Private concierge in Cannes

The room secured early, the evening wear ready, the car waiting after the screening.

We prepare your stay in Cannes around whatever brings you there. The 80th Festival takes place from 11 to 22 May 2027, and over the year the town also hosts the property fair in March, the advertising festival in June and the boat show in September. In those weeks, rooms on the Croisette and villas in the hills are booked from one year to the next: we start the search as soon as your dates are likely, without waiting for them to be confirmed.

During the Festival, evening screenings at the Palais des Festivals are by invitation and in evening dress: dinner jacket and bow tie, evening gown. We prepare everything around your invitations: the outfit altered and delivered before the evening, the car timed for the red carpet and again for the way out, the dinner table booked for after the screening. For a trade fair, the stay is run in the same way, with meetings, lunches and evening events arranged in advance.

Nice airport is about half an hour away by road, longer on Festival evenings; business aircraft land at Cannes-Mandelieu, five kilometres west of the town. In the busy weeks, parts of the Croisette are closed and traffic moves at walking pace: we plan your journeys around those closures, and some are better made on foot or by sea. The Lérins Islands are a quarter of an hour away by boat, for a lunch away from the crowds. During the stay, we move a table or a transfer when the screening schedule changes.

What we are asked

  • When is the Cannes Film Festival in 2027?

    From 11 to 22 May 2027, for the 80th edition. The selection is announced a few weeks before the opening, but rooms and villas are booked well before that: for the Festival fortnight, the search often begins the previous autumn.

  • Can I attend a screening at the Palais?

    Screenings at the Palais are reserved for accredited professionals and invited guests, and no seat can be bought. If you are invited, we prepare everything around the evening: the outfit, the car, the arrival time and the dinner afterwards.

  • What should I wear for the red carpet?

    Evening dress is required for the evening screenings in the Palais’s main auditorium: dinner jacket and bow tie, evening gown. Daytime screenings accept smart day wear. We have the outfit prepared and fitted before you arrive, then delivered to the hotel or villa.

  • How do I get to Cannes from Nice airport?

    By road, in about half an hour outside busy periods, longer during the Festival and on summer evenings. Business aircraft can also land at Cannes-Mandelieu, five kilometres from the town. The car is waiting for you in either case.

  • Where should I stay during the Festival?

    On the Croisette to walk to the Palais, in the hills of La Californie or Super-Cannes for quiet, or on Cap d’Antibes, about twenty minutes away outside busy periods, for the sea. The choice depends on your programme: the number of evenings, daytime meetings, guests to entertain.
