Carlton Inter-Continental Cannes

Pros: Drop-dead location on La Croisette, renovated rooms are spacious and inviting
Cons: Rooms facing the rear have no view, very expensive extras here

The Carlton has lorded it over the sweeping promenade called La Croisette in Cannes since it was built in 1911. A grand, sweeping statement of whimsy, the Carlton's tiers of bay windows and twin domes capping either end suggest a towering ...

But the Carlton is today a quite normal Inter-Continental Hotel. The service and the rooms do have a very good quality but this you could expect for the rates. Without the history of this hotel, the April Cannes festival and the impressive fassade of the building, you wouldn't return.
