Cannes Film Festival Accommodation Guide

The Cannes Film Festival will be held this year on May 13^th - May 24^th, it is one of the most important film festivals in the world and brings many to France. Celebrities from all walks can be found visiting France for the occasion. If you are not a celebrity, do not be afraid to act like one by visiting France at this time of the year. There are fabulous places to stay and I am going to share my favorites with you.

First is the ability to rent apartments or villas in France through New York Habitat. They offer furnished accommodations and a four bedroom apartment can run you approximately 105 Euros for the week right on the French Riviera. It includes access to pools and gardens. For details and availability, visit http://www.nyhabitat.com/south-france-apartment.html.

If a full furnished apartment rental is not your cup of tea, then consider the four star Carlton Cannes. I must say that you have to get a head start to get accommodations during the festival, but if you do, what an establishment. A classic room will run you around 213 Euro per night. So be prepared to pay and you will most certainly be pampered.

If you are not looking for all of the pampering, then you may want to consider the Suitehotel Cannes Center. It is a three star hotel and is certainly close enough to catch all of the festival action. In fact you can stop in at the local 4 star hotels during the festival and are sure to catch a celebrity or two. Some of the wonderful services included with your stay are a car loan program and a camera loan program as well. Certainly the fine details are taken care of so all you have to do is relax and enjoy the Cannes Festival frenzy.

If you would like to take the route of local luxury then consider a stay at the Majestic Barriere. It is a four star hotel like the Carlton but it is done with true local charm. It is an amazing hotel in a great location as it is directly across from the beach and the Cannes festival site. It is certainly worth every Euro. I encourage you to visit this hotel.
