HOTEL AMIRAUTE, Cannes

The hotel occupies a prime position in central Cannes, within the lively 'Golden Square' district. Cannes train station is across the street, providing direct rail connections along the Côte d'Azur. A bus stop serving airport routes is also immediately outside. The Palais des Festivals and the Croisette promenade are both reachable in a five-minute walk, and the closest sandy beach is just four minutes away on foot. Guests can easily walk to the old town of Le Suquet for views of the bay. Numerous restaurants, luxury boutiques, and the main shopping street are all within a few blocks. For those arriving by car, public parking is available at the train station 200 metres away with a negotiated hotel rate.

Rooms are decorated in a contemporary pop-art style and are equipped with triple-glazed windows for noise insulation. Each room includes a private bathroom with hairdryer, a safe, ironing equipment, and an electric kettle with tea and coffee facilities. Standard rooms are compact, while superior rooms offer more space, city views, and some feature a balcony with table and chairs. Single rooms are available and are efficient for solo travellers. The property also has rooms with a private entrance and soundproof walls. Floor-plan variety exists, so room size and orientation may differ; some rooms overlook the inner courtyard for quieter stays, while street-facing rooms offer city views. The hotel does not have rooms with two separate twin beds of standard width - the twin option splits a full-size bed into two narrow singles.

The breakfast buffet includes pastries, bread, eggs, yogurts, fresh fruits, cakes, and hot drinks. The cost is €8 per person if booked at the hotel. There is no hot food option such as eggs, bacon, or sausages - only a cold continental selection. Breakfast can be delivered to the room at no extra charge.
