JW Marriott Cannes

My second trip to Cannes I was able to stay at the JW Marriott, this was my first time with them and I was not sure what to expect. I was more than pleasantly surprised by my entire experience. The check in was smooth and professional, the interior design is very unique and fitting with the glamour of Cannes with pictures of various iconic screen legends on the hallways on every floor and even on the rooftop where there is nice pool. The corner suite was one of the best rooms I have ever head, the balcony with the view of the Bay of Cannes and Promenade de la Croisette was a great place to just sit and enjoy the view while having room service or watching life go by down below. The bathtub is situated in front of the window so you can also enjoy the sea view while having a nice bubble bath. The bed was super comfortable and had a huge picture of the beautiful Gina Lollobrigida above. The breakfast was wonderful with perfectly made eggs Benedict and an exotic fruit salad. After this experience I definitely look forward to staying at other JW Marriott properties.

Great location, but the hotel is outdated and not a «5-​star» hotel anymore. I would call it 3.5, and maybe 4 since hotel staff was great.
The good: Nice and helpful staff. Beautiful views from the rooms and rooftop deck. Close to great restaurants and bars.
The not so good: The gym was tiny, and the 1 treadmill was broken the whole time and there was only one set of free weights? Even the water cooler in the gym was broken; not good given how hard it is to find stores to buy water in Cannes and the hotel does not provide any to guests (a huge pet peeve), not ok to charge 8 – 10 euros for a small bottle of water! Drinks in the hotel lobby were ~20 euros. The rooftop pool was also small with no amenities, one of the spas was also broken.

First off it was crazy expensive. The location us perfect and it’s a real nice hotel. Rooms aren’t too small. The gym had little offer and they ran out if loaner umbrellas on rainy days. From here I was able to walk everywhere. It was clean and cozy. Street noise was loud enough to wake me up at night and they never gave us enough face clothes, but that’s me being picky. The shower is weird and not a great experience but that seems to be the story in France and Italy.

Fantastic hotel, at one of the best locations in Cannes.
The reception was extremely helpful and friendly.
The room (suite) was very large, with a very nice bathroom.
The rooftop had a small pool and comfortable sun beds.
As everything in Cannes, it’s not cheap, but food and drinks are always good.
One downside of this hotel: the service at the terrace is extremely bad; you might not get any service at all. Several times I had to get someone’s attention and it still would take for ever. On the final night there were six waiters standing around the bar, the terrace was occupied by 10 guests and after 10 minutes still no service. Left without having a drink, very disappointing.

Aww, I love this Marriott. Always something happening during the festival, with a lovely bar and ambiance.

Great hotel in the middle of the main drag of Cannes. Check in was a breeze even when arriving a little early. The lobby is beautiful and the décor is fun with celebrity celebrity shots from the film festival red carpet.
Our room was nice with plenty of amentities and had a view of the water. There was a huge shot of Uma Thurman above the bed which was fun!
We stayed here one night during a trip by train from Barcelona to venice.
Shopping, food and sights are all very close by foot and we took advantage of all.
There is a rooftop terrace and pool that looked nice, we were not able to utilize as they were taking down a tent from the film fest that just finished. Which they did so by crane from the street below — an attraction to watch in itself!

The stay itself was wonderful! The first Front Desk associate we had — Margaux Brunie– was perfect. We had taken an overnight train from Paris to Cannes and checked in before most people had checked out. I did not expect to have a room ready, but Margaux did everything she could to expedite the process. She sat us down for a leisurely and delicious breakfast and by the time we were finished, there was a room ready. Her overall demeanor and customer service skills were impeccable.
The room was gorgeous and the balcony overlooking the sea made us feel completely immersed in the South of France. I can’t say enough about the location of the hotel; it exceed all expectations. The bed was amazingly comfortable and the bathroom was spacious and elegant.
Because we were in Cannes the week before the film festival, there was no lounge or pool access. At first, the concierge told us we would get vouchers for beach chairs across the road, but when we inquired we were told that wasn’t the case. Stuck in Cannes with no pool or beach? Not ideal. The next day we were given vouchers, but there should be a consistent policy across all members of staff.
The daily breakfast buffet was superb. Fruits, yogurt, breads, pastries, meats, cheeses, and hot items with coffee, fresh-​squeezed juice, regular or sparkling water made for an ideal start to the day. Staff members in the dining room were courteous and professional.
I would not hesitate to stay at the JW Marriott in Cannes the next time I’m in town. Thank you for your hospitality!

This review is solely for the property, not the service!
Cannes ~ the jewel of French Riviera. So beautiful with all that glitz and glam. And September is probably their busiest time since all the Europeans go on vacation around that time. Needless to say: most hotel in Cannes was packed and sold out.
The hotel: it is right on that busy /​happening street of Boulevard de La Croisette! I can think of a lot of things to do for € 350 a night but I was feeling adventurous after Paris. Book this on my 5 hours train ride from Paris. Naturally, you’re going to pay extra for that last minute factor! And peeps I travel with wont budge for lower than a 4 stars hotel. Gotta make everyone happy.
I liked the pretty hotel rooms. All black and white with movie star posters. Food and service is a ok. Friendly-​ish and efficient-​ish. It’s not the best hotel I’ve stayed in Cannes but it’s also not the worst. At night. this place gets mad crazy with whats that club across on the beach. But you can easily stay in or walk else where and avoid it. Over all, a ok stay. I’d like my rooms a little bit bigger but this is Cannes. Can’t be choosy!

We had a 2-​day business meeting for 25 senior managers, and moved it to Cannes JW Marriott with 6 weeks notice.
Excellent accommodation for the business meeting. All was set up as promised (PC, display screen, room, flipcharts), and the hotel flexibly made some last minute adjustments after we inspected the set-​up on the day before the meeting.
Meals and break refreshments were provided on time and of decent quality, and the hotel was flexible to late starts on the breaks on the occasions when we ran late.
Hotel guest rooms were fine, with black and white photos of movie stars.
We had one dinner at the outdoor patio of the hotel. Food and service was fine.
Hotel location is across the boulevard from the waterfront, within easy walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the train station.

Bizarre
Bizarre, c’est la sensation que j’ai eu pendant mon séjour au Noga. Trop moderne pour mon goût, service parfois limite. Par contre les chambres sont grandes et spacieuses. Testez vous-​même !

Love Noga Hilton: no way !
J’ai essayé le club du Noga Hiton qui s’appelle le Love. On m’avait dit que c’était le club le plus trendy de Cannes. Quelle déception ! Nous avions réservé et malgré cela, nous avons dû payer l’entrée et échanger nos tickets contre une partie du prix des bouteilles; on né prend pas les cartes de crédit. Je n’avais vu cela que dans les clubs les plus ringards des provinces reculées. Cela signifie en fait que leur clientèle n’est composée que de frimeurs «crevards» qui né consomment rien à l’intérieur, ou de gens qui font des réservations pour être sûrs de rentrer et qui tentent de s’enfuir une fois rentrés dans le club. En principe, dans un club digne de ce nom, l’hôtesse vous place et vous présente votre serveur. Ici, l’hôtesse, qui à part avoir l’impression (ridicule) d’être un top model, fait vraiment preuve d’amateurisme. Il n’y a pas de carte des alcools, le serveur vous débite ce dont il se rappelle c’est-à-dire pas grand chose. On se rabat sur une valeur sûre à regret. Puis il vous ramèné les bouteilles, né les ouvrent pas, né vous sert donc pas un premier verre: vous vous débrouillez. La fille des toilettes se place devant vous en vous disant: c’est 2 euros les toilettes ! C’est normal de laisser un pourboire à la dame pipi, mais ce n’est pas correct qu’elle vous le réclame avant que vous n’ayez fini de vous laver les mains; les seules à faire cela sont les dames pipi des gares. Le DJ est oubliable, le club mal conçu, on né peut pas dire qu’il y ait de l’ambiance. Bref, si cela est le meilleur club de Cannes: ça fait peur ! Dans ce cas là, je né vous conseille qu’une chose: prenez votre voiture et allez à Saint Tropez !

Le plus moderne des palaces de la Croisette
Cet hôtel mondialement reconnu fut l’hôte du Festival de Cannes avant la construction du Palais des Festivals. Comparé aux autres palaces de la croisette, son architecture est plus récente et n’a donc pas le même charme. Cependant, il a tous les services d’un vrai palace avec la qualité Hilton. Les chambres sont spacieuses, mais la décoration dans certains couloirs est vraiment vétuste. En soirée, il y a toujours du jazz au bar avec sa terrasse donnant sur la croisette. C’est vraiment une bonne expérience à tenter si vous avez l’occasion (ou les moyens).
