Résidences Cresci

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Résidences Cresci? I’d walked past this place on Quai Saint-Pierre probably a dozen times before actually staying there, and honestly, I never realized how perfectly positioned it is. I mean, you’re literally steps from the old port – like, you can smell the sea salt and hear the rigging clanking on the boats when you open your windows in the morning. But here’s the thing that really sold me: it’s just far enough from the Croisette madness that you can actually sleep at night.

The building itself has this understated elegance that feels very Cannes without being flashy about it. I stayed in one of their residences (they’re more like proper apartments than hotel rooms), and the kitchen actually worked – not one of those sad hotel kitchenettes with a broken burner and no decent knives. The staff seem to genuinely know the neighborhood too, which is rarer than you’d think. When I mentioned wanting to avoid the tourist traps for dinner, the woman at reception didn’t just hand me a generic list – she told me about this little bistro on Rue Saint-Antoine where the locals go, about a three-minute walk inland.

What I really appreciated was how they handle the whole short-term rental thing without making it feel impersonal. Check-in was smooth (they actually answered their phone when I called about arriving early), and they stock the basics so you’re not immediately hunting for a grocery store. The 9.2 rating makes sense when you factor in location – I could walk to Marché Forville for morning coffee and croissants, then be on the beach in under ten minutes if I felt like dealing with the crowds. Parking’s always a nightmare in this part of Cannes, but they sorted that out too. During festival season this place probably books up months ahead, but in shoulder season it’s actually a steal for what you get. It’s one of those spots where you feel like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting – which, honestly, is exactly what you want when you’re staying more than a couple nights.

• Amazing location, comfortable and stunning. – Joanne from United Kingdom – 15 July 2025 (10/10)

  Our room was a small room with just a bed and a bathroom, perfect for what we needed for our 5 day trip especially with the kitchenette. The location of this property is absolutely perfect with it being right in the harbour with restaurants, shops and bakeries nearby as well as boat trips to the Lérins islands on the doorstep. The staff were all very friendly and catered to our needs throughout our whole trip. I couldn’t recommend this property enough for an amazing trip to the French Riviera.
