This hotel is pretty much as "glamourous French estate" as you can get without having hosted a mid-70's Rolling Stones residency. Considered the most prestigious place to stay in Cannes, this hotel was the central location for Hitchcock's "To Catch a Thief" and was featured in Elton John's music video for "I'm Still Standing." Most notably, this is where actress Grace Kelly met Prince Rainier III and became Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco, meaning she's the only Princess who is also an Academy Award winner.
