Nestled within 25 acres of meticulously maintained Italian-style gardens, Château de la Croix des Gardes offers its guests privacy, spectacular views of the Mediterranean, and is just a stone’s throw away from Cannes’ renowned Croisette. The estate’s luxurious amenities and interior design embody a perfect marriage of traditional elegance and contemporary comfort, featuring 16 beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms inspired by impressionist art, spread across the main house, cottages, and a pool penthouse.
The estate is not just about splendid accommodations; it also offers a wide range of entertainment options. Guests can enjoy a cozy cinema room, a private bowling alley, a newly constructed tennis court, and a grand ballroom that can host up to 100 people for grand celebrations. A dedicated Château Manager and Head Butler ensure that every guest’s stay is marked by the impeccable service Mandarin Oriental is known for.
Château de la Croix des Gardes holds a special place in the history of cinema and glamour, having served as the setting for Alfred Hitchcock’s 1955 classic “To Catch a Thief,” and continues to attract celebrities and fashion icons, including hosting a fashion show by Donatella Versace.
