← Where to stay in Cannes

In short

Rue d'Antibes runs parallel to the seafront and is the main shopping and dining street of central Cannes. Staying here puts you in the busiest, most convenient part of town, ideal for shoppers, food lovers and anyone who wants to walk everywhere.

The street and the grid of lanes around it are packed with boutiques, cafés and restaurants, one block back from La Croisette. It is flat and fully walkable, lively during shopping hours and buzzing with diners in the evening.

Getting around

You are a short walk from both La Croisette and the seafront and close to the train station for regional trains along the coast. Côte d'Azur (NCE) is about 30 minutes by car or airport bus, or via the nearby train station.
