The Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic seen from the sea, above the beach

Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic, Cannes

The Palais des Festivals stands right opposite the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes, across the Croisette. For a trade show, your Nice airport to Majestic transfer runs the day before or early that morning.

The hotel and its neighbourhood

Théo Petit, 1926

The Majestic opened in 1926 on the site of the old Beau-Rivage hotel and two villas. Its architect, Théo Petit, also designed the Normandy in Deauville. In 1990, its white façades were restored to their original Art Deco style. Since 1952, the hotel has belonged to the company that runs the Cannes municipal casino, today's Barrière group.

Across the Croisette

The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, opened at the end of 1982, hosts the Film Festival in May and MIPCOM in the autumn. From the Majestic's lobby, you simply cross the Croisette to reach it. Cannes station is 400 metres to the north, and the Old Port lies along the western side of the Palais.

Our chauffeur services at Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic

By train or by plane

Coming by TGV? The station is only 400 metres away, but with suitcases and display cases, a car is easier. From Nice Airport, allow 40 minutes to Cannes, from €110. A team and its kit fit in a V-Class. We drop you outside the hotel entrance.

Trade show week

For MIPIM in March, Cannes Lions in June or MIPCOM in October, the Croisette fills up the day before. Arriving a day early gives you time to collect your badge without rushing. On the last day, the chauffeur picks you up at the Majestic after closing, luggage and all. Our business service also handles your meetings away from the Palais.

After the stands

A team dinner is often booked outside Cannes, in Antibes old town or in Juan-les-Pins. A private party in a villa up in La Californie? We drop you there and later drive you back to the Majestic at the time arranged.

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 Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic?

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 Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic?

About 40 minutes to reach Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic (29 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.

The day before MIPIM, will a private driver drop us at the Majestic?

We collect you when you land or step off the train, and leave you outside the hotel, ready for the next day's opening.

How do we get from the Majestic to the airport on the last day of the show?

The chauffeur picks you up at the agreed time, after closing, luggage included, and drops you at your terminal.

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.
