The newly refreshed Carlton is the most famous hotel in the south of France.
It might have been a poster from the 1920s when the French Riviera was all the rage. I fling open the tall arched windows of my suite in the landmark Carlton hotel and step on the tiny iron balcony to get a better look at the sunset.
Most people are familiar with photos of Cannes in May, when it hosts the famous film festival and movie stars ascend the red carpet of the Palais des Festivals et des Congres accompanied by a barrage of paparazzi. But not everyone knows that the small French city is busy all year hosting other cultural events and conferences, such as the Midem music festival and the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
The Carlton is the most famous hotel in the south of France. After a painstaking restoration and rebranding as a Regent hotel, it is being promoted as “the reborn icon of the Riviera”. The beautiful Belle Epoque building, which dates to 1913, was named a Historical Monument in 1989, preserving its facade, domes, Grand Salon and two staircases.
