Celebrate New Year's Eve in Riviera Chic!
The iconic Hotel Martinez on the Croisette in Cannes is pulling out all the stops for the most memorable French Riviera NYE celebrations.
If there is one hotel that optimises the look and feel of the French Riviera, it is the Hotel Martinez. Cool, breezy, chic and azur blue, this 5-star Palace on the Croisette in Cannes was built at the height of the Art Deco period and the gleaming white structure stands along a row of magnificent Palaces lining the Mediterranean shore. In the spring and summer, it's where you'll find the stars glamming it up for the red carpet. But during the holiday season, the typically low period for travel, the Martinez continues to glitter and glow as it puts on quite the celebration for the end of the year.
Whether enjoying their opulent New Year's Day Brunch, the sophisticated 8-course New Year's Eve dinner at Le Palme d'Or, or booking their fun New Year’s Eve soirée “In 3 Acts”, the Martinez is the place to ring in 2023 in grande style!
Fancy a staycation? With their New Year’s dinner and room package, check-in to the hotel and take a wellness break in their new state-of-the-art spa, L’Oasis du Maritnez then the NYE soirée in 3 acts taking you to the countdown to the fireworks illuminating the starry sky of Cannes. Dance the night away with their DJ and luxuriate on the first day of 2023 with breakfast and 3 pm check-out. Request the Réveillon du Jour de l’An package (from 1300 euros).
