Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel

The refurbishment has really stepped the hotel up. The rooms are really excellent and the public spaces were great too. The beach club is excellent. Breakfast was good though an a la carte could be improved rather than a cooked buffet. Location cannot be improved.

1 Amazing 5 star experience 2. Room was beautiful 3. Best hotel gym ever 4. Beach club was great 5. Staff brilliant

We have stayed at The Carlton many times before when it was owned by IHG. This was the first visit since it has been refurbished and re-opened by Regent. The bar was exceptional - very friendly staff and lovely cocktails (pricey, but that's what you expect at a hotel of this calibre in Cannes). Breakfast was up to its usual amazing standard, except we noted that the free champagne was no longer available! Again, the staff were brilliant. The new outdoor pool/garden was nice, but slightly underwhelming. The garden perhaps needs to get more established to be more impressive. Again, very good staff, but choose your sunbed wisely as the high buildings on all sides mean that the sun has gone off most by mid afternoon, however, nice to have a cheaper choice than the beach club (only the first hour was supposed to be free, but I was not charged for staying longer). Nice room - we were upgraded to premium, which was good - and absolutely the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! Also, very nice to see some old faces among the staff, lots of them we recognised from years ago.

it was brand new, extremely luxurious, beach front!
