— The hotel
New Listing – Amazing Beach Views, 1-bed Apt
First Impressions
When I first walked into New Listing – Amazing Beach Views, 1-bed Apt, I’ll be honest — the name doesn’t do it justice. This three-star apartment sits right on Boulevard de la Croisette, and you know what that means if you’ve ever been to Cannes. You’re literally steps from where all those red carpet photos get taken during the film festival. The building itself isn’t flashy, but once you’re inside looking out at the Mediterranean, you sort of forget about everything else.
That Croisette Location
I mean, you can’t get much better than this address — 79 Boulevard de la Croisette puts you right in the heart of everything. The couples who stay here absolutely love it (they rate the location 9.6, which honestly makes sense), and I get why. You can walk to the Palais des Festivals in about three minutes, hit the beach whenever you want, and all those fancy boutiques are right there if you’re into that scene. What I really appreciated was being able to grab morning coffee at one of the sidewalk cafés without having to trek across town.
The Space Itself
The one-bedroom setup works really well — it’s not huge, but it’s thoughtfully laid out. The room gets incredible natural light, and that view they promise? Yeah, it actually delivers. You can see the bay stretching out toward the Îles de Lérins, which is particularly gorgeous around sunset. The space feels more like a proper home than a hotel room, with enough storage and a comfortable living area where you can actually relax after a day of wandering around town.
Practical Perks
What surprised me was how well-equipped everything was for a three-star place. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to make breakfast or grab some fresh produce from the Marché Forville and cook at home — which I’d recommend, actually, since the market is just a short walk away. The whole setup feels like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting, and there’s something really nice about that. Plus, having your own space means you can come and go as you please without dealing with hotel lobby schedules.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to give you the full-service hotel experience with a concierge and room service, but that’s not really the point. What you get is an authentic slice of Cannes life in one of the most coveted locations on the French Riviera. The property scores a 9.8 for location, and after staying here, I completely understand why. You’re paying for that address and those views, and honestly, it’s worth it — especially if you want to feel like you actually live in this beautiful coastal town rather than just passing through it.
Hotels in Cannes offer guests the perfect blend of French Riviera elegance and modern comfort, with many featuring red carpet concierge services and private beach clubs to enhance the authentic glamorous French experience.
