Hôtel Martinez

Hôtel Martinez is at 73 Bd de la Croisette, a position that defines the local map. You are steps away from the private beach and the main thoroughfare of La Croisette, while the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès is a ten-minute walk down the promenade.

This hotel is the most reliable choice for those visiting for the festival, if only because it removes the logistical nightmare of crossing town during the crush. While the neighbours on the boulevard compete for the most noise, the Martinez keeps a steady, predictable rhythm. It is a more formal register than the surrounding boutique entries, which can feel cluttered during the height of the summer season. If you want the scale of a grand hotel that actually delivers on its proximity to the water, the walk to the convention centre is a small price to pay.
