2 Boulevard du Midi Jean Hibert, Cannes
+33 4 92 99 73 10
Open every day from 10AM – 11PM
The Radisson Blu terrace offers immaculate views to be enjoyed at any time of day. You can spend the entire day relaxing at this hotel, from breakfast to dinner – they have it all.

Insider tip: Cannes is part of the French region called “Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur” where lots of vineyards are from due to the Mediterranean weather. Therefore, it’s typical in Cannes to drink Rosé in the summer, especially with ice cubes- “des glaçons, s’il vous plaît!”

+33 6 23 73 44 43

Insider Tip: now is not the time to practice your French! If you’re trying to get into a bar or restaurant in the summer when it’s busy, you are best speaking English. Cannes is a notoriously tourist-friendly city. But don’t forget a simple “Bonjour” and “Merci” go a long way!
