Location

Located in the heart of Cannes, the Five Seas Hotel is just a stone’s throw away from the well-known Boulevard de la Croisette. The glimmering La Croisette gives visitors the chance to shop at some of the most grandiose brands in the world, like Coco Chanel, Roberto Cavali, and Dior. Just two minutes away from the hotel is Palais des Festivals, the magnificent property that houses the annual Cannes Film Festival. Take a 5-minute walk and you’ll reach the Gare de Cannes train station.

Style and Character

This 45-rooms boutique hotel boasts a modern yet luxurious design that blends perfectly with the opulent area. Known as Cannes’ best-kept secret, the Five Seas Hotel is the perfect spot for those who want to relax away from the public gaze. The entrance has hidden sliding doors and once guests enter the hotel, they find themselves in a bright-colored and fancy lobby where an attentive butler always awaits.

The spacious rooms with a cozy atmosphere combine style with modern comfort. Guests can retain their privacy thanks to the dove-colored blinds and shutters. Stunning views over Cannes’ beautiful rooftops and floor-to-ceiling windows evoke a feeling of escape and serenity.

Services and Facilities

The beautiful Cinq Mondes & Carita Spa is the ultimate spot for relaxation. This 250 m² spa boasts four treatment rooms, a sauna, hammam, relaxation room, and a high-tech gym. Treat yourself with a high-precision facial treatment, Balinese massage, or a Polynesian massage.

At the hotel’s top floor, guests can enjoy the infinity pool where light meals and cocktails are served all throughout the day. Overlooking the city rooftops, the pool-terrace is one of the liveliest spots in town where afterparties are regularly thrown. A romantic dinner or breakfast at the pool-terrace is also an option.

If you’re up for sunbathing in a relaxing atmosphere, head over to the hotel’s private beach – the Plage du Festivals. The setting at the beach was recently refurbished by the architect Jean Michelle Wilmotte and now boasts elegant and comfortable sun loungers, white umbrellas, and parasols.

Rooms

Classy and contemporary, all 45 rooms and suites at Five Seas Hotel resemble French elegance. The rooms are generously-sized and some of them feature gorgeous high ceilings. With tailor-made lighting, original artworks, and king-size beds with huge canopies, the rooms at the Five Seas Hotel uphold all the codes of modern comfort.

The Presidential Suite boasts three bathrooms, a jacuzzi, a large terrace, and a beautiful view of the Notre Dame de Bon Voyage. If you’re looking for a romantic hideaway, book the hotel’s secret Top of Five Suite. This opulent and vast suite boasts the best views over the glittering Cannes, which you can marvel at by using the telescope which comes with the suite. The terrace is perfect for a romantic dinner, especially when the sun sets over France’s most luxurious city.

Food and Drink

Fresh and delicious, the food at the Five Seas Hotel is served in a sophisticated setting.

At the restaurant Le Roof, guests are in the capable hands of Chef Lori Moreau who has crafted a finger food menu with Mediterranean accents. Get a taste of the falafels with green lentils or kefta skewers while you enjoy a sunset at the pool.

Le Roof is the largest rooftop in Cannes, so no wonder that at night it turns into a vibrant bar where fancy guests sway on the podium while overlooking the illuminations of the Suquet. Here the resident DJ Ness Toria entertains guests every evening from Wednesday till Saturday. Let yourself get carried away by the excellent music and don’t forget to try the hotel’s signature cocktails Spicy Moscow Mule and Five Tiki.
