Location
The most coveted address in Cannes
Front row
to the festival.
Step out directly onto La Croisette, with the Palais, beachfront venues, hotels and the city's defining conversations all within immediate reach.
During Cannes Lions, location is not a convenience—it defines access, visibility and the rhythm of the week. Guests move effortlessly between official programming and private appointments, while leadership remains close to every opportunity without sacrificing time or discretion.
The first-floor position combines instant accessibility with a rare sense of separation: close enough to be present, private enough to conduct serious business.

The Building
First Croisette
A landmark address.
A private world.
Contemporary architecture, exceptional proportions and an uninterrupted relationship with the Croisette.
Occupying the entire first floor of one of Cannes’ most prestigious modern residences, The Croisette House offers the scale of a corporate venue with the intimacy of a private residence.
Independent living, meeting and hospitality zones make it possible to welcome different audiences throughout the day while maintaining a consistent premium experience. Behind the public-facing spaces, private rooms provide calm, discretion and genuine executive comfort.

Secure rooms for confidential conversations, executive preparation and discreet accommodation.
A unified venue enables smooth movement between meetings, hospitality and production.
