Carlton Cannes
Two domes crown the seaward corners of the Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, halfway along the Croisette. From Nice airport to the Carlton, your private driver follows the coast from the Baie des Anges to the bay of Cannes.
The hotel and its neighbourhood
The Belle Époque domes
The Carlton opened on 30 January 1911, to plans by Charles Dalmas and Marcellin Mayère. Grand Duke Michael of Russia helped fund the work. From 1912, a new wing doubled its size. Legend has it that the domes pay tribute to the curves of La Belle Otero, a famous courtesan of the day. It joined France's register of historic monuments in 1984.
Hitchcock and Grace Kelly
In 1954, Alfred Hitchcock filmed To Catch a Thief here, with Grace Kelly and Cary Grant. The following year, the actress stayed at the Carlton during the Festival. She left from there for a photo session with Prince Rainier III of Monaco, whom she married in 1956.
Our chauffeur services at Carlton Cannes
Reaching the Carlton
A flight landing at dawn or after midnight makes no difference: we drive 24/7. From Nice Airport, the journey to Cannes takes 45 minutes, and fares start at €110, agreed in advance. Just give us your flight number when booking. The chauffeur leaves you at 58 La Croisette, between the two domes, with your suitcases.
On to Monaco, like Grace Kelly
Monaco is 50 kilometres from the hotel. Our excursion service takes you up to the Rock, near the Prince's Palace where the actress met the prince in 1955. Spend the morning there or the whole day, then the chauffeur brings you back to the Croisette. The drive home is on the motorway, late in the afternoon or after dinner.
An evening in Saint-Paul
Saint-Paul-de-Vence is 30 kilometres from the Carlton. Dinner inside the ramparts follows a stroll through the lanes. You head back at the time you choose, with no parking to hunt for outside the village.
Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Carlton Cannes?
The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €120 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €150 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €180 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€110 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.
How long does it take from Nice Airport to Carlton Cannes?
About 45 minutes to reach Carlton Cannes (30 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.
My flight lands after midnight: can a private driver take me to the Carlton?
You are dropped at 58 La Croisette whatever the time, as we drive day and night.
Can we do a Carlton to Monaco round trip in a day?
Yes. The chauffeur drops you in Monaco in the morning and brings you back to the Carlton in the evening, or stays with you all day.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.
How do I pay?
Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.
What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?
A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
