Seaside Cannes Festival Suite

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first walked up to the Seaside Cannes Festival Suite on Cours Félix Faure, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place in the heart of Cannes – I mean, you know how these city center spots can be, right? But this little gem actually surprised me in the best way possible. The building has that understated French elegance thing going on, nothing flashy, but you can tell someone cares about the details. What really got me was how quiet it felt once you’re inside, even though you’re literally in the thick of everything that makes Cannes, well, Cannes.

The location is honestly perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in the city rather than just visiting it. You’re a two-minute walk from La Croisette (no joke, I timed it), but here’s the thing most people don’t realize – being just off the main drag means you can actually sleep at night during festival season. I’ve stayed right on the waterfront before and regretted it when the party crowds rolled by at 3 AM. From here, you can slip down to Rue d’Antibes for some serious shopping, or grab coffee at one of those tiny local places on Rue Meynadier that the tourists haven’t discovered yet. The train station is close enough that you don’t need a taxi if you’re coming from Nice airport – just hop on the regional train and you’re sorted.

What really sealed the deal for me was the suite itself. It’s got that lived-in sophistication that feels authentically French, not like someone’s idea of what French should look like. The bathroom actually has decent water pressure (you’d be amazed how rare that is in older Cannes buildings), and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The staff – well, they’re the kind of people who remember your name after one conversation and can tell you which boulangerie opens earliest if you’re catching a morning train. During my stay in May, right before the festival madness kicked in, the whole area had this perfect buzz of anticipation. You could walk to the Palais des Festivals in about eight minutes, catch the sunset from the port, then come back to a place that feels like a proper retreat. I mean, for the price point and that perfect rating they’ve got, it’s honestly hard to find fault with this place – it just does everything right without trying too hard.

  Absolument Tout !! L'emplacement est imbattable à coté du palais, de la croisette et dans le centre ! L'appartement était exceptionnel, entièrement équipé avec tout ce dont vous auriez besoin pour un parfait rapport qualité/prix. Le lit est extrêmement confortable, la décoration est soignée, l'appartement est très propre ; Après avoir visité Cannes depuis près de 40 ans, cet appartement est le meilleur, même en comparaison avec certains des hôtels très chers dans lesquels nous avons séjourné ! Mon contact a rendu un service merveilleux, très bonne communication à tout moment. Quand nous reviendrons, mon premier choix sera de réserver ici.
  
  What could be improved: TOUT ETAIT PARFAIT !
