In 2023 one of the world’s greatest seaside hotels reemerged from a years long, intensive renovation. The Carlton has been a destination for celebrity and royalty since 1911 and has already welcomed such luminaries as Brie Larson and Fan Bingbing. Guestrooms are conspicuously elegant. But what raises the Carlton's game are huge gardens, hip bars, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and public spaces scattered with art and objets d'art. With an array of restaurants including Turkish-inspired Rüya, and South of France stunner Riviera, guests would be forgiven for never leaving the most photographed accommodation in Cannes. The Carlton Beach Club is the final Croisette showpiece from this grand dame hotel. In a word: spectacular.
