The '''Hotel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes''' is a historic luxury hotel on the [[Promenade de la Croisette|Croisette]] in [[Cannes]], built in 1926. It belongs to the [[Lucien Barrière group]]. It is a traditional hotel for film stars attending the [[Cannes Festival]].

== History ==
The present hotel is the result of the merger of the parcels of the former hôtel Beau-Rivage and of two neighbouring villas. Construction began in 1923 under the leadership of architect Théo Petit, also architect of the [[Normandy Barrière|hôtel Normandy]] at [[Deauville]]. He produced an [[art deco]] design with a main façade and 2 rear wings, but only the east wing and the main body were finished when the hotel opened in 1926. The rest of the central body of the building was extended in 1928 by the architects [[Charles Nicod]] and [[Émile Molinié]], at which date the interiors were also redecorated by Maurice Debenedetti. 2 floors were added to the top of the building in 1965 and in 1990 the façades were rebuilt uniformly in their original art deco style.<ref>{{Base Mérimée|IA06000712|Hôtel de voyageurs dit Hôtel Majestic}}</ref>
