3 reasons to discover the Mondrian hotel in Cannes
Ideally located on the legendary Croisette, a brisk walk from the Palais des Festivals, the Mondrian Cannes is a charming hotel with sea-view rooms, a private beach and a refined Asian-inspired restaurant. In just a few years, the institution has even become one of the most sought-after spots for visitors attending the Cannes Film Festival.

The Mondrian in Cannes, a hotel close to the art world
Its name, which obviously reminds us of the Dutch pioneer of abstraction, already hinted at it… Beyond its refined interiors, from the rooms to the lobby, the Mondrian Cannes maintains a close relationship with the art world. The hotel has an exclusive partnership with La Malmaison, an international contemporary art centre located on the legendary Croisette. Guests who book a few days at the hotel can benefit from free tickets to access the art venue.
The Mondrian Cannes also houses an impressive art collection of its own, which lends the property considerable charm. Along the corridors, guests may encounter works by Banksy, Roy Lichtenstein, César, Douglas Kirkland and Mario Dal Fabbro. Last November, the hotel presented its first Art Week, with travel as the main focus, in collaboration with the association République des Arts. On that occasion, the building was turned into a true art gallery.
An idyllic private beach
What would Cannes be without its private beaches? On the long stretch of fine sand running alongside the Croisette, Hyde Beach Cannes, property of the Mondrian hotel, delights visitors with its sweeping views, comfortable turquoise sunbeds and off-white parasols. It is a peaceful spot during the day to enjoy the exceptional Italian cuisine with a refined selection of antipasti, seafood, salads, pasta… Yet, it takes on a far more festive atmosphere in May during the Cannes Film Festival. At that time of the year, the place is operating under the banner of Campari. For those who prefer a more bucolic setting, the Mondrian also offers lush gardens and a terrace.
Refined cuisine
Even if you are not staying at the Mondrian, the restaurant Mr. Nakamoto, located within the city’s smallest and tallest hotel, is well worth a visit when you’re in Cannes for a weekend or for the Festival. Helmed by chef Pierrick Cizeron, a former graduate of the Institut Paul Bocuse, the venue is renowned for its Asian-inspired cuisine, including Thai, Korean, Vietnamese and Japanese influences, and its clever focus on local ingredients. The sushi is particularly tasty, and so are the Sando club, the duck confit bao and the spinach ramen. The highlight? An elegant signature cocktail bar.
