Cannes hotel gets a major makeover

Once the largest hotel on the whole of the French Riviera, and still one of the most prestigious, the Hotel Martinez, has had 30 prestige sea view rooms added.  The 405-guestroom property is to the quieter eastern end of the main Cannes Bay facing the beach on the Boulevard de la Croisette.  The hotel’s La Palme d’Or restaurant has a Michelin 2-star rating.

Whilst designed in the hotel’s Art-Déco style the new rooms’ state-of-the-art equipment has not been forgotten.  The spacious white marble bathroom features an elegant black mosaic.

Starting in June, the 11 Penthouse Junior Suites on the hotel’s prestigious top floor will be completely redecorated.  The end of the year will see the transformation of the bar and ground floor terrace around the pool.  In total, a budget of €10m has been allocated in 2011 to carry out these works. www.hotel-martinez.com
