Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity

Cannes Lions brings the global advertising, marketing, media and creative industries together for awards, talks, meetings and brand activity. The official programme is centred on the Palais des Festivals, but the festival experience stretches along La Croisette through hotel terraces, beaches, temporary venues and partner events.

A practical base for a busy festival

Schedules can combine early conference sessions, client meetings and evening events in different parts of central Cannes. Staying locally lets you move on foot between the Palais, Croisette hotels and Old Port rather than depending on taxis during the busiest periods. It also gives you somewhere quiet to prepare, work or recharge between appointments.

Cannes Lions creates exceptional demand across the city. When enquiring, share the dates you need, the number of guests and whether you expect to work from the apartment. We can recommend the most suitable option and confirm current availability. Booking requests are not reservations until we respond and agree the arrangements with you.

Making the week easier

• Plan meetings geographically; walking from one end of La Croisette to the other takes time in festival crowds.
• Confirm access requirements for official and partner venues before travelling.
• Use quieter streets behind La Croisette when moving around central Cannes.
• Consider arriving before the main programme begins if you need time to set up or collect accreditation.
