Where to stay in Cannes during a trade show or festival

A conference at the Palais des Festivals, a week of meetings on La Croisette or a family holiday: your plans guide the choice of apartment. Tell us your guest numbers, preferred number of bedrooms and neighbourhood priorities so we can consider suitable addresses.

For larger groups, we can explore one large apartment or several properties in the same building, subject to availability. Our welcome at Hôtel Le Florian, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, makes key collection easier, including for late arrivals.
