HOTEL MARTINEZ
History & Story
One of two grande-dame properties that preside over the glamorous Croisette in Cannes (the seaside resort’s iconic boardwalk), Hôtel Martinez exudes timeless elegance and luxury. The palm-tree-lined La Croisette boulevard is home to private beaches, designer shops, and the glamorous Cannes Film Festival held here every May. It’s also the ideal setting for the iconic Hôtel Martinez. A luxurious waterfront property and a symbol of French Riviera elegance since the 1930s, it features 410 keys with spacious, bright, and polished rooms and suites in Art Deco style, many offering breathtaking sea views. Part of The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, an exclusive brand of historic landmarks, authentic Maisons, and modern urban gems, the hotel draws inspiration from the azure waters backing onto the promenade. Inside, you’ll find nautical-inspired interiors that are fresh, bright, and breezy, with blue and white beachside tones juxtaposed with high ceilings and ornate chandeliers, echoing classic Riviera glamour. This coastal-chic and Art Deco theme extends to the spacious rooms, including many with sea or oasis views, and a selection of garden suites benefitting from expansive terraces. Savor a moment of pampered well-being at L’Oasis Spa du Martinez, a lush garden retreat on the city side. After a dip in the pool and a refreshing fruit juice, relax in the expert hands of Carita professionals for a personalized spa treatment. Admire the view from the trendy new beach club, La Plage du Martinez, comfortably seated in our director’s chairs designed by Rémi Tessier. To share delicious moments, gather at Le Sud restaurant and its garden terrace overlooking the famous Croisette. At the new Martinez Bar, enjoy one of our signature cocktails inspired by the 1930s, or sip on exceptional vintages in a refined, retro vinyl-record-bar atmosphere. Finally, the Michelin-starred restaurant La Palme d’Or invites guests on an unforgettable gastronomic journey, showcasing exceptional seafood through a sophisticated and modern interpretation of French cuisine. Events also take center stage here, with 12 modular meeting rooms, including the grand ballroom Le Festival, equipped with 360° mapping technology, the ideal venue for conventions, seminars, and private events year-round.
