Stay at Gray d'Albion for 3 nights attending Midem . 2 minutes from the Palais des Festivals and Rue d'Antibes is around the corner. Very nice and quite room. Huge bed and a nice big bathroom with bathtub.

Gray d'Albion offers both hotel rooms and service apartments. I have been staying here for many years on my official trips to Cannes. Its definitely my first choice for stay in Cannes.

The hotel is just a few minutes walk to the Palais De Festival and is between la Croisette and Rue d' Antibes. Perfect location and walkable distance to every place worth going to in Cannes.

The rooms are nice and spacious and have all amenities to make your stay comfortable. The apartments are clean, well done up and well equipped with fully equipped kitchens, washing machines, microwave etc. Some (not all) apartments even have wifi. There are studio apartments as well as one bedroom, two bedroom and even three bedroom apartments. If you are a big group, this makes perfect sense. And unlike other places, each apartment has a nice balcony. I have stayed in many other places, and not all are as open and spacious with balconies like this one.

Its also cheaper than most other options available, but it gets sold out pretty fast, especially during the various festivals at Cannes. So book in advance.

Spent 3 nights in Cannes. Made a good choice of choosing this hotel. As soon as we stepped in, we were greeted by a friendly concierge and were checked in by a pleasant woman who took us up to our room.
The room was big and had a big bed. The bathroom was high class with warm towel racks available. Proud to say we recycled our towels till the very last day.."and oh, the bathrobe provided were so comfy.
Hotel is central to most area...la croissette, palais des festivals, le sequet and the Gare. Just behind is the shopping strip Rue Antibes...where you can shop till you drop.
As it January, there was no atmosphere in the Jane's bar, which was a shame!

This hotel is located on the nice shopping avenue.
Car parking is right next to hotel. (about 27EUR/day)
Hotel lobby is decorated with Roses and fragrance of rose, but room is very calm and relaxing.
Staff are kind. When we arrived we noticed shower head is a bit broken, they called engineer to fix immidiately.

Cannes general impression was quite different than I expected.
It was very quiet and chilly in Autumn compared with Nice or Monaco.
Sundays and Mondays, many shops or restaurant are closed.
But you can find many restaurant from hotel towerd to Bus station. And also walk to the famouse beach road Croisette in 5min.
