The new Solestia hotel group announces the acquisition of 3 hotels in Cannes, including the Verlaine****

A new player in the French Riviera tourism market, the Solestia group announces its launch with the acquisition of three hotels in Cannes, including the four-star Hotel Verlaine. It also plans to open a hotel and restaurant in Nice in 2026.

The group has announced the acquisition of three iconic hotels in Cannes, ideally located near the Croisette and the Rue d’Antibes: the Hotel Verlaine**** ( 46 rooms) , the Hotel & Spa Cézanne **** (29 rooms) and the Hotel Renoir**** (31 rooms) .

As part of an approach to creating places with a strong identity, based on the demand for detail and in a Mediterranean spirit, the new Solestia hotel group is making a remarkable entry into the French Riviera market.

Totaling 106 rooms, in Classic, Superior and Suite categories, these establishments constitute the starting point for the development of the group, driven by a vision of hospitality centered on people and the customer experience.

“Solestia embodies light and hospitality, two pillars of our vision. We wish to create places that are both elegant and sincere, where human warmth meets the beauty of details. An ode to the Mediterranean, to the sweetness of life and to a timeless beauty that unites the shores of the South,” explains the group.

Renovation and development program: On its three Cannes establishments, Solestia has undertaken a vast renovation and rehabilitation program, for a total investment of 500K euros, which began on the Renoir and Cézanne hotels before being extended soon to the Verlaine.

The four-star Hotel & Spa Cézanne is located less than 500 meters from the Croisette, the Palais des Festivals, the beaches, and the shopping streets, making it an ideal location for easily exploring the city. From the moment you step inside, you are enveloped in a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

The Hotel Cézanne is a place where you slow down, breathe, and savor the serenity of the South. Sheltered by trees yet connected to the energy of Cannes, the hotel offers a soothing respite between sea, city, and garden.

The Hotel Renoir**** , scheduled to reopen at the end of February, will notably benefit from a complete redesign of its lobby and breakfast room, conceived by the Nice-based architecture firm Bleu Gris.

The Hotel Verlaine**** , for its part, will also undergo renovation work, but remains to this day the most accomplished version of the brand.

Ancien hôtel particulier de style Belle Époque, il dispose de 46 chambres et suites réparties entre le bâtiment principal, sur 4 niveaux, et son annexe, baptisée l’Atelier. Entre A former Belle Époque mansion, it features 46 rooms and suites spread across the four-story main building and its annex, called L’Atelier. Inspired by jungle, graphic art, and butterflies, all rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a minibar, safe, free internet access, and a flat-screen TV. Bathrooms include hairdryers, bathrobes, large towels, and NUXE toiletries.

A true haven of well-being, where the gentle Mediterranean atmosphere is ever-present, the Hotel Verlaine also boasts a private, shaded patio, far from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel also features a bar, a meeting room, and private parking, catering to the needs of both leisure and business travelers.

Solestia does not intend to stop there. In a development strategy, and after the acquisition of its first hotels, the group also plans, during 2026, the opening of the Posidonia**** hotel and the Sacha restaurant in the heart of Nice and currently under construction.
