A hotel dating from the 1920s

Opened in 1926, Le Majestic was designed in the architectural language of its decade. During the Second World War, the building was used successively as a refuge by Italians and Germans and then for wounded people. Two additional floors were added in the 1990s. The hotel’s position near the festival venues later made it one of the Cannes properties associated with visiting film stars.

Accommodation

The configuration documented in the directory entry comprises 265 rooms, 82 suites and two penthouses. Rooms were described as measuring at least 20 square metres, with a private bathroom fitted with a shower, bath or both, as well as a hairdryer. Listed room equipment included air conditioning, Wi-Fi, a flat-screen television, minibar, telephone, safe and ironing facilities.

These figures provide a useful outline of the property rather than a guarantee of its present layout. Travellers should check current room categories, equipment and availability directly before making a reservation.

Spa, dining and public areas

The account describes a 450-square-metre spa with four treatment rooms, a fitness room and a heated outdoor pool. It also records 2,000 square metres of shops, meeting rooms and a private beach about 30 metres from the hotel, where water-based activities were available.

Three restaurants and two bars are listed, including one restaurant on the private beach. As dining concepts, treatment programmes and beach access can change, their current operation should be confirmed with the property.

Location in Cannes

The listed address is 10 Boulevard de la Croisette. The railway station lies just inland, while the bay and promenade are immediately to the south. This compact setting makes the hotel straightforward to reach on foot from the station and places the central seafront close at hand.
