“Uplifting, elating, they must be honoured and treasured. Fusion between a football team and its ecstatic stadium, presentation of an artwork to a discerning public, rebirth of a historic building in osmosis with its town.

After renovation since 2016 and a 2-year closure, the Carlton Cannes, radiant inside and out, reopens its doors. Between heritage and modernity, a window on both past and future. Embellished, extended, this iconic Palace testifies to French excellence, a refined art of living. An archetype enhanced to meet new codes, expectations of a high-end clientele, evolutions in the luxury market. Inseparable from the Croisette since 1911, its 'Belle Époque' architecture and legendary (erotic) domes, the Carlton is an emblem of Cannes, its magic and glamour, rather like an Eiffel Tower. Our heritage, a listed historic monument since 1989. One of the world’s most illustrious 5-stars, to which we feel so close, even if not necessarily regular guests!

The Carlton is also a human and economic reality: the N°2 employer in our area, with up to 700 jobs, seasonal included, a global flagship of the charisma of Cannes, the Riviera, and thus of France. Its colossal renovation mobilized 450 firms, mostly local, and many social integration workers, all trades combined. Its extent and demands have spotlighted and preserved crafts at risk. Each employee, worker and craftsman, some also working on restoration of the Château de Versailles, was honoured to contribute to this vast renovation, the result of record hotel investment in Europe, huge in terms of economic benefits, and confirming its owners’ confidence in the future of Cannes.

This trust stems from unfailing resolve and huge investments by the municipality each year to make Cannes a unique destination facing growing international competition. One of the goals of the programme 'The Croisette reinvents its legend', it brings our legendary boulevard into the 21st century, respecting its identity, reinforcing its appeal and competitiveness, supporting the tourism sector’s development. Cannes is a promise, an international brand of elegance, luxury, beauty, prestige. The Carlton is one of its greatest strengths. Authentic, and looking to the future. Long live the Carlton, long live Cannes!”
