I have stayed in many hotels in Europe, and do not expect much from them. However, Le Cavendish was simply the best I've stayed in Europe. I was booked into this hotel because others close to my conference venue were booked. It was a good thing that I was booked here because my friends in other hotels were not too happy with their hotels. The reasons why I liked le Cavendish: - Very friendly and helpful staff - Very good breakfast - Very good evening relaxation at the lounge with free flow of drinks and light snacks - Very clean room - Very good location, which is within 5 minutes from the beach, old town and shopping area Highly recommended for anyone going to Cannes.

I loved it. Cannes itself is a fun town, wonderful restaurants and views and history, though it can be a bit of a crowded, upscale version of Miami Beach from time to time. Cavendish has a wonderful, warm and accommodating staff who spoke English well and made my group's stay comfy and magical. I was in a fab rotunda room and had the time of my life. The wraparound balcony was beyond fabulous and we enjoyed many a glass of champagne out there as we laughed. Had quite a few drinks from the evening bar, and had the best pizza ever at the nearby Mr. Pizza, which I scoffed at until I saw the lines every day and tried it on my last night. Had a little deli next door, and a small supermarket at the end of the block where my group stocked up on cheeses and olives to complement our many bottles of wine. Nearby pharmacy and strong police presence. It was really a great time, made wonderful thanks to the experience at Cavendish. We walked about 10 (maybe 15) mins to the main Le Croisette strip every day and hung out on the beach, also to the great restaurants in Old Town. Fave: the antique elevator that gave me a spooky thrill every day. I felt like I was in an old French movie.

I am a regular to the Le Cavendish, staying at the hotel two times per year over the last few years when our international festivals are held and even then always give much praise to the hotel when talking to my peers and colleagues in my industry. I have always loved the hotel and staying there. The attention to the small details have always made it such a pleasure to be there. They make their own jam ! They put gorgeous chocolate boxes as a welcome treat ! They have a kind of 1940's lift in the centre of he hotel that is old and beautiful and quaint. It only takes 3 people and is made like a cage so you can see in. This last time I extended my stay by an extra two nights as my husband joined me in Cannes and we were celebrating our first anniversary. This time seemed extra special not because of our celebration but the staff just seem to always go out of their way and deserve great praise. As it is a boutique hotel you remember people and names as you go there once or twice but what is remarkable is that although they deal with hundreds or thousands of people each year they always seem to remember the regulars. The beautiful and wonderful assistant manager Ingrid sent up a gorgeous orchid stem that put the biggest smile on my face. Raof ALWAYS goes out of his way to help me or make sure things are right. Darling Mary is always so kind and considerate. Siam moved us to one of the rotunda suites for the two extra nights of our stay which was terrific and really made our stay even better. There are a few more great people their and sorry I am not mentioning everyone. Anyway, hope you take my recommendation and enjoy your stay in the lovely city of Cannes.

We visited le Cavendish in July 2007. The hotel was excellent in many ways. We had booked the Rotunda room which is their best type of room. It was very clean, beautifully decorated and with an efficient airconditioning and soundproofing. The only small problem was the noise on the outside huge terrasse from the nearby mainroad. But no problems inside. The staff was very friendly and keen to help and in perfect English. The nightshift receptionist was second to none in quality. The breakfast and the complimentary bar in the afternoon was better than most other, more expensive hotels. Unfortunately our car was vandalized while in valet parking at a public garage nearby. The hotel has no insurance to cover the damages, but the management, Mrs. Welter, offered to cover half the costs of repair as a commercial deal. That is excellent service! We will definitely come back to le Cavendish when in Cannes.

¡Sin duda no se trata de un establecimiento de 4 estrellas! No sé a quién sobornaron para conseguirlas. Desde el nauseabundo olor de las velas que hay encendidas en la planta baja hasta el snob del personal que es evidente que odia a los americanos, este no es el sitio donde te debes alojar en Cannes. Especialmente teniendo en cuenta la cantidad de opciones maravillosas que hay por todos lados, como el hotel Renoir justo a la vuelta de la esquina. Las habitaciones son pequeñas y tienen pocos muebles, las camas están bien, no tienen la CNN en la televisión y aunque el ascensor tiene encanto, apenas funciona. La única cosa buena que tiene el hotel es la happy hour gratuita que ofrece, pero no tenían champán, ¡y el olor de las velas es horrible! ¡No me volvería alojar aquí!
