The garden pool
The infinity pool sits in the enclosed patio between the hotel wings.
Carlton Cannes
Carlton Cannes stands on La Croisette, with its Belle Époque façade, beach club and an infinity pool in the enclosed garden.
A week here, month by monthThe Carlton suits a stay spent exploring Cannes on foot, with restaurants and shops within walking distance and the lowest seller on Google showing €283 for one night for 2 adults. For a secluded coastal retreat, I would look beyond central Cannes.

The room to request
For a stay for 2, I would ask for a Premium room – Sea view with balcony: about 37 m², with a panoramic outlook over the bay of Cannes and the Estérel.
The weeks that cost less
For 20–26 November 2026, Google’s lowest sellers showed €276–€303 per night for 2 adults, read on 14 October 2026; the dearest nights shown, 9 and 10 December 2026, were €993 each.
Budget for the spa
At C Club Spa, the 60-minute Refining Body Exfoliation costs €190, with sauna and steam-room access included with body or facial treatments; allow for the treatment in your budget.
Breakfast without an alarm
If breakfast drifts past 10am, head to Camélia Tea Lounge: its Late Breakfast runs until 12pm every day, with tables taken without a reservation, subject to availability.
What the Carlton is
La Croisette runs past the domes; the garden sits within the wings of the building. The Carlton offers both sides of Cannes: the promenade, beach and Riviera terrace at the front, and the infinity pool in the courtyard. It is a base for walking out to lunch and coming back for a swim.
The reopening on 13 March 2023 brought the Regent name, 37 residences and a new arrangement of the interiors. There are 332 rooms and suites. The current catalogue separates 28 types, from city-facing Classic rooms to suites beneath the domes and a Penthouse with a private rooftop pool.
Classic rooms are about 27 m² and Premium rooms about 37 m². Sea view, balcony and terrace are separate catalogue descriptions. Residences have 1–4 bedrooms, a fitted kitchen and a living room.
Riviera serves breakfast from 7:30am to 10:30am, then Mediterranean cooking for lunch and dinner. The Beach Club serves lunch by the sea. At C Club Spa, sauna and steam-room access come with a body or facial treatment; they are not automatically included with every bedroom.
Outside summer, Cannes, its restaurants and the spa still give the stay a purpose. A beach-led trip needs closer attention to dates: Expedia lists the beach as unavailable on 25–26 June 2027, subject to change. The hotel website read on 14 October does not repeat that notice.

The numbers, and how we count them
| What | Score out of 10 | Guests who mention it | Happy |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location | 8.8 | 86 | 97% |
| Room | 8.3 | 62 | 90% |
| Staff and service | 8.9 | 411 | 92% |
| Breakfast | 8.8 | 57 | 95% |
| Price | – | 21 | 48% |
The scores come from 500 Google reviews with text, left from 4 October 2025 to 14 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Cannes: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 15 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in Cannes:
- Hôtel Martinez Cannes
- Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes
- JW Marriott Cannes
- Mondrian Cannes
Price: for two on the night of 13 December 2026, from €283 (seen on Google Hotels on 14 October 2026).
