Wow this view! 2BR facing Old Port 4th floor Olam Properties

First Impressions

Climbing up to the fourth floor of this Cannes building, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from Wow this view! 2BR facing Old Port 4th floor Olam Properties — but that name turned out to be pretty accurate. The moment you step inside this three-star apartment, you’re hit with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the Old Port like a postcard. It’s one of those places where you immediately drop your bags and just stare outside for a few minutes, watching the boats bob in the harbor.

Location & Neighborhood

You really can’t get more central than 9 Quai Saint-Pierre — I mean, you’re literally on the waterfront in Cannes’ beating heart. The Palais des Festivals is maybe a three-minute walk, and the famous Croisette is right there when you want to people-watch or hit the designer shops. What I loved most was stepping out in the morning to grab coffee from one of the little cafés along the quai, then watching the port come alive with fishermen and yacht crews. The location honestly does all the heavy lifting here — you’re in the thick of everything without feeling overwhelmed by tourist chaos.

The Space

This two-bedroom setup works really well for couples or small groups who want actual living space instead of a cramped hotel room. The kitchen isn’t huge, but it’s functional enough if you want to grab fresh ingredients from the Marché Forville and cook something simple. The bedrooms are comfortable without being fancy — think clean lines and practical furniture that doesn’t try too hard. But honestly, you’ll spend most of your time in the living area because of those windows. The whole place feels airy and bright, especially in the afternoon when the light bounces off the water.

The Port Views

Let me tell you about mornings here — you wake up to this incredible panorama of the Old Port with fishing boats heading out and the occasional superyacht making its grand entrance. I found myself having coffee by the window every single day, just watching the harbor activity unfold. In the evenings, the view transforms completely when the port lights start twinkling and the restaurants along the waterfront get busy. It’s the kind of view that makes you understand why people fall in love with the French Riviera, you know? Not the glitzy Croisette stuff, but the authentic maritime charm that’s been here for centuries.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how it gives you a genuine Cannes experience rather than a tourist bubble. You’re staying where locals actually live and work, not in some sterile hotel district. The combination of that prime waterfront location with the space and comfort of a real apartment creates something pretty special. Couples seem to particularly love it here — and I can see why, since there’s something romantic about having your own little perch overlooking the Mediterranean. Plus, at the end of busy days exploring Cannes or the surrounding Côte d’Azur, you actually have room to spread out and relax properly.

Hotels in Cannes dot the palm-lined Boulevard de la Croisette, the old quarter of Le Suquet, and the bustling Rue d’Antibes.
