Staying in Cannes for Cannes Lions
Lions week is a working week disguised as a party, and where you stay decides how well you get through it. Agency and brand teams book the yachts and the hotel suites early and everyone else scrambles. An apartment solves the two things a hotel room does not: somewhere to hold a conversation that is not a crowded terrace, and somewhere to sit down at the end of a day of standing up. We are a short walk from the Palais, so you can go back between sessions rather than committing to the beach for six hours.
When it happens
21 to 25 June 2027, at the Palais des Festivals. The 2026 edition ran 22 to 26 June.
Why here
- Short walk to the Palais des Festivals and the Croisette activations.
- A terrace that works as a meeting room when every bar is three deep.
- Two en-suite bedrooms, so colleagues can share without sharing a bathroom.
- Kitchen, laundry and air conditioning, which matter more on day four than day one.
- Direct booking, no commission, and hosts who live in Cannes year round.
Common questions
When is Cannes Lions 2027?
The festival runs 21 to 25 June 2027 at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. The 2026 edition ran 22 to 26 June.
Where do people stay for Cannes Lions?
Hotels along the Croisette, private apartments in the centre, and chartered yachts in the Vieux Port. Apartments in central Cannes tend to be the best value for a group of two to four, and the only option that gives you a private space to meet in.
How early should you book accommodation for Cannes Lions?
Six to twelve months ahead. Central Cannes is largely gone by the previous autumn, and rates rise sharply as the week approaches.
Is the apartment suitable for working during the festival?
Yes. Two en-suite bedrooms, wifi, air conditioning and a wraparound terrace, which is where most of the useful conversations end up happening.
