To the avid film enthusiast, the glamorous city of Cannes, France is the place to be when you want to see some of the most critically acclaimed films the world has to offer. Every month of May, the city becomes alive with excitement and anticipation as the Cannes Film Festival gets ready to screen the year’s best entries and to pick who will win the much-coveted grand prize: the Palme d’Or.
This year, from 12 to 23 May, the festival will once again present movie lovers and critics with more than a week’s worth of artistic endeavors in the realm of film. Slated to be held at the Palais des Festivales, the festival’s home, this significant event promises to attract some of the world’s biggest celebrities as well, which is sure to be a bonus treat for fans in attendance.
An ideal place to stay during the festival would be Claremont Hotel Cannes along Rue Du 24 Août. Just five minutes’ walking distance from the event venue itself, the hotel makes for a convenient base for guests in town for the film festival. Aside from its strategic location, the hotel is also close to other key places of interest, including Old Town, which features narrow, winding streets that lead to ruins of a castle overlooking Cannes, Croisette, which is a long boulevard that parallels the shores of Cannes, Îles de Lérins, Ste Honorat, and Ste Marguerite beach islands, the Cannes Train Station, and Monoprix supermarket.
This Cannes hotel boasts of cosy, affordable accommodations that make it appealing to travelers on a budget. Its 21 non-smoking guestrooms feature modest furnishings that include a telephone and Internet connectivity, and can accommodate single guests, couples, or big groups.
Guests’ basic concerns are also covered by the hotel staff, offering laundry service and wake-up calls. Breakfast is served for a minimal fee, while airport transfers and transport to other towns along the Riviera can be arranged. Reception is open all day, ready to welcome guests at any time.
