Nice apartment close to the Croisette

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the address on Rue Lacour, I wasn’t expecting much. It’s tucked away from the main Croisette buzz, which actually turned out to be perfect. You’re literally a three-minute walk to all that glamorous beachfront action, but when you want to escape the tourist crowds and overpriced café au laits, you can actually breathe here. The apartment itself surprised me – it’s got this comfortable, lived-in feel that’s way better than those sterile hotel rooms where everything’s bolted down. The kitchen’s small but functional (I made coffee every morning and saved myself about 15 euros a day), and honestly, the bed was more comfortable than my own back home.

What really sold me on this place was the neighborhood vibe. There’s a little boulangerie around the corner where the owner started recognizing me by day three – you know you’ve found a good spot when locals aren’t rolling their eyes at tourists. The Pointe Croisette area feels more… real, I guess? You’ll hear actual French conversations instead of just English and broken French from the hotel concierges. Parking’s not terrible either, which if you’ve ever driven in Cannes during festival season, you know that’s basically a miracle. The apartment gets some street noise during the day, but nothing crazy – actually kind of nice hearing the neighborhood come alive in the mornings. And here’s something the fancy hotels won’t tell you: you can walk to Marché Forville in about eight minutes, grab fresh produce and that amazing socca, then head back to eat it properly instead of standing around like a tourist.

I mean, don’t expect luxury resort amenities or anything – this is a 3-star place that knows what it is. But sometimes that’s exactly what you want. The check-in was straightforward, the owner was helpful without being pushy, and the whole experience felt more like staying at a friend’s place than some corporate hotel chain. If you’re the type who wants to experience Cannes without paying Croisette prices for everything, this spot’s a winner. Plus, and this might sound weird, but there’s something satisfying about having your own little space to decompress after a day of people-watching and beach lounging. You can spread out your stuff, leave the windows open at night, and wake up feeling like you actually live there for a minute instead of just passing through.

Cannes hotels range from charming boutique properties in the historic Le Suquet district to elegant palace hotels and modern luxury accommodations along La Croisette Boulevard.
