The Palais des Festivals, a world-famous setting

Of course, there is the Cannes Film Festival.

Twelve days during which the entire world focuses a huge spotlight on the famous steps of La Croisette. However, the Palais des Festivals hosts the biggest international professional events all year round. And it’s been doing so for over seventy years!

Among these events are the MIPIM, which brings together real estate operators; Cannes Lions, a prestigious event in the advertising, communication and creative sector; the Cannes Yachting Festival, the leading European boat show with over 500 craft exhibited; and the MIPCOM, which attracts 12,00 professionals from the television and entertainment industry every year.

The historic location for professional meetings, the Palais des Festivals is also equipped with new, cutting-edge technologies with a brand-new studio, the Hi5 Studio. This tool offers a space measuring 120 m² and allows for hosting hybrid events with 350 seats.

A pioneering town in terms of sustainable development

Cannes adopted an environmental charter as of 2003. Cannes Town Hall deploys concrete actions for a better quality of life and to protect the environment, especially in terms of protecting the sea, guarding against major risks, supporting urban nature and local agriculture, developing renewable energies and promoting environmental civic mindedness.

Since 2009, the challenges of sustainable development have also been at the heart of the Palais des Festivals’ concerns, and it is now ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 18788 (Safety – Security) and ISO 20121 (Sustainable Events) certified.

In 2022, the Palais des Festivals also became the first conference centre with “société à mission” status [business pursuing a set social and environmental purpose with specific sustainability goals] and thus undertakes to “welcome the world sustainably” for a sustainable and responsible events activity.

The awaited reopening of exceptional luxury hotels

Cannes boasts an exceptional range of hotels with 110 establishments offering 8,000 rooms and over 140 meeting rooms.

Among the long-awaited new options for Spring 2023: the re-openings of the Carlton after two years of works, the Grand Hotel under the Mondrian brand, and the Radisson Blu, renamed Canopy by Hilton Cannes after a total renovation lasting seven months.

In addition, the Majestic Barrière, Intercontinental Carlton, Grand Hyatt Cannes Hotel Martinez and the famous Palm Beach hotels (the latter opening in 2024) are themselves investing almost 1 billion euro in modernizing their establishments and improving their service offers.
