The Tailor-made Options for the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic’s VIP Guests

Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic Cannes is a property that defines excellence. What separates it from other world-class hotels is how it goes the ‘extra mile’ to please guests. Recently, the palace-hotel has added a range of tailor-made services to its eight ‘Signature’ suites. Below, we look at what guests can expect from the hotel’s ‘signature experience’.

For several years, this palace-hotel at 10 La Croisette in Cannes has focused on the truly exceptional by increasing the array of spectacular suites available to guests as part of its Signature Collection.

There are now eight of these, each featuring their own personalised look, either inspired by a particular celebrity or inviting guests to embark on a journey around the Mediterranean through their decor. Over the past few weeks, these remarkable suites have also been complemented by a range of exclusive, tailor-made Signature Services.

“Signature” is the name that the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic has given to its collection of eight exceptional suites, all of which are focused on two key values. Firstly, the French-style elegance behind the prestige of this property situated on the Croisette, which is now approaching its centenary. Secondly, a true sense of space available to its guests, showcased by the 650m² of the Majestic penthouse and terrace.

Perched on the seventh/top floor of this Art Deco building, this suite features its own infinity pool, providing guests with a delightfully scenic vantage point from which to admire the steps of the Palais des Festivals and the backdrop of the bay of Cannes.

In addition to the features they all have in common, the hotel’s Signature Suites each boast their own individual characteristics and differences, giving them a clear identity.

For example, the Christian Dior and Michèle Morgan suites take their inspiration directly from the two celebrities who have lent them their names. The life and work of the French couturier Christian Dior is showcased via a thousand and one decorative details:

• The rotunda that brings to mind the ceiling of his historic boutique on the Avenue Montaigne in Paris.
• The iconic grey and silver medallion chairs.
• The red Dior cushions.
• The cane work headboards.

Meanwhile, the memory of Michèle Morgan, the unforgettable star of the movie Quai des Brumes (Port of Shadows), is magnificently revived through personal photographs and mementoes and unique cushions (the design of which has been personalised with her hypnotic eyes, considered the most beautiful in French cinema). The tapestries and carpet were directly inspired by the Cannes Film Festival, which awarded Michèle Morgan the Best Actress prize in 1946.

“Haute-couture” Service
These unique Signature Suites are also characterised by the quality of their services, enabling their occupants to enjoy an array of exclusive options. This was already the case in the past, with each suite boasting its own butler who would constantly keep a watchful eye to ensure the comfort and well-being of guests.

“Our day-to-day work is full of contrasts”, the head of Butler Services explains. “We are, of course, able to offer small services such as providing a cellphone charger or a pack of aspirin as well as focusing on the truly extraordinary, such as organising a romantic marriage proposal or transforming a suite into a haunted house for a Halloween party”.

However, for several weeks now, Le Majestic has been able to further enhance the level of service available in its suites by offering its high-end guests a “tailor-made” experience.

These “tailor-made” Signature Services include twenty or so benefits for the hotel’s Signature Suite guests – personalised attention that its high-end clients will enjoy as soon as they arrive on the French Riviera.

As soon as they step out of their private jet or helicopter, Le Majestic staff will personally welcome them away from the madding crowds. They will then be transferred by limousine directly to the Croisette. If they arrive by private vehicle, complimentary parking is made available to them, whenever possible, directly in front of the hotel.

Once they arrive at Le Majestic, a dedicated team of professional staff will personally take care of them and ensure their well-being throughout their stay.

This starts with express check-in inside their suite to avoid the need to visit the reception desk. This team will also monitor their safety and security, managing the incredible experiences VIPs likely will require within the hotel’s walls, such as birthdays, anniversaries, marriage proposals, honeymoons, etc.

The team will also take care of any leisure activities that the hotel’s VIP guests may need, suggest and arrange new experiences as requested, or book tickets or tables at the region’s most prestigious events and finest restaurants. The occupants of the Majestic Penthouse will even have a dedicated chef on hand to conjure up an array of personalised gourmet dishes.

Numerous exclusive bonuses are part and parcel of this fully personalised experience: welcome gifts; beauty products from the spa placed in the suite; a significantly upgraded mini-bar; baby’s accessories for young mums; and, for guests with a taste for the cuisine of the Middle and Far East, a delicious supper followed, perhaps, by a chicha pipe – the latter a simple detail but the type of tiny service that makes a stay at Le Majestic truly unforgettable!
