Staybridge Suites – Cannes Centre by IHG

Hotel Description

You know what really caught me off guard about the Staybridge Suites in Cannes? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet residential street – Rue Edith Cavell – that most tourists never discover, but honestly, that’s exactly what makes it brilliant. I mean, you’re still just a few minutes’ walk from all the Croisette madness, but when you collapse back to your room after a long day of pretending you belong at the film festival, you’re not dealing with the constant hum of traffic and late-night revelers that plague most central Cannes hotels. The building itself has this understated elegance that feels more like a well-appointed apartment building than your typical tourist trap – which makes sense when you step inside and realize these aren’t just hotel rooms, they’re proper suites with actual kitchenettes.

Here’s the thing about staying in Cannes that nobody tells you: eating out for every single meal will bankrupt you faster than losing money at the Casino. So having a real fridge and a stovetop (not just some sad mini-bar situation) is genuinely life-changing. The morning I walked down to the Marché Forville – it’s this fantastic local market about ten minutes away – and came back with fresh bread, local cheese, and those tiny strawberries that taste like summer, then actually made myself breakfast while looking out at the palm trees lining the street… well, that felt more authentically French than any overpriced hotel breakfast buffet ever could. The suites themselves are surprisingly spacious too, with separate living areas that don’t feel like an afterthought. I actually found myself hanging out in the living room in the evenings instead of just collapsing on the bed, which never happens in regular hotel rooms.

The staff here really gets it – they’re not trying to be your best friend, but they know their neighborhood inside and out. When I mentioned wanting to find a good local restaurant away from the tourist zones, the front desk guy (I think his name was Pierre?) sent me to this tiny bistro on Rue Meynadier where I ended up having the best bouillabaisse of my trip. And parking – God, parking in Cannes is usually a nightmare – but they actually have spots available, which saved me from circling the blocks near the Palais des Festivals like a vulture. The 9.1 rating makes total sense once you’ve stayed here; it’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but everything just works the way it should. If you’re planning to actually explore Cannes rather than just pose on the red carpet steps, this place gives you a real base to work from instead of just a fancy bed to sleep in.

  Parking was very convenient
  Very well located
  Staff very kind
  Suites in very good condition
  Ihg never disappoints in the quality of the bed and bed linen
  
  What could be improved: Our suite was on the ground floor, and in one of the nights, we could hear the sound of the fitness machines and disturbed our sleep.

• Anya from United Kingdom – 28 May 2025 (10/10)

  Absolutely fantastic location. We came during the F1 and Film festival and although it was busy the staff were amazing, attentive and polite. Location was 25 minutes from airport and a 10 minute walk to the beach clubs/designer shops etc. as a group of girls we felt super safe!

• Fiona from United Kingdom – 2 May 2025 (9/10)

  Pleasant modern property with spacious rooms. Excellent shower with plenty of towels. Spotlessly clean. Very good breakfast and lovely staff.
  
  What could be improved: The position of the property. It was uphill from the train station with very busy roads to cross.

• Jenny from United Kingdom – 28 April 2025 (9/10)

  This is overall a brilliant hotel – it's incredibly clean, comfortable and the staff are very attentive. The breakfast also is great, and it's less than 10 mins walk to get to the city centre. I was very impressed by it overall! The wifi is fast and good for working, and they have a large lounge area downstairs with tables that are also suitable for working if you wish.
  
  What could be improved: Two things that explained the relatively reasonable cost of the hotel rooms:
  
  1. In order to get to the city centre, you have to go over a motorway-style road that's busy and polluted and not pleasant. The location is less than 10 mins away from the centre, so it is very central, however it's a pain having to traverse this road every day, mostly due to the pollution. However once you're at the hotel the air quality is quite clean.
  
  2. The gym is tiny, it basically only has one treadmill and some very light weights, I'd hesitate to call it a gym. So depending on your wants and needs, this may or may not be a dealbreaker.

• Fushi from Switzerland – 26 April 2025 (10/10)

  The property is the best vacation home you could imagine. The location is great for this price category, 7 mins walk to the festival palace and beach/port. Everything was so perfectly managed. Moderne decoration, spacious space, attentive and helpful staff. I would highly recommend the room with a terrace. The breakfast was fresh with a lot of selections, the coffee was good, it offers an exotic feeling in the restaurant area. Some useful information for travelers: they charge parking for €20, pet for €20 per night. The laundry is self serviced and free, only the wash tab costs €1.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing. They had some repair work during our stay but was not affecting us.
