Location
Hôtel Martinez commands a prime position on the Boulevard de la Croisette, Cannes’ legendary seafront promenade. The hotel is steps from the Palais des Festivals (home of the Cannes Film Festival), luxury boutiques, and the Mediterranean Sea. The old town of Le Suquet is a pleasant 15-minute walk west, and Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) is approximately 30 minutes by car or 50 minutes via the scenic coastal train.

The Property
Built in the Roaring Twenties, Hôtel Martinez is a landmark Art Deco palace that has hosted film stars, royalty, and heads of state for nearly a century. The facade is instantly recognizable — the elegant cream-colored building stretches along the Croisette with its signature awnings and Mediterranean gardens. Inside, the public spaces blend original Art Deco elements with contemporary luxury — geometric patterns, gilded details, and soaring ceilings. The hotel features a private beach and beach club, an outdoor pool, a Givenchy spa, and 410 rooms and suites. As part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt, it is one of the most aspirational properties bookable with World of Hyatt points.
Check-In
Check-in takes place in the grand lobby and is conducted with French five-star formality — warm but polished. Globalist members receive recognition and upgrades when available, though during the Cannes Film Festival and peak summer months, availability is extremely tight. The concierge team is exceptionally knowledgeable about the Riviera and can arrange everything from restaurant reservations to yacht charters.
Prestige Room Sea View
The Prestige Room Sea View is generously proportioned at approximately 350 square feet with a distinctly Riviera aesthetic — soft blues, creamy whites, and Art Deco-inspired furnishings that nod to the hotel’s heritage without feeling dated. The king bed is dressed in fine linens, and the room includes a sitting area, writing desk, and French doors that open to a balcony overlooking the Croisette and the Mediterranean. Waking up to the sound of the sea and the sight of the blue water from your balcony is a quintessential Cannes experience.
Bathroom
The bathroom is elegant with marble finishes, a deep soaking tub, separate walk-in shower, dual vanities, and Givenchy bath amenities. The attention to detail is impeccable — heated floors, a magnifying mirror, and plush robes and slippers. It is a bathroom befitting a palace hotel on the French Riviera.
Views
The sea-view rooms face south toward the Mediterranean, with the Croisette promenade and the hotel’s private beach in the foreground. On clear days, the Esterel mountains are visible to the west, glowing red at sunset. These views are what dreams of the French Riviera are made of.
Restaurants & Bars
La Palme d’Or
The hotel’s two-Michelin-starred restaurant is one of the finest dining experiences on the Côte d’Azur. The cuisine is refined French Mediterranean with an emphasis on local ingredients — Provençal vegetables, Mediterranean seafood, and creative presentations. The dining room overlooks the sea and the private beach. Reservations are essential, and the experience is worth every euro.
Le Jardin du Martinez (Breakfast)
Breakfast is served in the lush garden courtyard — an enchanting setting surrounded by Mediterranean plants and dappled sunlight. The buffet features French pastries, local cheeses, charcuterie, fresh-squeezed juices, and cooked-to-order eggs. It is one of the most beautiful breakfast settings on the Riviera.
Zplage
The hotel’s private beach restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine and rosé with your toes in the sand on the Croisette. The setting is pure Cannes glamour — blue umbrellas, the Mediterranean lapping at the shore, and beautiful people in every direction.
Bottom Line
Hôtel Martinez is the French Riviera fantasy brought to life — Art Deco grandeur, a private Croisette beach, world-class dining, and a location that puts you at the center of Cannes’ legendary glamour. The rooms are beautiful, the service is polished, and the overall experience feels genuinely special. It is the kind of hotel that makes an ordinary trip feel extraordinary. The fact that it is bookable with Hyatt points makes it one of the most aspirational redemptions in the entire World of Hyatt portfolio.

Cash rates at Hôtel Martinez range from €300-€600/night in shoulder season to €800-€2,000+ during the Cannes Film Festival and peak summer. As a Category 7 Hyatt property, standard award nights cost 25,000-35,000 points. At a shoulder-season cash rate of €400 ($435 USD), a 30,000-point redemption yields approximately 1.45 cents per point. During peak season when rates exceed €800, the value skyrockets above 2.5cpp — making this one of the most valuable Hyatt redemptions in the world. If you have been hoarding Hyatt points, this is the hotel they were made for. Book Hôtel Martinez, Cannes through Scott & Thomas
