal als Familie in Cannes und empfanden dieses Appartement für 4 Personen als das Beste bisher.
  
  What could be improved: Die Entfernung zum Strand, wobei ich das in diesem Falle gerne in Kauf nehme.

• Mariette from Netherlands – 14 August 2022 (8/10)

  Goede ligging, ruim appartement met balkon, airco, eigen parkeerplaats in het gebouw
  
  What could be improved: Geen airco in slaapkamers, geen vaatwasser, vrij klein tweepersoons bed
