Hôtel Le Fouquet's, Cannes

Less famous than the likes of the Martinez and the Carlton , Hôtel Fouquet's nonetheless offers all the comfort you could wish for. Very central, it is located between the Croisette (along the sea) and Rue d'Antibes, a large shopping street overflowing with shops selling clothes, furniture and host of other items. Each room comes with its own private terrace. The decor is understated and harmonious. It is worth noting that there is an additional charge on the usual rates in high season (summer) and during major events and festivals. It is essential to book ahead on these occasions.
