Cannes Film Festival returns to the French Riviera from 13-24 May 2025, Situated on Boulevard de la Croisette, just a short distance from the Palais des Festivals, Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel is steeped in cinematic history. The hotel hosted the very first ‘International Film Festival’ back in 1946, forging an enduring bond with what is now known as the Cannes Film Festival. For almost 80 years since, the Carlton has paved the way in luxury guest experience with its storied rooms and suites.
Among these are several signature suites inspired by cinematic royalty – Grace Kelly, Cary Grant, and Alfred Hitchcock –eponymously named in homage to the hotel’s starring role as the location for Hitchcock’s 1954 picture To Catch a Thief.
According to legend, it was during the filming at the Carlton that Grace Kelly met Prince Rainier III of Monaco, whom she would marry in 1956.
On Tuesday 13 May, the Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel hosted one of the first events of the two-week festival with the IHG Hotels & Resorts x Vanity Fair ‘Le Déjeuner D’Ouverture De Cannes’, set to be attended by rising stars and celebrated talent alike.
