Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel

1 / 10

The takeaway

A historic Croisette landmark recast with a private beach club and garden-side pool, best suited to travelers who want Cannes’ Riviera scene at their doorstep.

About the hotel

On Cannes’ Mediterranean waterfront, Carlton Cannes occupies the Croisette in a landmark Belle Époque building whose original neoclassical façade was retained through a two-year renovation and extension. Opened in 1913 and reopened on March 13, 2023, it pairs its historic architecture with a newly enclosed interior garden, infinity pool, spa and private beach club across the boulevard. The substantial room-and-suite inventory and 37 residences give the property a scale closer to a grand resort than a small Cannes boutique hotel.

Choose it if

You want a landmark Belle Époque address on the Croisette, with the Mediterranean and Cannes’ seafront promenade as the setting.
You’ll make use of the hotel’s private beach club, garden-side infinity pool, or on-site restaurants and bars.
You’re traveling with family and want connecting rooms or residences, with children’s menus and family-oriented programming.

Skip it if

You want a secluded, inland or nature-led base; this is a seafront hotel on Cannes’ central Croisette.

The Maybourne Riviera

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France

Beach65 roomsSea Views

Set on a rocky peninsula above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, The Maybourne Riviera looks across the Mediterranean toward Monaco. Its 65 suites and studios each have a private balcony and sea views, while the hotel’s modernist architecture follows the cliffside. The experience centers on that elevated coastal outlook, with a seasonal private beach club below and Surrenne Riviera’s wellness facilities on site. The village and surrounding Côte d’Azur coastline offer a quieter base than staying in Monaco itself.

Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo

Monaco, Monaco

CityHistoric

On Monaco’s Place du Casino, Hôtel de Paris Monte-Carlo puts guests in the middle of the principality’s grand public stage: the casino square, its event calendar and a steady sweep of city life. The Belle Époque palace dates to 1864 and now has 206 rooms, including suites; its restaurant roster includes Le Louis XV–Alain Ducasse and Le Grill, while historic wine cellars add a distinctive layer to the stay. The appeal is as much the address and its spectacle as the hotel itself.

The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour, Miami

Bal Harbour, United States

BeachCoastal

On Bal Harbour’s northern tip, this waterfront resort occupies a site between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. Its defining draw is a low-key coastal setting rather than Miami’s busier beachfront districts. The property is undergoing a transformation and plans to welcome guests again starting in January 2027. The hotel says the next chapter will bring redesigned guest rooms and suites, a chef-led signature restaurant, a members club, and an elevated spa and wellness offering.

Set above Gustavia, Fouquet’s Saint-Barth looks across the harbor and Caribbean toward Shell Beach, with the town below and the shoreline nearby. The suite-led property also includes Villa Diane, a five-bedroom private villa; suite accommodations have terraces and/or private pools. Beefbar sits within the hotel, while its hillside position makes the defining outlook as much about Gustavia’s harbor and rooftops as the open sea.
