Radisson Hotel Group étoffe son portefeuille français avec une nouvelle adresse sur la Côte d’Azur.

The Radisson Hotel Cannes Seaside has just opened its doors on Docteur Raymond Picaud Avenue, near the Croisette, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, and the historic Suquet district.

This opening aligns with the group’s development strategy on a market considered a priority.

“France remains one of Radisson Hotel Group’s strategic markets, while Cannes has established itself as one of the most renowned European destinations, for both leisure tourism and major events“, notes Yilmaz Yildirimlar, COO Managed Hotels Europe of Radisson Hotel Group.

Radisson : une offre pensée pour les clientèles loisirs et MICE

The establishment features 100 rooms, distributed across four categories (Standard, Superior, Premium and Junior Suite).

Inspired by the Mediterranean way of living, the décor emphasizes bright spaces and tones evoking the Côte d’Azur coastline. A portion of the rooms includes a balcony with views of the Mediterranean or the gardens.

The Radisson Hotel Cannes Seaside also aims to appeal to business travelers. Two modular meeting rooms, illuminated by natural light, can accommodate up to 150 participants for conferences, seminars or private events. They are equipped with audiovisual gear and complemented by a dedicated catering offer.

Outside, terraces and the pool provide additional spaces for hosting receptions or events overlooking the sea.

A Mediterranean-Focused Dining

The dining offer revolves around La Palma Restaurant & Bar, which showcases a Mediterranean cuisine crafted from regional products. The restaurant offers a breakfast buffet, a seasonal menu, and a selection of cocktails served on a terrace with panoramic views.

The establishment benefits from a location that allows visitors to quickly reach Cannes’ main tourist sites, from the Croisette to the Îles de Lérins, passing by the Suquet and the Palais des Festivals.

“We are delighted to welcome our first guests to the Radisson Hotel Cannes Seaside. Every detail of the establishment has been designed to reflect the warmth and relaxed elegance of Mediterranean hospitality“, declares Samia Briki, the hotel’s general manager.

She adds that the establishment aims to welcome both business travelers and vacationers or guests coming to celebrate a special occasion.

Located about a ten-minute walk from the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, this former standard aparthotel has undergone a complete overhaul to erase traces of its past.

Classified as four stars, the establishment now offers 72 rooms distributed across five categories (Classic, Comfort, Superior, Family, and Family Superior) capable of accommodating up to 6 people.

All the rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with NUXE welcome products, a TV with Chromecast, and optimal comfort for short or long stays. Pets (up to 15 kg) are also welcome, with special attention.

A Contemporary Reinterpretation of the Belle Époque

The interior architecture, entrusted to Marie-Paule Clout (founder of the Noir Nuance agency), unifies the historic neo-classical main façade with the more recent extensions from the 1990s around a timeless identity.

The decoration relies on a palette of natural tones (warm sand, light stone, saline hues) and noble materials such as parquet, walnut, wicker, stone, and linen.

From the Belle Époque-inspired welcome, the tone is set with a graphic parquet floor and elegant moldings. The breakfast area was designed beneath a wide glass roof, like a winter garden, incorporating an orange tree and a lemon tree kept in place.

The hotel also integrates a wellness space featuring an indoor pool, loungers, and a herbal tea bar, completed by a fully equipped fitness room.

A Clear-Cut Eco-Friendly Approach

In line with the policy of the Assas Hotels group, the Lepoussin Hotel implements concrete everyday actions to reduce its environmental impact.

The emphasis is on waste management and weighing, reducing food waste, and transparency about the local origin of breakfast products.

For the upkeep of the premises, the establishment has banned nearly all chemical products in favor of an ozone water system. The hotel aims for a comprehensive assessment via the FairScore audit by 2027. The site finally features a private parking lot equipped with electric charging stations.

Valentin Villatte, Operations Director

Valentin Villatte, the operations director, holds a bachelor’s degree from the Institute Vatel. He climbed the ranks of the hotel industry by serving as Executive Housekeeper at the National des Arts et Métiers in Paris, then as Director of Housekeeping during the opening of the Belle Plage hotel in Cannes.

After managerial stints at the Gray d’Albion Barrière in Cannes and at L’Îlot du Golf in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, he takes the helm of this new address of the Assas group.
