Head Concierge Karim Cheddad built his Golden Key career in the hotel where he started out 25 years ago as a porter and car valet.
Becoming a concierge was a real revelation for Karim Cheddad, whose passion for his work is undeniable. “Speaking several languages, meeting people from all over the world, helping them and making them feel at home… This is work in which people come to us, and where you feel genuinely useful,” says this native of Grasse. “I am one of the hotel’s three concierges, all with Golden Keys,” he proudly adds. A guarantee of excellence attesting to in-depth knowledge of the region. The Head Concierge’s curiosity never ends. “I’m interested in everything around me. Learning, reading, travelling, discovering new addresses, are all ways of staying connected.” For him, being a concierge implies observing everything, having a ready ear, and finding solutions. “It is very gratifying to satisfy our guests, who have very high expectations.” For Karim Cheddad, the best part of his work consists of encounters and building relationships. So don’t hesitate to ask for him directly to benefit from well-advised recommendations. Backed by his team, he will be delighted to make your stay even more memorable.
“Comprised of Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat, the Lérins Islands are an absolute must. A corner of paradise just a few minutes by boat from Cannes. Visitors spend a whole day there to take full advantage of nature, total peace and quiet, bathing in crystal-clear water, and exploring Fort Royal, made famous by the tale of The Man in the Iron Mask.”
“Winding its way between the turquoise water of the Mediterranean and the red rocks of the Massif de l’Estérel, this coast road connecting Cannes to Saint-Raphaël unveils landscapes, each one lovelier than the last, around each bend. Nestling in this magnificent decor, Théoule-sur-Mer, a charming, peaceful seaside resort, is a fine example of Mediterranean living.”
“Cannes is near the loveliest villages on the Côte d’Azur. Fifteen minutes away, Mougins is full of monuments to discover, such as the bell tower of the Church of Saint-Jacques-le-Majeur. In Èze, you will enjoy losing your way in cobbled streets lined with colourful old houses. Not forgetting Saint-Paul-de-Vence which, in its day, captivated great artists such as Matisse, Picasso and Chagall.”
“Between sea and mountains, Cannes offers privileged access to ski resorts in winter. Just a 2-hour drive away, at the gateway to the National Mercantour Park, the resort of Auron is popular for its family atmosphere and generous sunshine. Its vast skiing area offers 135 kilometres of slopes, suitable for all levels.”
