IC Carlton Cannes

We just returned from IC Carlton Cannes few weeks ago for beginning of September '15 stay.

What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Platinum Ambassador

Were you happy with the hotel?
Absolutely. We were there for celebrating birthday, they have our room ready with welcoming gift and cake at check in. Concierge made good recommendation for the birthday dinner too.

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
We booked the Superior room with city view, was upgraded to Deluxe room with ocean view with the BOGO cert.

How are the rooms?
Deluxe room we had is in good condition, on the small side, with 50s decor. Though the restroom is very small and separated from the bathroom. The French balcony faces the La Croisette and Carlton beach.

How is the exec. lounge?
N/A, there's no executive lounge. Although they still have 5th & 6th floor as 'executive' floor.

What was good and what was bad?
The building is an iconic historical landmark in French Riviera, absolutely stunning building. Service was excellent, the front desk staff walk you to your room during check in. View from Deluxe room is great, and service at Carlton beach is wonderful. Room service breakfast is amazing though pricy. Amenities was a bit limited that was the only downside and Carlton beach access incurs additional fee. Sounds insolation can use some improvement as La Croisette is a bit loud on weekend nights.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return?[/QUOTE]
For the use of BOGO cert I though it was decent value consider the rack rate for deluxe room with oceanview was sky high.
