Opened in 1913, the Carlton is arguably Cannes’ most famous film hotel thanks to its prominent role in To Catch a Thief starring Grace Kelly and Cary Grant.

The hotel serves as one of the industry’s unofficial headquarters, where sprawling terraces, private beach cabanas, and sea-facing suites are prime venues for meetings, parties, celebrity sightings, and high-profile industry gatherings throughout the annual festival season.
