InterContinental Carlton Cannes, Cannes

we have been guests at the carlton for six consecutive years. The service is 5***** without fail. The concierges are the best in the world-nothing is too much trouble, no request too small. The reviewer who made so many racial slurs! And referred to "hefty tips" is unfamiliar with france, simply ignorant, does not travel globally or all three. Tipping is not mandatory and the service does not decline accordingly. I have never felt unsafe for a minute in the hotel, or anywhere in cannes for that matter. This is one of the most famous palace hotels in the world. Appreciating its history and architecture, no one fortunate enough to be a guest there would seek out the flaws. This grande dame is stunning, even though she is "of a certain age", as the french delicately say. there are indeed slippers and robes in every room, as well as lovely l'occitane cosmetics and amenities.the rates drop dramatically off season. Join the intercon's ambassador club and experience benefits worldwide. at the carlton, you will feel like royalty. If you find it too costly, drop back one block off la croisette and pay lower rates. The carlton experience is worth every centime!

cannes is known worldwide, stars & glitters... and one place which really corresponds to these criterias, where we experience the best service and always with a smile.

I went to the hotel on a works week away, This is the besyt hotel i have stayed in the Hotel, Room service was great. Wish i could stay there for weeks

Not only the service is slow to follow and fulfill orders, unless one looks like a million bucks (hypocrites!), the room amenities are for their price (500-900 euro) somewhere between 3-star and 4-star hotel. This hotel seems to care only to very rich, celebrities, and oil sheiks from Arabia. Everybody else is nothing & nobody to them (at least this is the impression I got here from 6-day stay). Also this hotel claims to be recently renovated but I highly doubt it as the only new item was a new wide-screen flat TV set and computerized mini-bar (which immediately charges one's acct. upon taking anything out of its slot), Cabinets and closets were all beatenn up and scratched, with yellowing white paint. The bathroom had very poor lighting which makes unable to see one's face from each side at any given time (think the pain of shaving or make-up!). The plumbing pipes were making loud whining noise able to wake me up at any given time. Bathroom sinks had large chunks of porcelain chipped away, and it was difficult to get to toilet seat due to oversize bidet blocking the access. No swimming pool on the roof, in rooms no slip-ons, no ironing board, no slackers press, no mouthwash, no shoe-polishing machine, no ice buckets, no pens, no itinieary (letterheads, envelopes), no radio, really crappy TV signal with ~25 euro stations (Fr., Ge., some Eng.) and another ~20 channels of arabic TV, mostly Allah prayers or some of the lamest arab soap operas I have ever witnessed). Everything single little stupidest thing (that I take for granted in 5-star hotels) one had to order via room service (with hefty tips expected). This hotel is pretty much catering mainly to Arabs and then the rest of the world. Not a good visage for France!!! I'd better suggest Hotel Martinez (2nd biggest hotel on the Boulevard), Noga Hilton (if you are scared American who requires dozens of security personell on the floor), or Hotel Miramax or Hotel Gray D'Albion (I don't have any info of these hotels)

We have been going there for years and it gets better and better everyday!

The hotel was only OK. The rooms were rather small (which is typical in Europe) and the service wasn't impressive. The views were amazing and the location was great, but overall, I wasn't impressed. Only OK.
