It's a grand, imposing building that the bright sun lights up thanks to its clear white paint, catching the eye no matter where you are on the beach.
While the staff run a slick operation, the front of the hotel is usually quite busy, with cars pulling in ranging from classic Cadillacs to the newest model of Ferrari to drop and pick up guests, while the public gather in the evenings outside before the big Cannes premiere in hopes of seeing some celebrities.

It was a friendly atmosphere, with a mixture of glamour ous people dressed up to beyond the nines and more casual guests in shorts and tees, as befitting the burning hot weather. General Hotel Manager Charlez Richez told Insider that they get "different clientele during the festival than by the normal period of the year.
Journalists, editors, models a lot of people working in all the deluxe brands: the fashion, the jewelry, all the high end brands," Richez said. With people coming in and out as they please, I wondered what the COVID restrictions are, but Richez told me that the only restriction they have capacity wise concerns their newly opened club.
The rest, the hotel, the beach, the restaurants, is fine," Richez said. Head Chef Pierrick Cizeron told Insider that during his work at Le Majestic , he has cooked for many celebrities, something he says makes him "more vigilant" but not nervous. But I would not say we cook differently. We do our job," Cizeron said.
