Luxury Apartment Rental in Cannes for Cannes Lions
What Is Cannes Lions and Why Does Your Base Matter?
Cannes Lions : the International Festival of Creativity, is the world's most prestigious event for the advertising, marketing and creative communications industry. Held every June at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes, it brings together tens of thousands of creative directors, brand leaders, agency executives and media professionals from over 100 countries. Cannes Lions 2026 takes place from 22 to 26 June 2026.
Cannes Lions is not a standard trade show. It is five days of back-to-back sessions, award ceremonies, brand activations, beach talks and client dinners ; all compressed into a city that transforms completely for the week. Your accommodation is not just a place to sleep. It is your operational base, your decompression space and, for many delegates, a venue for the informal conversations that matter most.
Staying close to the Palais des Festivals gives you a decisive advantage during Cannes Lions week. Caron Properties offers luxury apartments within walking distance of the main congress venue, selected specifically for professional clients attending the festival.
Our Cannes Lions Apartments : Space, Privacy and Proximity
All Caron Properties apartments for Cannes Lions are located within a 5 to 10 minute walk from the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. Our Croisette properties place you directly on the festival's iconic boulevard, at the centre of everything that happens during the week : inside and outside the official programme.
For creative agency teams, our larger apartments accommodate groups of 2 to 6 people, providing a shared space to debrief, prepare pitches and host informal gatherings away from the permanent noise of the festival venues. For individual executives, our studio and one-bedroom apartments on the Croisette offer the privacy and comfort needed to perform at a high level across a demanding five-day schedule.
Every property includes high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, flexible check-in and access to our concierge service. Corporate invoicing is available for agencies, brands and media companies. All properties are non-smoking and professionally cleaned before each arrival.
Cannes Lions 2026 takes place from 22 to 26 June 2026 at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, 1 Boulevard de la Croisette, Cannes 06400, France. The festival spans five full days of awards ceremonies, keynote talks, masterclasses, networking events and partner brand activations across the city.
June is peak season in Cannes. The combination of the festival and summer demand means that accommodation within walking distance of the Palais des Festivals is extremely scarce. Prices reflect this scarcity. The delegates who secure the best locations are those who book earliest : typically 3 to 5 months before the festival opens.
For planning purposes, we recommend arriving in Cannes on the Saturday or Sunday before the festival opens on Monday 22 June. This allows time to settle in, orient yourself and be ready for a full first day without the stress of a same-day arrival.

Agencies and brands that book with us return year after year for three reasons. First, our locations are genuinely close to the action : not 20 minutes by taxi, but on foot. Second, our concierge service handles the details that consume time during a busy festival week: airport pickups, restaurant bookings, catering for in-apartment meetings, last-minute requests. Third, our billing process is straightforward ; full corporate invoicing, VAT-compliant, adapted to the requirements of international companies.
We understand that Cannes Lions clients often confirm attendance late, once their client commitments are locked. We recommend contacting us as early as possible, but we will always do our best to find a solution even with shorter lead times.
