Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Residence Provencal? It’s that perfect sweet spot where you get the luxury without feeling like you’re in some sterile chain hotel. I mean, the moment you walk in, there’s this warm Provençal charm that actually feels authentic – none of that fake rustic stuff you see everywhere. The building sits right on Boulevard d’Alsace, which honestly is one of those addresses that sounds fancy but is actually super practical. You’re literally a three-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals, and I’m talking about a leisurely stroll, not a power walk.

The location is honestly brilliant if you know Cannes at all. You’re in the Carnot neighborhood, which locals will tell you is where you want to be – close enough to all the action but far enough from the cruise ship crowds that flood La Croisette during peak season. I loved that you could duck out for coffee at the little café on the corner (the owner makes killer croissants, by the way) or grab groceries at the Monoprix just down the street. The beach access is easy too – you can hit the public beaches or splurge on one of the private ones, both are basically the same distance. What really impressed me was how quiet it stays at night, even during the film festival madness. The building seems well-insulated, and Boulevard d’Alsace doesn’t get the late-night party traffic that some other streets do.

The rooms themselves – well, they nailed that luxurious-but-livable vibe. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen rather than just expensive for the sake of it. The beds are seriously comfortable (I’m picky about this), and the bathrooms have that perfect balance of marble elegance and actual functionality. You know how some fancy places have gorgeous bathrooms where you can’t figure out how to turn on the shower? Not here. I also appreciated the little touches that show someone who understands travelers – proper lighting for reading, enough outlets for your devices, and closet space that can actually handle more than two outfits. The 9.2 rating makes total sense once you experience the service level. The staff genuinely seems to enjoy helping guests figure out the best routes to avoid festival crowds or recommending restaurants that aren’t tourist traps. During my stay, they helped me snag a last-minute reservation at a place I never would have found on my own. If you’re planning to visit during Cannes season, book this place early – it’s the kind of spot that savvy travelers return to year after year, and honestly, I can see why.

Travelers should reserve a hotel in Cannes at least two months ahead of their visit to ensure availability and secure better rates, especially during the peak May festival season when the city hosts its world-famous cinema celebrations.

Reviews

  • Thomas from United Kingdom – 2 October 2024 (8/10)

    great flat

    What could be improved: clarity on website about which photos were relevant
    some would not like the constant traffic noise

  • Sean from Ireland – 2 September 2024 (10/10)

    The LRA office was near the property and they sent me a message on WhatsApp a few days before arrival, so we were in constant contact before and during the stay, which was really handy. The staff were incredibly friendly and allowed us to store our luggage on the final day after check out. The apartment itself is amazing – four big double bedrooms, all en-suite, with a large, open living area and balcony. While it is located beside a busy road, when the hot tub was turned on and you had music playing, you couldn't hear the traffic and the views were superb.

    What could be improved: While it would be a luxury, if there was a bluetooth/wifi speaker system, it would really complete the entire apartment – it really was the only thing we noticed could have been in place.

  • Ruth from United Kingdom – 31 August 2024 (10/10)

  • Jacqui from United Kingdom – 20 July 2024 (10/10)

    The location is brilliant so convenient for Cannes promenade, the train and supermarket. The retractable roof is an outstanding feature with excellent views of Cannes.

    What could be improved: It would be helpful to provide washing up liquid and cleaning clothes.

  • T from United Kingdom – 19 July 2024 (10/10)

    Very clean and modern

    What could be improved: We had a mix up when we arrived but it was sorted quit. Very little we didn’t like as it was very good. There was only two sunbed ands no outside towels

  • Stella from United States – 12 September 2023 (10/10)

    We loved absolutely EVERYTHING! Beautiful, modern accommodations! View from the balcony was stunning! Very responsible and responsive team! We had fantastic time, thank you!

    What could be improved: We liked absolutely everything!

  • Martina from Ireland – 13 August 2023 (9/10)

    Lovely bedrooms, all en-suite. Superb location. Close to shops, restaurants and beaches. Beautiful view from window over the lounge.

  • Nita from United Kingdom – 4 June 2023 (10/10)

    This property definitely has the wow factor! As a group of five girls visiting for a short break, we were looking for accommodation that was safe, clean and central to the main attractions, and this apartment was exactly that. The apartment had four double bedrooms each with an en-suite, a modern open plan kitchen and was overall very spacious. However what made this place unique was the open plan lounge area with a retractable roof with stunning views. It was amazing! This made our stay even more enjoyable. The hosts were brilliant and responsive, we had a slight issue with the washing machine on one of the evenings but they quickly came after hours to fix it. We were really happy with the entire stay.

    What could be improved: Not necessarily a negative, however just be aware that the lift only goes to the 6th floor, however this apartment is on the 7th floor so you will need to carry your luggage/climb one flight of stairs.

  • Samuel from United Kingdom – 26 April 2023 (10/10)

    This property certainly has the WOW factor. We fell in love with it as soon as we saw it and it was even better in real life. The panoramic window which fully opens is so unique and made our trip extra special. All bedrooms were a really decent size and all with their own private en-suite! The hot tub was an added bonus, as well as the view of Cannes and the sea. A brilliant location with a short walk to the centre. The host Meline was incredibly attentive, helpful and really went the extra mile for us. Thank you for making our birthday trip so special!

    What could be improved: nothing, it was perfect!

  • Tracey from Ireland – 23 April 2023 (9/10)

    Location was excellent & LRA service exceptional!, Meline & Daniel were a pleasure to deal with & so helpful!

    What could be improved: the best of the sun is on the main balcony in the morning… so best to enjoy it to its full then if you like sun as evening is more shaded
