Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic

Housed in an Art Deco palace on the fabled Boulevard de la Croisette, the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic is an icon of Cannes.

Facing the Palais des Festivals and steps from the old port, Le Majestic offers a star-studded stay, every bit as impressive as the 2,500 photos of celebrity guests that line the hallways. With amenities ranging from a heated outdoor pool and private beach to a 40-seat cinema and sumptuous spa, this luxurious property is a destination in itself.

The 350 rooms and suites have a timeless elegance. Tastefully decorated in classical French style, they feature antique-style furniture and rich fabrics, wrapped up in natural hues with black accents and the occasional splash of colour. Treat yourself to a sea view room, or opt for one of the sumptuous celebrity suites – pick of the bunch is the Majestic Suite, with a home cinema and private rooftop pool overlooking the sea.

When it comes to wining and dining, guests are spoilt for choice. Four restaurants cater for everything from gourmet Mediterranean to Parisian brasserie cuisine and Italian specialities, while the four bars range from refined cocktail bars to a sultry nightclub.

While away hours on the private beach, enjoying water sports by day and partying by night. Lounge around the private pool, enjoy an indulgent trip to the Spa Diane Barrière, or watch a film at the private cinema room.
