With a nod to the many stars who gather there during the Cannes Film Festival, Carlton Bar creates an elegant atmosphere for enjoying cocktails and conversation. Among the menu favourites is the Lady Carlton, a drink created by the head barman in honour of an English lady who lived in the InterContinental Carlton Cannes for 25 years. On Friday and Saturday evenings, live jazz fills the air as guests wander out to the Carlton Terrace to savour unrivalled views of the bay.

When the occasion calls for a low-key, more intimate setting, The Petit Bar located right off the lobby is a perfect choice. A sophisticated menu of cocktails and light snacks is offered each evening as a prelude to a night on the town, to accompany a rendezvous with friends or business associates, or as a fitting finale to a glorious day in Cannes.
