The 9 Best Hotels in the French Riviera
"After seven years of painstaking restoration, the spectacular revival of this century-old grand dame focuses on today’s essentials. Rebranded as a Regent Hotel and part of the IHG Hotels & Resorts portfolio, the Carlton’s polished comeback includes everything from the deeply comfortable remodelled Deco cream-and-black rooms, seven new suites and a sprawling penthouse to the neo-regal lobby, aglow with marble stucco columns, newly-found frescoes and a contemporary-style concierge and reception desk. Also hogging the limelight: a cutting-edge C-club fitness and spa, an Anatolian restaurant, Rüya, and the elegant Bar 58. And then, the hidden showstopper: an enormous landscaped peristyle courtyard and fragrant garden jazzed up with a splash of blue – the city’s largest infinity pool. Price: From about $973 per night Address: Carlton Cannes, A Regent Hotel, Cannes, 58 Boulevard de la Croisette, Cannes" - Lanie Goodman
