Character and identity
The Martinez is the Art Deco grande dame of La Croisette, a 409-room palace hotel that has anchored the centre of Cannes since 1929 and still draws the film festival's biggest names each May. Pierre-Yves Rochon's renovation works a palette of pale blue, white and gold across rooms that face either the Mediterranean or the newly manicured gardens. Jean Imbert oversees the kitchens, with chef Christian Sinicropi's two-Michelin-star La Palme d'Or as the headline act, supported by Le Sud, Le Jardin and the Plage du Martinez beach club. The 2022 Carita spa and adults-only L'Oasis pool round out a service register that is polished and formal without tipping into stuffiness.
Who's it for
Best for:
Couples and design-literate travellers who want to be at the symbolic centre of the Riviera, cinephiles drawn to the festival mythology, and serious food and wine guests who will make the most of La Palme d'Or, the 22-gin bar and long rosé lunches on the sand. Wellness-minded guests will appreciate the quiet new spa and lap pool.
Should look elsewhere:
Families with young children, who will find L'Oasis off-limits and the overall mood adult and formal. Anyone seeking seclusion or a real Mediterranean swim should skip it: La Croisette is busy and glitzy, and the pool is a lane for lengths, not lounging.
Bottom line
What you're paying for here is position and pedigree: the most central address on La Croisette, an Art Deco palace that doubles as the festival's unofficial clubhouse, and a kitchen brigade with genuine Michelin credentials. Book a sea-facing suite with a balcony for the views that justify the rate, and aim for shoulder season in June or September to dodge festival pricing and crowds.
