Staying here
New for 2010
Cannes' luxury hotels are as emblematic of the town as its film festival. This year's top people will be welcomed with a new look in most of the hotels on the Croisette. The Grand Hotel has re-opened with newly painted bedrooms and new kitc
hens. The quirky 3.14 
-boutique hotel for the ultra trendy - has spent 500,000 euros on behind-the-scene improvements to plumbing, air conditioning, new kitchens plus a spruced up beach restaurant. The Martinez has lashed out five million euros to transform 30 bedrooms and suites. The Gray d'Albion has completed its refurbishment at a cost of 6m euros. While over at the Palais Stephanie 40m euros has been spent on a whole new modern look for the hotel and its restaurant, La Scena. Topping them all, the Majestic has spent two years and 72m euros building a new wing, creating a gastronomic restaurant, Petite maison, and a spa as well as installing outdoor lighting. The rest of the hotel has been refurbished as well as its brasserie, le Fouquet's.
Cannes has 8,000 hotel rooms from the pension to the luxury palace hotels on the Croisette, as well as apartment hotels. Most hotel chains are represented. Throughout Cannes people rent out their apartments and the Tourist Office (Office de Tourisme)and various estate agents can supply details of holiday lets available.
