With its twin domes rising over the Croisette, the Carlton is the very image of Cannes. A Belle Époque icon since 1911 and the great hotel of the Film Festival, it deserves an arrival to match. Here is what to know about transfers to the Carlton Cannes.

The icon of the Croisette

Opened in 1911, the Carlton has presided over the Croisette for more than a century, its twin domes among the most photographed sights in Cannes. Recently and lavishly restored, it keeps its private beach and its place at the heart of the Film Festival each May.

To arrive at the Carlton is to arrive at the centre of Cannes itself.

From Nice Airport to the door

Cannes is around 30 minutes from Nice Airport by road on a clear run. A private chauffeur meets your flight and brings you along to the Croisette entrance, from around €150 in an E-Class or €180 in a V-Class, with larger and more formal vehicles on request.

During the Film Festival, when the Croisette is closed and crowded, a driver who knows the diversions is invaluable.
