Hôtel Martinez

Hôtel Martinez sits at 73 Bd de la Croisette. It is steps away from the hotel’s private stretch of sand and the main thoroughfare of La Croisette. The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès is a ten-minute walk down the promenade.

This is the choice for those who want to be in the middle of the coastal action rather than tucked away in the hills. While the proximity to the Palais makes it the inevitable pick for festival traffic, the private beach is the real advantage here. It offers a buffer from the public crowds that pack the rest of the waterfront, allowing you to settle on the sand without leaving the property. It is dressier than the neighboring beach clubs, trading the casual pulse of the strip for a more formal seaside tempo.
