Mondrian Cannes

Hotel Description

You step out of the taxi and immediately get that Cannes feeling—the sea air, the palm trees swaying along La Croisette, the way the light hits the limestone buildings just so. Mondrian Cannes is right in the thick of it, 45 Boulevard de la Croisette, practically facing the waves. I’ve stayed here twice now, once in May during the film festival chaos (wild, but worth it for the energy) and again in September when everything quiets down and you can actually hear yourself think. The first thing you notice? The lobby’s got this bold, almost playful design—art pieces that make you stop, marble floors that click under your heels, and this faint scent of citrus and salt that lingers. It’s not stuffy, which I appreciate. You don’t feel like you’re walking into a museum.

The rooms—especially the ones facing the sea—deliver. Floor-to-ceiling windows, balconies just wide enough for two with a morning coffee, and beds so plush you’ll debate skipping breakfast to stay in them. I stayed on the fifth floor, and even with the street below, it was surprisingly quiet at night (double-glazed windows, thank god). What I didn’t expect? How much I’d love the rooftop. It’s not just a pool—it’s a whole scene. DJ on weekends, yes, but during the week it’s serene. Grab a cabana early, order the Aperol spritz (they do it right—bitter, not too sweet), and watch the sun dip behind Île Sainte-Marguerite. Downstairs, the restaurant, Soho Kitchen, is solid—better than most hotel spots. Their avocado toast? Actually good. And the staff remembers your name after day two, which sounds small but makes a difference.

Now, parking—it’s tight. Valet only, and it’s €30 a day, which stings. But honestly, you won’t need a car. You’re steps from Marché Forville for fresh peaches and socca, a five-minute walk from the old town’s cobbled alleys, and right across from the Palais des Festivals. Even the tram stop is close, if you’re heading to Antibes or Nice. The beach is private and well-kept, though you’ll pay for loungers (€25, ouch). Still, having that direct access? Priceless. I’ve woken up, grabbed a croissant from the café next door—Le Café de la Plage, try it—and been on the sand in 90 seconds. That’s the magic here. It’s luxurious, sure, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously. And after a few days in Cannes, that balance is everything.

Reviews

• Isak from Netherlands – 4 June 2025 (9/10)

  Alles was top
  
  What could be improved: –

• Shanita from United States – 19 May 2025 (8/10)

  Staff was amazing. Very helpful. Great location. Perfect spot on beach and easy access to shops and train!
  
  What could be improved: Carpets could be cleaner or removed from rooms and put down tile.

• Jeffrey from United States – 17 May 2025 (9/10)

  The staff was incredible
  
  What could be improved: The gym wasn’t great

• Igor from Ukraine – 9 May 2025 (9/10)

  Everything was perfect, except for the case with check in
  
  What could be improved: The thing is that the hotel has a very old air conditioning and ventilation system and, accordingly, the noise from it is at an unacceptable level for a 4 or 5 star hotel.

• Ukwuoma from United Kingdom – 7 May 2025 (9/10)

  Staff were fantastic, very welcoming especially Thomas the concierge. They would assist with anything you asked. The location is excellent, on the doorstep of everything. I will definitely be going back to stay there.
  
  What could be improved: The bathroom was just a bit too small for my liking and there was no wash hand basin in the toilet.

• Lara from Qatar – 4 May 2025 (9/10)

  Every thing was positive

• Adib from Canada – 27 April 2025 (9/10)

  Location, hotel staff, rooms, comfort.. Really near perfect place!
  A very nice touch is that all the staff remember you by name and what room you are staying in!
  
  What could be improved: The pillows are not that comfortable!
  
  Although the food in the restaurant and cafe is amazing, the service is terrible!!
  
  Takes too long to get anything done, and almost every time there's something wrong with the order!

• Johan from Sweden – 20 April 2025 (9/10)

  Amazing hotel! Definitely a 5 star experience. Big room, lots of amenities and attention to detail.
  
  Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was excellent. Not a huge selection but it was still easy to find what you needed for a well balanced meal. The quality of foods was excellent as well.
  
  Location on the Croisette was fabulous. Take a stroll along the shoreline and then return to the hotel. On site parking for a reasonable price was also appreciated as Cannes is so packed and parking can be very difficult to find.
  
  What could be improved: The AC did not really work well. However since we visited in April and it wasn’t to hot this wasn’t a huge deal. Being able to ventilate by opening the window did remedy this somewhat.

• Abdulrahman from Saudi Arabia – 19 April 2025 (9/10)

  Staff and and atmosphere, rooms is so clean , staff is very friendly and helpful
  
  What could be improved: Air conditioning its general so if was on the heat mood , so we have to open the terrace

• Jody from United States – 16 April 2025 (9/10)

  Everything! The hotel is beautifully situated in the heart of Cannes. The staff went over the top to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Definitely the best hotel experience we’ve had on our holiday. Merci!
