As multigenerational travel gains momentum globally, travelling across generations remains a longstanding tradition among Indian families. For India’s UHNW families, the appeal lies in balancing shared experiences with the individual preferences of each generation, allowing grandparents, parents and younger travellers to enjoy a holiday together at their own pace.
Set along Cannes’ iconic La Croisette, Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, brings this approach to the French Riviera through its collection of 37 private residences, ranging from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom layouts. Designed by French interior architect Tristan Auer as part of the hotel’s transformation, which culminated in its reopening in 2023, the residences combine spacious living areas with the privacy and flexibility of a home, offering families a more personal way to experience the French Riviera, from extended holidays and multigenerational gatherings to milestone celebrations.
A multigenerational holiday need not follow a single itinerary. While parents may settle into a leisurely afternoon at the Carlton Beach Club, with the Mediterranean as their backdrop, younger guests can enjoy the beach and seasonal activities and grandparents can take time to relax at Le C Club Spa with a range of treatments. Dining offers an opportunity for generations to come together, with Mediterranean cuisine at Riviera Restaurant. Back in the residence, families can also enjoy the flexibility of preparing meals in their fully equipped kitchen while guests staying in the Penthouse can dine on the private rooftop, overlooking the Bay of Cannes.
The residences are designed to accommodate different group sizes, with separate bedrooms and shared living spaces allowing families to find their own balance between time together and privacy. At the top of the collection, the Penthouse offers 450 square metres of interior space and a private rooftop of the same size. Its two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, lounges, dining area, sauna and rooftop swimming pool create an expansive private setting for families seeking additional space, with views across the gardens and the Mediterranean.
Commenting on the residences, Matthias Kaesweber, Director of Sales and Marketing, Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, says, “The Carlton Cannes Residences offer a unique opportunity to experience the French Riviera with the privacy and comfort of a private home, combined with the exceptional service and lifestyle of the Carlton Cannes. They are particularly suited to longer stays, extended family gatherings and special celebrations, offering our guests an exclusive and memorable way to experience Cannes.”
For families travelling across generations, the appeal lies in being able to share a destination without having to experience it in the same way. At Carlton Cannes, the residences offer a private base from which each generation can discover the French Riviera at its own pace, with the freedom to come together when it matters most.
