Hôtel Martinez, on the Croisette in Cannes
Opened in February 1929, Hotel Martinez in Cannes spreads its Art Deco frontage along the bay. A Hotel Martinez transfer covers the 25 kilometres of coast road from Nice airport.
The hotel and its neighbourhood
Charles Palmero's design
In 1927, Emmanuel Martinez bought a villa on the Croisette and had it pulled down. In its place, Nice architect Charles Palmero raised seven storeys between two wings, along a frontage of about a hundred metres. It was then the largest hotel in the region. In June 2026, the Martinez became the first palace hotel in Cannes.
Towards Pointe Croisette
The hotel stands on the eastern stretch of the Croisette, 500 metres from the Palais des Festivals. Beyond it, the promenade ends at Pointe Croisette, with its gardens and Port Pierre-Canto, dug from 1964 for pleasure craft. Cannes station is only a kilometre away.
Our chauffeur services at Hotel Martinez
Arriving at the Martinez
Prices start at €110, fixed at the time of booking. From Nice Airport, the road runs through Antibes and Golfe-Juan, then reaches Cannes from the east: allow 45 minutes. The chauffeur pulls up at 73 La Croisette and carries your bags to the door.
The Yachting Festival next door
In September, the Cannes Yachting Festival fills the Old Port and Port Pierre-Canto, the nearer of the two to the hotel. Buyers and owners spend the whole day on the pontoons. The chauffeur takes you from one harbour to the other, then back to the Martinez in time for dinner. If a meeting on board runs late, one call is enough to move your return time.
Evenings out of town
Mougins, a hilltop village a few kilometres north, makes a fine setting for dinner. Grasse and its perfume houses lie 19 kilometres away. The chauffeur waits or returns at the time you set, then drives you back to the Croisette, however late it is.
Riviera Private Driver is an independent chauffeur service, not affiliated with the hotel.

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Hotel Martinez?
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 Hotel Martinez?
About 45 minutes to reach Hotel Martinez (28 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.
Our flight leaves at dawn: will a private driver collect us from the Martinez in the middle of the night?
We run 24/7: the chauffeur is outside the hotel at the agreed time, even at 4 a.m.
During the Yachting Festival, can you drive us from the Martinez to Port Pierre-Canto?
Yes. We drop you as close to the pontoons as we can, then collect you again when you are ready.
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.
