Belle Plage: a hotel just a stone’s throw from the Croisette, without the hustle and bustle

Staying on the Croisette has its advantages, but also its drawbacks: crowds of tourists, heavy traffic and prices that reflect the location’s reputation. Belle Plage offers an alternative: a hotel near the Croisette in Cannes, just a few minutes’ walk away, but situated in a quieter, more residential neighbourhood, in the shade of the palm trees in Square Mistral.

This location allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: the immediate proximity to the city’s iconic landmarks for sightseeing, shopping or events, and the tranquillity of a less crowded neighbourhood for moments of rest. It’s a more intimate side of Cannes, close to the hustle and bustle of the Croisette yet slightly set back. Which suits travellers visiting for the Festival just as much as those seeking a more relaxed break on the Côte d’Azur.

What you can reach on foot from the hotel

One of Belle Plage’s great advantages is that it allows you to explore everything on foot. Here are the main Cannes landmarks accessible from the hotel, without the need for a car or public transport.

The Croisette and its beaches

The famous promenade and its fine sandy beaches are about a fifteen-minute walk from the hotel, a pleasant stroll lined with palm trees, offering a gentle transition from the tranquillity of Square Mistral to the hustle and bustle of the seafront. It’s the perfect way to enjoy a hotel close to the beach in Cannes without being directly exposed to the hustle and bustle.

The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès

The Palais des Festivals, the epicentre of the Cannes Film Festival and the city’s major professional events, is within walking distance of the Croisette. This is a major advantage for business travellers or festival-goers looking for a hotel near the Palais des Festivals.

The Old Port and Rue d’Antibes

Just a few minutes’ walk from the hotel, you can reach the Vieux-Port and its waterfront restaurants, as well as Rue d’Antibes and its shops. These are two must-visit spots in Cannes city centre for a stroll, dinner or a spot of shopping, close to a hotel in the centre of Cannes that is nonetheless set back from the main tourist thoroughfares.

A 5-star hotel between the sea and the city centre

Beyond its location, Belle Plage is, above all, a 5-star hotel designed to offer an elegant and comfortable stay, with services that extend the experience far beyond a simple overnight stay.

Rooms, suites and apartments designed for tranquillity

The hotel’s rooms and suites combine contemporary design, fine materials and Mediterranean inspiration, creating a bright and tranquil atmosphere. For longer stays or groups, the hotel also offers self-contained apartments that can accommodate up to four people. As well as the 163 m² Maison Clemenceau, which can accommodate up to six people and is designed to offer complete independence in the heart of Cannes. Everything you need to create a bespoke stay, whether it’s a romantic getaway, a business trip or an extended stay on the Côte d’Azur.

Restaurant Bella: the Mediterranean seen from above

Perched high above the hotel, the Bella restaurant offers a panoramic view of the Bay of Cannes and the Estérel Mountains. Its menu showcases local, seasonal Mediterranean cuisine, designed to be shared, from breakfast through to dinner. This is one of the features that sets Belle Plage apart from purely urban hotels in the city centre: enjoying a sea view without staying right on the seafront.

Yacht hire to explore the Bay of Cannes

Belle Plage also offers a yacht hire service to explore the Bay of Cannes in a different way – an original way to extend your stay beyond the city centre and discover the Côte d’Azur from the open sea.

The Dollfus Room, for your meetings and private events

For business trips, the hotel also features a private meeting space, the Dollfus Room. It can accommodate up to 30 people seated and 50 people in a cocktail-style layout for seminars or private events. This is a valuable option for groups visiting Cannes for a trade fair or convention, as it allows them to organise their event without leaving the hotel. The hotel also holds the Clé Verte certification, a benchmark for sustainable tourism, making it a strategic, refined and socially responsible choice in the heart of Cannes.

SPA VILLA BELLE PLAGE AND SHISO RESTAURANT: A WELLNESS RETREAT

Just a short walk from the hotel, Spa Villa Belle Plage offers a true wellness retreat overlooking the sea. Personalized body and facial treatments, as well as Watsu sessions, invite you to fully extend the experience of your stay. Hotel guests can also enjoy the hammam, sauna, and fitness center, by reservation and subject to availability. The relaxation continues at the Japanese restaurant Shiso, where refined and balanced cuisine reinterprets the spirit of sharing found in Japanese izakayas within an elegant and soothing setting.
