This iconic hotel is paired with beauties Époque Balustrades and Twin Cupla Domes, a combination of old-world elegance and top luxury, and is a reflection of the Cannes Film Festival brand’s limestone, plaster and pink marble. "I often hear people compare Carlton to the Eiffel Tower," said Pierre-Louis Renou, general manager of the Carlton Hotel. "On the one hand, it's huge, but on the other hand it's so perfect. It's a monument to Cannes' charm."

George Lucas pitches Star Wars On Carlton Terrace (1977)

George Lucas, Cannes, wearing his own dime for screening THX 1138 IDirector n't had a 10-minute lunch meeting with UA CEO David Picker on Carlton Terrace.
