XXL 2 beds with XXL terrace next to Martinez Hotel

First Impressions

Walking up to XXL 2 beds with XXL terrace next to Martinez Hotel, I’ll be honest — the name pretty much tells you everything you need to know. This three-star property doesn’t try to be something it’s not, but what it does offer is exactly what couples seem to be looking for in Cannes. The location is absolutely spot-on, literally steps from the famous Martinez, which means you’re getting that prime Croisette access without the five-star price tag.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s brilliant about staying on Rue Latour-Maubourg? You’re in the thick of everything but tucked away just enough to actually get some sleep. I mean, you can walk to the Palais des Festivals in about three minutes, and the beach is right there — not the crowded public sections, but the good stuff where the beach clubs are. The street itself is quiet, which honestly surprised me given how central it is. There’s a little café around the corner that locals actually use, and the morning market on Forville is an easy stroll if you want to grab some proper French pastries.

The Apartment Experience

The apartment itself is pretty straightforward — two beds as promised, and that terrace really is something special. It’s not just big, it’s properly spacious with decent furniture where you can actually sit and have your morning coffee while watching Cannes wake up. The kitchen is basic but functional — perfect for making breakfast or storing those bottles of rosé you’ll inevitably buy. The room setup works well for couples who want their own space, and I’ve seen friends use it where one person could work from the terrace while the other relaxed inside.

What Makes It Special

Here’s the thing about this place — it’s not trying to compete with the grand hotels, and that’s actually refreshing. The terrace becomes your private escape in a city where outdoor space is premium. I spent most evenings out there, and you get this nice view of the neighborhood without feeling like you’re in a fishbowl. The proximity to Martinez means you can pop over for a drink at their bar if you want that fancy hotel experience, then come back to your own space. It’s like having the best of both worlds, really.

Why Guests Love It

The perfect 10 rating makes sense once you’re there — couples especially seem to get it. You’re not paying for services you don’t need, but you’re getting that prime Cannes location that would cost twice as much at a traditional hotel. The terrace alone justifies the stay, especially during festival season when having your own outdoor space feels like winning the lottery. It’s practical, well-positioned, and honestly, after walking around Cannes all day, coming back to that terrace with a bottle of wine and watching the sunset — well, that’s pretty much the Cannes experience right there.
