Viva Riviera 2 Bedrooms 2 Bathrooms Rue Florian

Hotel Description

Honestly, when I first pulled up to 8 rue Florian, I wasn’t expecting much from the outside – it’s just this quiet residential street tucked into Cannes city center. But you know what? That’s actually the beauty of Viva Riviera. While everyone’s fighting for those flashy Croisette hotels, you’re getting this perfectly positioned two-bedroom apartment that feels more like staying at a savvy local friend’s place than some tourist trap.

The setup is pretty ideal if you’re traveling with family or another couple – two proper bedrooms, two full bathrooms, so nobody’s waiting in line for the shower after a beach day. I mean, the space isn’t huge (this is France, after all), but it’s laid out smart. The living area opens up nicely, and there’s enough room to actually spread out your stuff without feeling cramped. What really got me was how quiet it stays at night, even though you’re literally a five-minute walk from all the action on La Croisette. Rue Florian sits in this sweet spot where you dodge the street noise but you’re still close enough to grab morning coffee at that little place on rue Meynadier – locals line up there, which tells you everything you need to know.

The location thing is hard to overstate, actually. You can walk to the Palais des Festivals in maybe eight minutes (I timed it), hit the morning market at Marché Forville without dealing with tourist crowds, and when you want to escape to the beach, Plage du Midi is right there. Plus – and this matters more than people think – there’s decent parking nearby, which in Cannes during festival season is basically like finding gold. The apartment itself has that lived-in comfort that three-star places sometimes nail better than the fancy spots. Everything works, the beds are comfortable enough that you’ll actually sleep well, and the kitchen setup means you can grab fresh stuff from the market and cook breakfast instead of paying twenty euros for hotel croissants. Sure, it’s not going to win any design awards, but after a day wandering around Cannes or driving the coast, you just want a place that feels like home base. That’s exactly what this is – unpretentious, well-located, and honestly perfect for the price point. If you’re the type who’d rather spend money on great meals and experiences instead of lobby marble, this place makes total sense.
