” Modern Maubourg ” Élégance et Prestige à Cannes

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest with you – when I first walked up to the Modern Maubourg, I wasn’t expecting much from the exterior. It’s tucked into this quiet residential stretch of Rue Latour-Maubourg, and from the outside it looks pretty… well, standard. But you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want in Cannes, especially when you’re trying to avoid the tourist circus down by the Croisette.

The thing about this place is that it gets the basics really right, which honestly matters more than fancy marble lobbies when you’re actually living somewhere for a few days. The rooms are genuinely modern – I mean actually updated, not just “modern” in that sad hotel way where they slap some beige paint on 1990s furniture. The beds are comfortable (and I’m picky about mattresses), the AC works properly, and the bathrooms have decent water pressure. Small victories, but they add up. The staff at check-in was refreshingly straightforward too – no fake enthusiasm, just helpful people who know the area well and can point you toward the good bakery around the corner on Rue d’Antibes.

What I really appreciated was the location once I got my bearings. You’re maybe a seven-minute walk to all the action on La Croisette, but far enough away that you can actually sleep at night without drunk tourists stumbling past your window at 3 AM. The Forville Market is basically around the corner – perfect for grabbing fresh stuff if you want to picnic on the beach instead of paying resort prices for lunch. And here’s something the hotel websites won’t tell you: there’s decent street parking nearby if you’re brave enough to drive in Cannes, though honestly the train connections are good enough that you probably don’t need a car. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel that a lot of the fancy hotel districts lack – actual French people live here, there are regular cafés instead of just tourist traps, and you’ll hear more French than English on the streets. For a three-star place, it delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something it’s not, which in a city like Cannes – where everything can feel a bit performative – is actually pretty refreshing.

  There was not covers for the sofabed.
  The sitting Room's curtains didn't cover the all windows. The daylight penetrated early in the mornings.
  The shower was partly broken.
  There were also bedbugs which I brought back home with me.
  
  In all it is a good and ideal place to stay in Cannes. I will definitely go back.
