Wow Splendide 3-4 pcs Duplex Rooftop Vue mer by Olam Properties

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name is absolutely ridiculous – I mean, “Wow Splendide 3-4 pcs Duplex Rooftop Vue mer” sounds like someone threw every appealing French word into a Google translator – but honestly, once you’re up on that seventh floor terrace looking out over the Mediterranean, you sort of get why they went overboard with the description. The sea view really is something, especially if you time it right for sunset when the whole Croisette starts glowing below you.

The location on Boulevard Alexandre III is pretty smart, actually. You’re technically in the Pointe Croisette area, which means you get that prestigious address without paying Martinez or Carlton prices, but here’s the thing – you’re still close enough to walk to all the action in about ten minutes. I noticed a lot of guests using it as a base during festival season (good luck booking then, by the way), and it makes sense because you can escape the madness but still stumble home after those late Palais screenings. The building itself is one of those modern blocks that doesn’t look like much from street level, but the duplex setup means you actually get some real space to spread out. The rooftop access is the real selling point though – there’s something pretty satisfying about having your morning coffee while looking down at people fighting for beach chairs at the private clubs.

What I appreciated most was how it felt more like borrowing someone’s apartment than staying in a hotel. The kitchen actually works (I made pasta one night because, let’s be honest, you can’t eat out every meal in Cannes unless you’re made of money), and there’s enough room that you don’t feel like you’re living on top of each other if you’re traveling with friends or family. The 3-star rating is about right – it’s not luxury, but everything’s clean and functional, and the AC keeps up with those brutal July afternoons. Parking can be a bit of a headache in this part of town, but there’s a public garage a couple blocks away if you’re driving. The only real downside is that the building can get pretty quiet at night – which is great for sleeping, don’t get me wrong – but if you’re expecting that buzzy hotel atmosphere, this isn’t it. It’s more for people who want to experience Cannes like they actually live there for a week, rather than just passing through. Perfect if you want to hit the morning market on Forville, grab some wine, and actually enjoy it somewhere with a view instead of cramming everything into a standard hotel room.
