Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes

There are plenty of red-carpet-ready hotels to stay in Cannes, but if you want to do it in style, there is only one — the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes. This luxury Art-Deco style hotel carries a glamorous, cinematic charisma that aptly reflects the sophistication and glamour that Cannes is known for.

Set just a stone’s throw from Palais des Festivals, (site of the Cannes Film Festival), Hotel Majestic is clearly a prime hotel at which to adorn your best outfit, and head across the street to be seen among the celebs, VIPs, and dignitaries of the filmmaking world.

Home to one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, the pretty seaside town of Cannes is home to countless luxurious hotels and boutiques. This resort town on the French Riviera does well in attracting the crème de la crème of the celebrity world, and Hotel Barrière Le Majestic has become the headquarters of this elite crowd during the glamorous film festival.

The luxury five-star hotel has a long list of international stars who have stayed here and continue to do so; Robert De Niro, Paris Hilton and Sylvester Stallone are among the myriad celebrities who have stayed here. Rooms and corridors are lined with over 2,000 black-and-white portraits of film legends, many of whom have stayed at the hotel. 

But that’s enough about the celebs, the exquisitely mannered staff at the Barriere Le Majestic welcome and treat all their guests like stars, couples and families alike. Guests can enjoy the breath-taking Mediterranean Sea views, a private beach, four restaurants and five bars; not to mention the best spa you’ll find in Cannes. 

Outside, the hotel’s private pool offers the most charming of ways to get away from it all with iconic red parasols and green palm trees for an idyllic escape. Meanwhile, the sea-facing fitness center will make you live a multisensory journey; with exercise machines fitted with digital apps and screens each guest can create a personalized training program (which they can follow at home or in any gym around the world equipped with the program).

The hotel’s private beach, La Plage Le Majestic, is also ideal. Guests can relax and unwind while enjoying cocktails, delicious treats, or choose from conventional and innovative water sports such as wakeboarding, water skiing, and parasailing.

Like most Barrière hotels, Le Majestic Cannes’ Petit VIP has plenty to keep children entertained; from workshops where they can create their own soundtrack or music video to art and photography workshops. Either way, they’ll have plenty of stories to tell after time here. 

You can truly enjoy the experience of being a jury member for the Cannes Film Festival, whether you have an invitation to the prestigious film festival with the hotel’s private cinema. In true Cannes fashion, you can enjoy your favorite films seated on luxury, velvet armchairs with a small group of people. The concierge service provides a majestic DVD library ranging from adventure films, rom-coms, and blockbusters, all available languages or with subtitles.

For those seeking a more luxe experience, The Barrière Ciné-Club offers movie lovers access to the private screen, serving a glass of Champagne and salty appetizers on Sunday evenings.

Built in the 1920s in classic Art Deco style, the luxury hotel features 350 sound-proof rooms and suites which all offer either panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea or views of the city of Cannes through large windows or from a private terrace. Contemporary style furniture with eye-catching color accents adorns the rooms for a timeless yet modern style.

Nested on the sixth floor is the hotel’s Christian Dior penthouse suite (the only one you’ll find in Cannes). The suite is an exceptional 420 sqm, with a private terrace offering 180° worth of panoramic views of the Mediterranean Sea and has windows directly facing the Cannes Film Festival red carpet.

The suite embodies French luxury and sophisticated Parisian glamour and comes with butler service, two bedrooms (each with its own bathroom, dressing and a private living room), a private swimming pool, a home cinema, lounge and spacious living room and an impressive dining room with Louis XVI style table. You’ll find Christian Dior’s historic pleated design on the red cushions on the sofas, while the master bedroom offers a dreamy walk-in closet.
