Un Coin de Paradis

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Un Coin de Paradis? The name actually delivers – it really is a little corner of paradise tucked away in La Californie, which honestly is one of those Cannes neighborhoods that feels worlds apart from the Croisette chaos. I mean, you’re still technically in Cannes, but it’s this quiet residential area where you can actually hear birds instead of traffic. The hotel sits in these elegant Résidences du Parc complexes on Avenue Montrose, and while the address might sound fancy, it’s refreshingly unpretentious when you arrive.

The whole setup feels more like staying at a sophisticated friend’s place than a typical hotel – which makes sense given that 9 rating. What I love is how they’ve managed to nail that balance between being polished (definitely earning those 4 stars) without feeling stuffy. The rooms have this understated elegance, and honestly, the attention to detail is what gets you. Little things like actually good coffee in the room, blackout curtains that work properly, and – this might sound silly but it matters – shower pressure that doesn’t make you want to cry. The décor leans classic French without going overboard with the whole Riviera cliché thing, if you know what I mean.

Here’s the thing about La Californie that most people don’t realize – you’re perfectly positioned between the old town charm of Le Suquet (maybe a 10-minute walk uphill) and the beach scene, but without being in the thick of either. During Cannes Film Festival madness, this location is actually genius because you can retreat here while still being close enough to everything. The neighborhood has these winding streets lined with belle époque villas, and there’s something almost village-like about it despite being so central. Parking can be tricky around here generally, but the hotel sorts that out for you. I’d definitely recommend this place if you want to experience Cannes like someone who actually lives there rather than just passing through – you’ll find yourself walking to the local boulangerie in the morning and discovering those little bistros that don’t make it into guidebooks.

Early hotels booking in Cannes is essential during major events like the Film Festival, as accommodations fill up quickly with visitors eager to experience the city’s renowned glamorous atmosphere and luxury shopping.

  What could be improved: –

• Relaxing atmosphere – Ovidiu from Romania – 26 July 2023 (9/10)

  The residential complex is quiet, you have free access to the swimming pool and tennis court.
  The owner is kind and gave us all the necessary information for the stay.
  Free and safe parking in the basement with card access
  
  What could be improved: There is no air conditioning.
  Maybe a much more comfortable bed mattress. It's a subjective opinion – the mattress has a hard firmness

• loved the place and have been recommending to all – Michael from United Kingdom – 2 November 2022 (9/10)

  excellent design, furnishings, lovely property
  
  What could be improved: only (slight) nit pick was arriving self catering, shops about 6 mins walk away, but at the bottom of a steep hill

• Very nice place, could recommend – Kristine from Norway – 7 August 2023 (8/10)

  Quiet and safe sourroundings. Big and spacious terrace outside the appartment. Very nice host, and much appricated that we where granted a late check-out.
  
  What could be improved: I knew this was a studio appartment when I booked it, still, it was a little small and the beds where ok, but not very comfortable. I really missed an AC, but also knew that it was not provided before I booked.

• enjoyable stay in the middle of a botanical garden – Benedict from Romania – 16 August 2023 (7/10)

  The location is perfect. The compound is amazing – a real botanical garden. The apartment's terrace is very spacious and nice. The host was very nice. The pool is very big and very clean, but very strict regarding the rules and restrictions.
  
  What could be improved: The photos of the apartment are misleading. The apartment is in fact a lot smaller than it appear in the pics. It seemed that the apartment has two rooms, but we were surprised that there is only one and that is very small. When you open the folding bed, the room becomes very small and tight. The quality of the sheets might need an improvement. Also it is necessary to have sheets for all the people staying.

• Good – Merve from Turkey – 25 May 2023 (7/10)

  very clean property, proper stuff, warm welcoming
  
  What could be improved: bed was solid, not comfortable. Area is good but when you’re coming back from downtown it is a bit slop.

• Top – Christian from France – 7 July 2025 (9/10)

  Résidence top . Appartement top . Hôte très accueillante et serviable
  
  What could be improved: Rien

• gerne wieder – Laurence from Germany – 4 October 2024 (9/10)

  Sehr nettes Willkommen in einer sehr sauberen Wohnung mit Allem was das Herz begehrt. Großügige Terrasse mit viel Sonne, sehr schöne Anlage mit Pool. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet, Waschmanschine, Spüllmachine, Kaffee, Kocher, Microwelle, Badewanne, Fön…
  
  What could be improved: wir sind groß und es gibt viele Dekoelemente in der Wohnung sowie eine Lampe am Eingang gegen der, mein Mann jeden Tagden Kopf gestoßen hat. ein bisschen weniger klein kram wäre perfekt.
