French Riviera Style: Hotel Moliere, Cannes

April 3, 2007 at 9:00 AM | 0 Comments

The Cannes Film Festival is still a ways off (it starts on May 16) but a reader's recent tip about the French Riviera got us daydreaming about escaping to Cote d'Azure. This week we'll continue talking about some of the hotels worthy of checking into. As always, we wanna know what you think, not just what Uma, Rod Stewart, P.Diddy and Paris Hilton think, of the hotels here. So send us your thoughts and questions or comment below the story, telling us what's right, what's wrong and what's just French.

In the starring city of Cannes, just near the Hotel de Provence, you can find another very reasonably priced 24-room hotel, the cute pink-painted Hotel Molière. According to the the Hotel Molière website, the big selling points are something like this:

In the center of Cannes, 100 m. from the Croisette and the beaches, in a calm flowered garden, southern exposure.

Whether the flowers are calm or the experience of being in the garden is calming isn't quite clear, but we figure either way it can't be a bad thing. Most of the rooms have a terrace overlooking this calm garden, so ask for one of these when you book; all of them are air-conditioned, not always the case in this budget range. There's no in-house restaurant at Molière but its central location means you won't be too far from food--just the same, breakfast is included in the room rates, which start from about 100 Euro ($130) for a double (with bathroom) in low season, rising to up to 135 Euro ($180) in high season.
