If you want to be right in the middle of the Cannes action, the Noga Hilton Cannes is where to stay. Were you to snag a room here during the Cannes Film Festival, you’d no doubt encounter some of the cinema elite in the lobby.

It is not quite what you might expect heading in – the Hilton’s rooms harken back to the 80’s in a somewhat campy décor. But somehow it works. You see, everything is in pristine shape – it just is decorated from an era gone by. The service is excellent in the hotel – from the valet to check-in to housekeeping. A true 4 star hotel. It’s location is also ideal, with prime beach frontage.

Hot Tip from the Hotel Magician: Hotel parking is not inexpensive (E35 as of this writing) but forget about street parking. With two hour limits and the hotel’s prime waterfront location, you might as well valet the car and enjoy your trip.

The suites are magnificent – if you have the means, we highly recommend them. A recent stay in the Ambassador Suite was nothing short of amazing with a balcony (with a view of the water and a table and chairs for dining al fresco) and 4 rooms (work area/foyer, living room, dining room, and a bathroom the size of a New York apartment with a massive circular whirlpool in the middle).

Hot Tip from the Hotel Magician #2: The beach directly across from the hotel charges E25 + for a chaise lounger. The area directly to the left of it is about half the price. The beach is just as good ;-)

The hotel also features an (included) rooftop pool with absolutely stunning views of the Sea. There is a restaurant and bar on the roof as well and they do make the dining area available for private functions.
