Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes

My stay at the Majestic Hotel in Cannes was absolutely incredible from start to finish. The beach club is simply amazing—stylish, relaxing, and the perfect place to soak up the Riviera sun. And the breakfast buffet? Without a doubt, the best in Cannes. The variety, quality, and attention to detail were unmatched. As a pet owner, I was so impressed by how pet-friendly the hotel is—my furry companion was welcomed with open arms and felt just as pampered as I did. A special mention to the front desk team, who were consistently warm, helpful, and professional. Lorenzo, in particular, went above and beyond—truly the best front desk agent I’ve encountered. His kindness and efficiency made all the difference. And the concierge team was equally outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and always ready to assist with a smile.

Lovely, but understaffed. Really frustrating as we joined to use the beach. I love thé spa, they’re incredibly polite as are the people at the pool. Yassim is adorable. We come regularly for the restaurant as well and are always delighted. Sunday Jazz brunch is a must. Sadly, the beach needs a bit of help. It’s gorgeous and newly renovated with a superb restaurant, but the staff, specifically the ladies at reception are pretty rude (two in particular, the other two were quite young and new on the job). Service doesn’t feel at all personal. The reception at the beach made me feel like a walking credit card and rather than accommodating a request due to an eye disease not being able to sit in a windy spot, the woman tried to lay blame on me for not booking properly. You shouldn’t have to fight for 100 euro chairs, only to be told you need to up-speck to a 130 euro chair. Note, about five couples cut us in line and the reception did nothing to mitigate this. I hope the managers sort this out. Someone more senior needs to be present. They barely knew how to enter a reservation on the system. Our pontoon waiter was lovely as were the bus boys. So that was a plus. Sadly, they were run off their feet - it shouldn’t take an hour to receive a 30 euro cocktail you go here to be spoiled. I’ll give them another change, but have no interstate in returning if they don’t step it up.

The hotel’s amenities exceeded my expectations – the pool and fitness center were clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of fresh and delicious options each morning. The location was also perfect, which made exploring the area very convenient.

Been coming here for 15 years now and its standards are dropping. It’s a shame!|Last year our room was tired and had a few problems, debated if to come back this year but decided to try again. Wish I hadn’t. Our room which was prestige sea view has a small clothes rail but no draws or shelves so we were expected to live out of a suitcase for a week! We were offered a different room but was dark and hardly had a sea view. The staff were rude and treated us like we were asking for the world - not what you expect for a room over £1000 a night! We were told as not booked directly with the hotel there was little they could do! You get penalised if use another agent! |They really don’t care of you are happy or not, if you come back or not! |The bathroom is never stocked up correctly, you have to constantly ring down for shower gel etc|However, The pool staff are amazing as usual.

A heartfelt thank you to Giuseppe and his entire team for the truly wonderful stay we had! From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warmth, professionalism, and an exceptional level of kindness that is rare to find. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, making our experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for the highest standards of hospitality, the Majestic is the place to be. We felt truly cared for — thank you again for making our stay so special!

I stayed here a few days and it was a wonderful hotel. Very clean and excellent service. Delicious breakfast buffet with many options. Special thank you to Joel and others for going above and beyond to help me find my work bag, which I lost.

We love and visit Cannes often, and we stayed in this hotel for the second time...but this time we didn't feel welcome. The staff there was so fake, sorry to say that, but checking what kind of watch and shoes you are wearing and these things are so off. The location is perfect, a warm swimming pool too, rooms need a bit more (cracking walls and leaking showers..), but the overall experience was fine. To be honest, for that price it should be 10 out of 10. But it's not anymore...

During our check-out, one of the staff members who handled our luggage opened my carry-on and stole a pair of shoes. This was shocking and completely unprofessional. I contacted the hotel immediately, but they offered no help or resolution. Their lack of accountability made the experience even worse. I expected much better from a place that claims to value its guests. Be very cautious with your belongings if you stay here.

I stayed at the Le Majestic on business for a few nights. While the hotel and its location are very nice, the service is terrible and the blatant disregard for hotel guests is really troubling. I visited the pool side for a drink. There were many others around but it took over 25 minutes for me to get acknowledged by the wait staff. I gave up and went elsewhere. Perhaps most troubling was that the hotel had a massive party with music, a light show and so on. It was so loud and bright that I could not sleep until after 2am. I called the front desk to ask why the hotel guests were not notified of the disturbance. They don't do that in France, it seems. When I alerted the hotel manager about these and other issues, he simply said he can't be everywhere all the time and that I should not be surprised that the hotel would host large parties. It is Cannes, after all. Don't go to this hotel! Save your money and stay at one of the many nicer hotels nearby!

Beautiful hotel across the street from the beach with a wonderful restaurant. See pics included- everything we ate was delicious The burrata and tomatoes were my fav & the best ever.

Beautiful lobby but the service and the rooms were horrible. I came for my honeymoon and there was a leak in my room and all my clothes got soaked :( I had to pack all my stuff that I unpacked for a three day trip and grab my destroyed clothes and move to another room (where the toilet didn't flush) and when I told them that it was an inconvenience to move and my stuff was ruined, Beatrice was rude and said "things like this happen and it's just unfortunate that it was you". Would not recommend staying here. There are plenty of hotels nearby where they treat you like humans.

I had high hopes for this hotel and its services. The outside environment may have leaned me toward lesser stars. Here are the things I liked: 1. Great location to Palais de Festivals 2. Staff are all very nice 3. Morning Breakfast is abundant with healthy, tasty choices. 4. Beds are phenomenal 5. Maid service is great 6. Hotel Room was large with a great bathtub and separate shower. The seating area in my living room was very roomy and comfortable. All esthetically pleasing 7. Decent Gym Things that need improvement: 1. Private Beach area closed. I wish I had known before booking 2. Concierge service told me the closest place to buy tennis shoes was 15 minutes away and that they could send someone to purchase them for me. This was odd when I found many options two blocks away from the hotel. 3. Concierge told me I needed to walk four long blocks away to catch the little train when it was located directly across the front of the hotel at the Palais de Festivals. 4. Front Desk should have informed me at check-in, telling me I had 125 euros for food at their restaurants. When they made my reservation, they made it at a non-affiliated restaurant. 5. The $165 massage did not include a neck rub. The massage was a letdown experience for this type of venue. The reason given was that I requested no oil in my hair. I don't understand why the masseuse didn't wash her hands and massage my neck. Cannes is in a significant state of reconstruction right now. Rumor is they have been like this for five years. But I need to see how this is possible with the Cannes Film Festival attendees coming here with the state of affairs as is. The sidewalks on both sides of the street have gapping holes large enough for full-size vehicles to fall in, much less a person. Dust in the air, drilling sounds constantly, wired fences up EVERYWHERE. Very distracting.

Close to Palais des Festival , but very noisy during the night , pool too small for 250 rooms , impossible to have a sun bed , lot of children cry close from the swomming pool , breakfast too expensif .Nice spa but little hammam

Most pretentious and snobby Hotel and Cannes, France. The stuff is very rude and totally unwelcoming. Had a very bad experience with them. I'll never go back.

Excellent, comfy, spacious room, with a bed you can take a nice deep sleep in. The staff is very attentive and give strong recommendations. Directly across the street from the beach and within walking distance from anywhere you want to go.

Great Boutique hotel. Love the service, espresso machine in the room, great decor, and even better views from the room!

The lobby, the restaurant and the bar are great, but ridiculously expensive. I m a member of lhw and i m use too real five star luxury and services, from cheap soap, hold wall paint, extremely small tv, no sound system, cleaning lady coming in even with the sign do not disturb i have to say i m disappointed. The cannes casino that belong to the same group is also a huge disappointment, unpleasant and incompetent staff at cash table games.

A member of the LHW and is one of the most luxury and chic hotels of Cannes. Besides it's new, and that's why it beats the competition of the Carlton, Martinez or Miramar. Situated in the center of the city, at famous all over the world promenade de la Croisette, it's a walking distance to everything: Palais de Congres where takes place famous Cannes Festival every single year, Casino, shops, restaurants, marina, all tourist attractions and sights. Numerous grand boutiques are right at the hotel or at the corner. Decorated with the photos of famous movie stars, directors and celebrities, visiting Cannes film festival, and most of them were staying at this hotel of course. If you book a regular standard room - don't expect that it will be big and spacious like in the same kind of hotels in US for example. It will be pretty small, but elegantly cozy and with great bed, very comfortable linens and duvet. If you need ice - call room service, there is no ice machine. The suits and penthouses are much larger and some of them have balconies and gorgeous Mediterranean sea view. Minibar in the room, no coffee or tea maker, it's not Marriott... Breakfast is an enormous buffet and it would cost you about 40 euros per person. But it's really something. They offer all you can think of. And Champaign of course - Pommery. Smoked Salmon, cheese selection, meat cuts, order your omlet or eggs of any kind... If you're a breakfast person- you'll indulge yourself. But if you eat just fruits for breakfast- that's offering much more for the price they charge. You can do room service too. SPA is in the building. Looks trendy, but I haven't tried their services. Fitness center looks good too. Occupies two rooms and features various cardio machines, strength, weights, cycling machines, and equipment for functional training and even for boxing. They offer packages, like 5th night for free, SPA package etc. The outdoor pool is right next to the Fouquet's restaurant and it's not big, but enough to relax and have a drink may be. There is a bar right next to the pool. They have their private beach. The rates are really incredibly high to my mind and there are people who are paying the price for some hotels less than they charge for the sun bed at the beach, but for the Cannes standards I would say that it's quite normal. Full day at the beach (9am-6:30 pm) would be 50 Euros average for person. Half day would be average 30 per person. They have slight difference if you reserve at pontoon, first raw or regular beach area. And the water sports rentals are at the pier, invcluding such activities as parasailing, flying fish, water-skiing, wakeboarding, etc. Also lessons with instructor are possible. There is a restaurant and lounge area. Restaurant is open for lunch from noon. Beach looks beautiful. But I noted that after rains or light storm they don't bother to clean it- the seashore and the water there was incredibly dirty, full of disgusting garbage. For the hotel of this level it was very disappointing, especially if you have to pay for the beach 40-50 Euros per person and overlook all this dirt. Of course I understand that people don't go much into to the water to swim, but just stay there the to show off, but if the water was cleaner may be they would go in more... On the territory there are 3 restaurants and 2 bars. Fouquet's Cannes as the one in Paris is really famous in the city as well as the Rotonde Louise Pommery Bar. There are charming helpful concierges working all the time and they will be happy to reserve you a table at the Michelin star restaurant of your likeness or suggest you something nice to their taste. Valet Parking for your convenience. Great place for your romantic holidays at French Riviera.

The Majestic remains THE place to be in Cannes. And now more than ever. Needless to say the Bar in the Majestic is also THE place to meet people and to do deals. I have done some of my biggest deals there, and this year (2015) was no exception. The service is impeccable, and the staff is respectful of the fact that guests and visitors are there to do business.

The best property in Cannes. They have really stepped-up the service and attitude since my last stay... Could be a new Gen. Mgr. or did they add a training manager? Everyone seemed pleased to have guests there spending money. It is a refreshing change!

I would give a thousand stars if i could. We are accustomed to super luxury, elegance and excellent service. We regularly visit diamond star resorts globally for pleasure and business purposes. That being said, our 10-day experience at the Majestic Barriere far exceeded already high expectations and established a new benchmark. Of note, I spent weeks researching the best spot to stay in Cannes. Location/Customer Service: We went in Spring 2015, the week of Congress and just before Festival, so you can imagine the busy and chaotic energy in Cannes during that time, but the entire staff at this hotel made us feel as though we were the only guests. Truly. I can only imagine how it is during a low season. The staff was always attentive, warm, courteous, professional and available to assist. Absolutely exceptional customer service provided and particularly by Girard and Tibaud. This hotel is located in the absolute best part of Cannes. It is easy to walk everywhere from here and see everything. We have family spread around Cannes, Beaulieu sur Mer, and were able to easily meet up from this hotel. Check-in: First, the moment we arrived the valet, bellhops and greeters were spot on - friendly, but not too friendly, and very efficient. Fouquet parfum intoxicating the main level room is nice too. Then, the check-in process was smooth and swift - thanks 100% to Girard. Frankly, I was concerned because I had sent an email directly to the GM to verify our room and received no response. I alerted the front desk to this issue upon arrival and within seconds, Girard approached us with a professional and warm attitude. He answered our questions and immediately made us feel confident, despite the lack of email response, that our stay would be incredible nonetheless, and it was indeed. He personally showed us our room to assure our satisfaction, which he successfully achieved. For the following days, as we would come and go - the front desk staff was helpful, smiling, polite and eager to provide assistance. The superior level of communication amongst the staff can be the only explanation for how everyone seemed to know our wants and needs before we could even ask. Room and Cleanliness: Spectacular and breathtaking, top floor sea view room. The patio was incredible. We sat out there everyday at sunset to absorb the beauty of our surroundings. I'm still dreaming about the day we return for another visit. Lovely décor and nicely situated furnishings. Bedding and linens were sublime. The bed lent itself to a dreamy comfortable sleep. It was also very quiet and peaceful, particularly when you close the window covering. The room was immaculate and super clean, daily, and at evening turn down the refresh was beyond what we expected (not because of the delicious chocolate left bedside but because of the cleaning staff's attentiveness to detail without getting personal). Towels were always refreshed and not once did I have to ask for housekeeping. I happen to be very particular and there was not one spot anywhere that needed cleaning - for the entire 10 days! They always seemed to know when we left in the morning and in the evening. So discreet and efficient. Dining: Each morning we started our day in the hotel restaurant (Fouquet) for breakfast buffet. Well worth every cent. The food was excellent, fresh and had everything you could want even if you are on a gluten free, low calorie or other nutritional program. We ordered off menu as well at times and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent quality. I also invited a local guest to join for a few meals and she was also very impressed. From the first day, Tibaud remembered our names and the tables we preferred. Starting off the day with such a pleasant and personable experience, despite the fully booked nature of the dining room and the hotel, made the Barriere feel like a home away from home. Tibaud contributed to the positive and joyful mood and by far the best server I have ever had and the best asset for the restaurant, if not the hotel. In fact, there were days we thought of dining out, but knowing we would be greeted by his kind face and positive energy lured us to return each day. Pool & Beach: We ate poolside on nice days and that was also a lovely experience. The pool seemed very nice and clean but we did not have opportunity to use it on this particular trip. The poolside bar we tried a few times before dinner and going out. The service was excellent. Family and Romance: Though this trip was for the adults only, we often travel with our daughter. We noticed several families with kids and decided it would also be a great spot to bring her with us next time!
