An Art Deco beauty, Hôtel Martinez was recently overhauled by famed French designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, who breathed a touch of modernity in the property while retaining vintage vibes and breezy marine-inspired accents. Boasting 409 spacious rooms (99 of which are suites), Martinez is just steps from the Palais des Festivals and overlooks the Bay of Cannes. It’s also home to La Palme d'Or, a recipient of two Michelin stars—the only restaurant in Cannes to receive the distinction.

Even if you don’t know Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc by name, you almost certainly know it by appearance. The hotel’s iconic saltwater swimming pool, perched on the rocks, is instantly recognizable and has appeared everywhere from Slim Aarons photographs to Vogue magazine shoots. The rooms are predictably plush, with classic Louis XV furniture, chinoiserie draperies, and gilded mirrors. In May 2021, the hotel will add a new private villa, accommodating up to 12 guests.
