CANNES HOTELS

Hotel Martinez

Every May, directors, producers, critics, and actors vie for rooms at Hotel Martinez, the premier address in Cannes, France. The Art Deco-styled hotel overlooks the Bay of Cannes a few blocks from Palais Festivals et des Congres, host of the city's annual film festival. In the first-floor Suite de Oliviers, a 2,SOO-square-foot terrace affords views of the sea, the palm-lined boulevard La Croi­sette, and the Martinez's private beach. The hotel's Michelin-two-star La Palme d'Or serves modern Mediterranean cuisine in a dining room decorated with black-and­white photographs chronicling the S8-year­old festival.
