After ten months of waiting, he is transformed. The Radisson Blu no longer exists. Neither near nor far. The Hilton tornado totally swept it away. Of the past, there is almost nothing left. Foundations only. The breathtaking view of the whole bay and Le Suquet, too. Otherwise, everything has changed.
From the ground floor to the rooftop, customers embark on a new journey: towards Canopy by Hilton. More Mediterranean, more local, more trends.
SDPNE, the French family group that has owned the Cannes hotel for twenty years, is delighted with its new identity (franchised), signed by designer Ramy Fischler, unique in its kind in the city of festivals.
For the atmosphere, warm tones, terracotta in response to the colors of Estérel and Suquet, and light. So that everyone, hotel guests and locals wanting to enjoy such a place for a few hours, can find their way around…
1- This is the flagship of the new establishment: the Café Crème brunch club! Not only did this catering area not exist, but in addition “The windows were mirrored. Passers-by couldn’t see what was going on inside. Now yes!”, smiles the director, Jean-François Chapel. The discovery of this sweet and savory Californian canteen, signed by chef Alexander Burger, is open 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., without reservation.
2- In the social hub (and coworking welcome!) and the Café Crème, between 1,000 and 1,200 pots, made in Vallauris, adorn the wall shelves. “Ceramics are the red thread of our decoration”, explains Nicolas Esclapez, the owner.
3- The hotel now has two entrances: one overlooking Boulevard Jean-Hibert (with reception and valet service) and the other on Quai Saint-Pierre (to welcome Café Crème customers).
4- The place was designed as a relay of local and international artistic and cultural heritage. The 141 rooms (including two suites of more than 100 m2) are all associated with works of art, created specifically for them. Twelve artists are exhibited in the Canopy by Hilton hotel…
5- For now, 90% of the establishment has been restored. There is still the residence “Spa-Fitness”, specifies the director Jean-François Chapel. See you in September to discover it. “Customers and locals will be able to take advantage of it!”
