History
The Legacy of a Celebrated Elegance Since 1928
Ideally located between Cap d’Antibes and the Estérel, facing the Lérins Islands, it would become a true landmark of Cannes on Pointe Croisette. Created in 1928, the Palm Beach finally opened its doors on the 5th of April 1929.
With its Hispano-Moorish and Art Deco architecture, along with its swimming pool and beach adorned with tamarisks born in the sea, Cannes and the Riviera witnessed the birth of the summer season. Long operated by casino operators, the venue hosted prestigious events for almost a century, thus contributing to the Cannes legend.
Memories of renowned galas, famous cabaret shows, and majestic fireworks on the famous terrace of the iron mask, or in cinema with the iconic pool in “Any Number Can Win” by Henri Verneuil with Jean Gabin and Alain Delon… the greatest names have gathered there. European and world aristocracy, actors and artists, influential political figures, all crossed paths at Palm Beach.
