Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel

The 10 Best Luxury Hotels in the French Riviera - AFAR

"A Belle Époque landmark on La Croisette that helped establish Cannes as a luxury summer destination, this cream-colored icon—famous for its twin domes and storied guest list—reopened after an extensive restoration to reveal new wings, a Mediterranean garden, an infinity pool, and an expansive C Club Fitness and Spa that even features the city’s first boxing ring. With hundreds of rooms (many with sea views) and a history of hosting film festival juries and Hollywood stars, the property blends grand historic detail—gold leaf, chandeliers, marble—with modern amenities and renewed public spaces." - Mary Winston Nicklin
