In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Perched directly opposite the Palais des Festivals, the Croisette promenade leads within minutes to the old harbor and rue d'Antibes shops.
The rooms
Classic French interiors dressed in nautical blue and cream frame views across the Bay of Cannes toward the Lérins Islands.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor swimming pool is heated year-round to 27°C, set among manicured gardens and red umbrellas.
The spa and gym
Spa Diane Barrière uses Biologique Recherche protocols, a sauna, and an ice fountain. The gym stays open 24/7.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Ciro's serves fresh seafood on the private beach, and Le Bar du Majestic mixes cocktails with edible perfumes.
How it began
Opened in 1926, the Art Deco palace hosted legendary film shoots and remains family-run into its third generation of stewardship.
