It is a traditional hotel for film stars attending the Cannes Festival.
The present hotel is the result of the merger of the parcels of the former hôtel Beau-Rivage and of two neighbouring villas.
The rest of the central body of the building was extended in 1928 by the architects Charles Nicod and Émile Molinié, at which date the interiors were also redecorated by Maurice Debenedetti.
2 floors were added to the top of the building in 1965 and in 1990 the façades were rebuilt uniformly in their original art deco style.
[1] Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes is located in the centre of the town of Cannes on the Croisette at 25 km from the aéroport de Nice via the road along the seaside, 1 km (5 mn) from the gare de Cannes, and faces the palais des Festivals on the Croisette.
