A whole heated apartment for 4, during the luxury travel market.
Renting an apartment in Cannes during ILTM
Blue View Cannes is a 40 m² one-bedroom apartment rented in its entirety for 4 people during ILTM Cannes. It is located in the Villa Francia residence, 33 avenue Amiral Wester Wemyss in Cannes, with heating, a fitted kitchen, Wi-Fi, a sea view balcony and secure indoor parking.
The luxury travel market
ILTM — the International Luxury Travel Market — is held every year in December at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes. It brings together luxury hoteliers, tourist boards, cruise lines, destination management companies and high-end travel advisers from all over the world.
It is the last major business event of the Cannes year, and probably one of the most structured: ILTM runs largely on pre-scheduled appointments between buyers and exhibitors, with a diary settled well before anyone arrives in Cannes.
Cannes in December
December is the quietest month of the year in Cannes. The town is empty of tourists, the Christmas lights are up, and the atmosphere has nothing in common with the Festival or Cannes Lions.
For a stay, that means two things. First, real comfort: free-flowing traffic, restaurants you can get into, a calmer town. Second, a need for warmth: the days are short and the evenings cool. The apartment has heating, and the fitted kitchen means you can dine in after a day of meetings.
The residence pool is closed in December — it is open from April to November. The 5-hectare park, the solarium, the tennis courts and the parking all remain available, however, and the view over the bay from the balcony is often remarkably clear in winter.
Short but intense stays
ILTM lasts a few days, with a very dense diary. Many participants come alone or in pairs, sometimes in threes for tourist boards and hotel groups. Blue View Cannes sleeps 4 people: a separate bedroom with a 140 × 190 cm double bed and a sofa bed in the living room.
What matters for a December stay
| ILTM constraint | What the apartment provides |
|---|---|
| Cool December, night falling early | Heating in the apartment, a comfortable living room |
| A diary of pre-scheduled appointments | Wi-Fi, dining table as a workstation |
| Business dinners and evening events | Iron and ironing board, laundry room in the residence |
| Coming alone, in pairs or as a small team | Whole apartment for 4, separate bedroom + sofa bed |
| Eating late after meetings | Fitted kitchen: oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine |
| Travelling to the Palais | Secure indoor parking, free-flowing December traffic |
| Recovering between two days | 5-hectare park, balcony with an open view over the bay |
Pool: the Villa Francia residence pool is open from April to November, so it is closed during ILTM. The park, the solarium and its chairs, the tennis courts and the parking remain available.
Reaching the Palais des Festivals
ILTM Cannes takes place at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès, on the Cannes seafront.
Blue View Cannes is at 33 avenue Amiral Wester Wemyss, 06150 Cannes, 2.9 km from the Palais des Festivals, about 10 minutes by car. In December Cannes traffic is particularly free-flowing: that journey time is reliable and daily travel is simple.
