Facing the Mediterranean and the Palais des Festivals, the legendary Majestic Barriere is located on La Croisette, this legendary hotel epitomizes the Cannes Film Festival and is popular with celebrities from all over the world.

A member of Leading Hotels of the World, this hotel offers a private dune beach, swimming pool, fitness and beauty center; business center, hairdresser, beauty salon, Michelin-rated restaurant, and upscale French brasserie. The 305 soundproof and air-conditioned guestrooms feature high ceilings and Louis XVI furniture; minibars, in-room safes, multi-line phones, voice mail, pay movies, and private bathrooms with marble baths and bathrobes.

Cannes makes headlines every May when it swarms with 50,000 movie stars, wannabes, film moguls, fans and reporters, all there for the prestigious Film Festival. The rest of the year it's a very livable small city with a bit of everything the Riviera has to offer. Many of the belle epoque palaces such as the Earl of Brougham's "Villa Eleanor" are still standing, though most now serve as office or apartment buildings.

In addition to some of Europe's finest hotels, the beachfront Croisette Boulevard boasts elegant shops frequented by the owners of visiting yachts. It's also the site of the Film Festival Palace, with its casino where informal dress is permitted at the slot machines.
