Best places to stay:
You’ll struggle to bag a room at this icing-white Art Deco hotel on Cannes’ La Croisette during the city’s film festival – but its movie-star buzz lingers long after the stars depart.
The hotel’s La Plage beach club, set on white sands, is one of the Cote d’Azur’s swankiest places to see and be seen; meanwhile, Its fabled restaurant La Palme d’Or has two Michelin stars.
There’s superb service throughout, too – your wish is the staff’s command – so for a touch of Cannes glamour, it’s hard to beat.
