Palais 5min Luxury&Cinema Studio

Palais 5min Luxury&Cinema Studio Overview

First Impressions

Walking down Impasse Bergerie, you’d almost miss the entrance to Palais 5min Luxury&Cinema Studio if you weren’t looking for it — and that’s actually part of its charm. This four-star studio property sits tucked away in what feels like Cannes’ best-kept secret, just steps from all the action but blissfully quiet. The moment you step inside, you realize this isn’t your typical hotel setup. It’s more like staying in a carefully curated apartment that someone with excellent taste has designed specifically for film festival types and discerning travelers.

Location Magic

Honestly, the location is pretty much perfect — I mean, couples rate it 9.5 out of 10, and after spending time here, I get why. You’re literally five minutes from the Palais des Festivals (hence the name), but you’re also within easy walking distance of the old port, the covered market, and those winding streets of Le Suquet where locals actually eat. What I love is that you can slip away from the Croisette crowds and be back in your peaceful corner of Cannes in no time. The fact that there’s parking available on-site is honestly a game-changer — anyone who’s tried to park in central Cannes during festival season knows this is worth its weight in gold.

The Studio Experience

The room itself is where this place really shines. It’s got this cinema studio vibe that’s not gimmicky but genuinely cool — think exposed brick, carefully chosen lighting, and a layout that actually makes sense for how people live and work today. The kitchenette is surprisingly well-equipped, which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the Marché Forville and actually cook something decent. The bed is comfortable (important after long days exploring), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without feeling cramped.

Neighborhood Insights

What you’ll discover staying here is that this little pocket of Cannes has its own rhythm. There’s a local bakery around the corner that opens early, a wine shop that stays open late, and you’re close enough to hear the energy from the main streets without being overwhelmed by it. The walk to La Croisette takes maybe seven minutes, but you’ll find yourself taking different routes each time — through the covered passages, past the small galleries, or along the quieter residential streets where you get glimpses of how locals actually live.

Why Guests Love It

People keep coming back here because it strikes that rare balance between being in the thick of things and having a proper retreat. You’re not paying for a fancy lobby or a restaurant you’ll never use — instead, you’re getting a thoughtfully designed space in an unbeatable location. The cinema theme isn’t overdone, the amenities work well, and you feel like you’re staying somewhere with personality rather than just another hotel room. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little hideaway in one of the world’s most glamorous cities, but with enough authenticity to feel real.

Reviews of Palais 5min Luxury&Cinema Studio

• Iryna from Ukraine – 28 May 2025 (9/10)

  This apartment is an absolute gem in Cannes — beautifully designed, elegant, and full of warmth. Everything is made with great taste and attention to detail, and the moment you walk in, you feel completely at home.
  
  The host, Olena, is simply wonderful. She’s incredibly kind, always available, and truly goes above and beyond to make your stay perfect. She offered plenty of helpful tips, was always just a message away, and even helped with things that weren’t directly related to the apartment. Her generosity and sincerity made a huge difference — it felt more like visiting a good friend than just renting a place.
  
  The location is absolutely unbeatable: only 4–5 minutes from the Palais des Festivals, which is amazing if you’re attending the Cannes Film Festival or working around it. And in general, the apartment is right in the heart of Cannes — you really can’t ask for more.
  
  A special thank you to Olena for the thoughtful touches — like the mini-bar she left for me — and for her constant support. I’ve stayed in many apartments in Cannes over the years, and this is by far the best experience I’ve had.
  
  Highly, highly recommended — it’s a true treasure and absolutely worth every euro. Thank you, Olena! 💛

  The most I loved the professionalism of host. All the informations I received from Elena went very helpful. I recommend this place to everyone. Apartment is very nice and confortable. Everything was perfect and very close to the Palance of Festival.

• Janice from United Kingdom – 17 March 2024 (9/10)

  Excellent location and very near to the Croisette. The host had thought about everything to make our stay comfortable. I was also impressed with the midday check-out and 2pm check-in.

• Gary from China – 2 November 2023 (9/10)

  The apartment was located in the heart of Cannes

• Viktoria from Italy – 21 October 2023 (9/10)

  Small apartment that has everything you need, kitchen, bathroom well equipped. Products of high quality (e.g. towel, electric devices). Bed was super comfortable, which to me is always the most important. The apartment even has a cute little balcony. Location is very central and easy to reach from train station. The landlord very friendly, flexible and fast responding. Can recommend and would come back any time.
  
  What could be improved: In the morning there was a lot of noise, doors banging, etc. from the other apartments on the same floor.

• Jozsef from Hungary – 10 September 2023 (9/10)

  The location is excellent and the studio has a very unique style. Elena was really helpful and precise with every detail. Everything was perfect we would definitely come back!:)

• Linda from France – 9 September 2023 (9/10)

  Certainly has the wow factor when you walk in..and all the linens and kitchenware are high end..the cute little terrace was a bonus..as indeed was the unexpected welcome gift of Prosecco to drink there..thank you!Location excellent for restaurants,shops and all the sights and smells of the old town especially the wonderful Forville market.Communication with the host was very good.We found this the perfect place for a short stay in central Cannes.
  
  What could be improved: Perhaps some thought for functionality as it is a tiny studio..eg the bed settee takes up half the room and is not very comfortable..!

• Mónika from Belgium – 13 August 2023 (9/10)

  The studio apartment has very stylish and modern interior with new furnitures and equipements. In the kitchen we found everything to prepare basic dishes. The apartment has relatively small size, but it has very practical layout. The location is just perfect, city center is very-very close. Elena, the host is very kind and helpful, and she helped both during our preparation and our stay. The provided coffee capsules made perfect mornings.
  We highly recommend this apartment to couples who wants to explore Cannes and its neighbourhood.
