Hotel
Experience the real aura of the Riviera by staying in this historic gem on the Croisette.
The history of Cannes’ emblematic boulevard dates back to the mid-19th century when the town began to develop as a winter seaside resort for European aristocracy. Over the years, palm trees were planted, beaches were created and hotels built, gradually transforming it into the most elegant promenade. JW Marriott Cannes then made its appearance, hosting in turn the Cercle Nautique and Palais des Festivals. An iconic address for a stylish stay on the Côte d’Azur.
From your very first glance at the Croisette, JW Marriott Cannes stands out for its bold contemporary architecture. Its avant-garde entrance is characterized by a curved canopy and a constellation of over 200 lights. Inside, refined design, noble materials such as Calacatta Gold marble, Knoll and Minotti furnishings, and Christian Lacroix textile creations compose an elegant, luxurious world, reflecting the hotel’s legendary glamour. Above the lobby, the monumental chandelier with its many strands adorned with bowties also attests to the hotel’s cinematic heritage.
Ideally located on the Croisette, JW Marriott Cannes offers a privileged, unimpeded view of the Mediterranean. Despite the hundreds of palm trees lining this famous boulevard, the hotel benefits from an unrestricted view. A feature recalling the days when a perfect backcloth had to be provided for photographers taking shots of stars during the International Film Festival. From the hotel’s top floor, the Lérins Islands and Estérel hills are unveiled in all their splendour. Indisputably one of the loveliest views the town has to offer.
Behind its glass facade, the hotel unveils a well-kept secret: the JW Garden. Inspired by the legacy of founders John Willard and Alice Marriott, fervent believers in the power of nature to nurture the soul, this refreshing haven embalms the senses with aromatic herbs that are used in the restaurants’ kitchens. Its Serene Space on the Renoir Terrace is highly conducive to reconnecting with oneself.
The JW Marriott philosophy is rooted in well-being. Inspired by its founder, who looked after his own well-being to take better care of others, the hotel offers amenities allowing guests to reconnect with their bodies, spirits and souls. JW Marriott Cannes notably places a fitness centre at their disposal so that they can pursue their routines during their stays.
With Executive Chef Kévin Yahiaoui-Debourge at the helm, the Scalini restaurant on the ground floor proposes authentic Italian cuisine in which the ingredients’ freshness and quality offer memorable tastes. From Scalini Avocado to Spaghetti All’Aragosta, Branzino al Cartoccio and Scaloppina alla Milanese, each dish enhanced, if so desired, by a selection of trans-Alpine wines, is an invitation to travel. Not forgetting dolci, including the essential Tiramisu. In a modern setting, warm and congenial, Scalini transports its guests to the heart of Italy.
The Festival City is a favourite destination among families, just like JW Marriott Cannes. The hotel proposes spacious, connecting rooms guaranteeing comfortable stays for both parents and children. Eager to respond to everyone’s needs, the concierges also concoct bespoke experiences enabling families to share very special moments. For even more peace of mind, child-care service is available by request.
Recommended addresses, suggestions for activities, reservations for shows, organization of private tours… At JW Marriott Cannes, Golden Key concierges go one better than simply meeting requests: they conjure up long-lasting memories. Real ambassadors for the region, they guide guests towards the most original experiences, from a trip to Monaco at the wheel of a sports car to discovering the marvels of Le Mercantour or creating your own perfume in Grasse. The promise of a unique stay on the Côte d’Azur.
The Croisette in Cannes holds the world record for luxury boutiques, ahead of Avenue Montaigne in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York. Along almost 1 kilometre, the famous boulevard unfurls showcases of the most illustrious names in high couture: Dior, Hermès, Chanel, Saint Laurent, Prada, Fendi, Gucci, to name just a few, but also renowned watch and jewellery makers such as Chopard, Van Cleef & Arpels, Boucheron, Fred and Bulgari. A place where classic French elegance goes hand-in-hand with international prestige.
On six evenings in summer, the Festival of Pyrotechnical Art sets the sky above Cannes sparkling with a thousand lights. Organized by the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès since 1967, this absolute-must event brings together the world’s best firework technicians for dazzling pyro-musical shows. With its panoramic view of the Bay of Cannes, JW Marriott offers a prime location for taking full advantage of these firework displays which draw several hundred thousand spectators each year. Truly awesome!
