Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Château de la Tour

Nestled in a 5,000-square-meter park a 10-minute drive from Cannes and near a beach, this boutique hotel on a 19th-century property feels like a mini-retreat. Relax in your room with a view of the sea, the Estérel Massif, or the park, or lounge by the peaceful infinity pool before indulging in a fabulous meal at the on-site restaurant. But should you want to explore the area, you can reach Cannes on one of three local buses—No. 1, 2, or 20 (€1.60)—or by train from the Cannes la Bocca station after a 10-minute walk.
