Hôtel Martinez Cannes Transfer
Private chauffeur transfers to the Hôtel Martinez on the Croisette in Cannes — from Nice Airport to the Art Deco palace in 30 minutes.
The Hôtel Martinez is the grand Art Deco statement of the Croisette — the largest palace hotel in Cannes, opened in 1929, and home to the Michelin-starred La Palme d'Or. Arriving in keeping with it means a private chauffeur to the door. Here is what to know about transfers to the Martinez.
Art Deco on the Croisette
Opened in 1929, the Martinez is the great Art Deco landmark of Cannes and its largest palace hotel, with a celebrated private beach and the Michelin-starred La Palme d'Or restaurant. Like its neighbours, it fills for the Film Festival each May.
Its scale and style make it one of the defining addresses of the Croisette.
