There are cult places that make their city famous. In Cannes, the Grand Hotel has been majestically enthroned since 1963 on the Croisette. With its green gardens, private beach, luxurious rooms and gourmet restaurant, it is the ideal place for a dream stay on the Riviera.
It is impossible to stroll on the Croisette without noticing this impressive building preceded by beautiful gardens, belonging to the hotel. These are the only gardens on the mythical boulevard and they inevitably attract all eyes. the Grand Hotel of Cannes is part of the city's history and remains, fifty years after its complete renovation, one of the most select and trendy addresses.
Is this the understated luxury or the attention to the smallest detail that have made the reputation of this 5 star hotel ? Certainly, everything has been thought out to provide travelers with an unforgettable stay. The rooms, first of all, are a cocoon of refinement. Spacious and bright, we take advantage of their breathtaking view of the sea. Elegant and deliciously retro decoration, design down to the millimeter, fresh flowers and even Bulgari products… Charm can be found in every corner of the room, both in the rooms and in the suites. The latter are breathtaking with their large space, their private terrace (two of them even offer a jacuzzi on the terrace with a sea view!) and their top notch service. Life is good here and the hotel is ideal for recharging your batteries for a few days.
But the rooms are not the only asset of the hotel, far from it. Indeed, besides its Bar lounge, the Circle, where all-Cannes crowds, the gastronomic restaurant from the hotel, Park 45, is one of the most gourmet addresses in the city. Chef Hervé Busson's cuisine leaves no one indifferent. Contemporary and authentic, the dishes respect the flavors of each product and are rich in discovery. Whether you settle in the warm room or on the pretty garden terrace, dinner goes off without a hitch.
During the day, it's on the private beach 45 that we go to take advantage of the Cannes sun. With its deckchairs, its mattresses, its beds for two on the pontoon, its new hammocks (for two or three people) and the fabulous Gazebos for lunch or dinner to book, it is the ideal spot for moments of vacation by the water. On the pontoon or on the terraces of the beach bar and restaurant, calm and voluptuousness await you. The days could easily be longer in this little piece of paradise, if we didn't really want to return to our wonderful hotel...
