Tucked between the Mediterranean Sea and the Southern Alps, Palais Stéphanie has reopened following the most extensive renovation of any hotel in Cannes in decades. The 38 million euro renovation has completely transformed the hotel. The hotel is located in the center of La Croisette steps from the beach, with views of the Bay of Cannes and the Lerins Islands. Palais Stéphanie sits on the original site of the Palais des Congrès, where the first Cannes Film Festivals were held until the new Palais des Festivals was inaugurated in 1983. The redesign of the hotel pays tribute to the film stars of festivals past, such as Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor.
A "Palme d'Or" sculpture acts as a focal point as guests enter the lobby, and the use of contemporary furniture, muted creams and contrasting colors define the hotel's new look. The renovation extends to the 261 rooms and suites each having been completely redone. The rooms now feature hand stitched leather accents, upholstered walls, and black and white portraits of iconic film stars. Rooms have also been upgraded with flat screen TVs and high-speed Internet access. The rooftop at Palais Stéphanie offers a heated swimming pool and Jacuzzis, with views over the Bay of Cannes, the Lerins Islands and the Esterel Mountains. Le Panorama Rooftop Bar offers a retreat for those seeking an oasis from the city. The menu serves cocktails and an organic selection of snacks and homemade pastries. A full casino offers 150 slot machines and 19 gaming tables. For more information, call 011-33 (0)4 92 99 70 00.
