The home of celebrities during the Cannes Film Festival; have a cocktail in the lobby, and you just might spot a few.
Distinguished by an elegant historical façade, with panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea, the InterContinental Carlton is located in La Croisette, in the heart of Cannes. All rooms are havens of luxury - the majority have been renovated to re-create the glamorous style of Hollywood in the 1950s, with 39 suites named after celebrities.
Here on business? You're only steps from the Palais des Festivals conference centre. Shoppers, of course, love the hotel's location on the Croisette, a mecca of luxury shopping. This is also a prime party-going spot during the Cannes Film Festival.
An extensive selection of innovative French and international cuisine is served in the colonial-style Carlton Restaurant. In the summers, guests spill out onto the bay-view terrace and sample from a Provencal buffet. If you want more intimacy, The Petit Bar is a quiet place to unwind with a cocktail at the end of another perfect day in the south of France.
