Luxury Travel Advisor - January 2008 - (Page 29) on the French Riviera, and in the very heart of the Croisette, one of the most famous promenades in the world. The Carlton is only half a mile from the Palais des Festivals, site of the annual film festival. Among the hotel’s amenities is a private beach with seasonal water sports, like sailing, jet skiing and parasailing. Eateries include the Carlton Brasserie, which is considered one of the best restaurants in Cannes. The lobster and champagne dinner on Fridays is a must—one of the culinary highlights of our trip. Advance reservations are strongly recommended. Additional restaurants include La Terrasse, the Bar des Célébrités—it features views out onto La Croisette—La Petit Bar Café and Bar 49. The Bar des Célébrités is the Carlton’s main bar, with a direct view of the Croisette and the Mediterranean Sea. Luxury travel advisors: Book one of the new seventh-floor suites; they are the largest of the hotel’s 36 suites and offer amazing views of the Mediterranean. All offer Jacuzzi baths, large terraces overlooking the water, DVD players and plasma TVs. The Iroko wooden floors, silky fabric coverings, detailed ceiling and wall moldings and cream-and-beige color scheme were created to remind guests of the glamour of the 1950s French Riviera. All suites are bookable over the GDS. Each suite pays tribute to a Hollywood giant and thus bears a celebrity name: Sean Connery, Elton John, Uma Thurman, Sofia Loren, Alain Delon and Sophie Marceau. Tip: The Sean Connery Suite is the largest, most exclusive and offers private butler service.
