The VIP luncheon was staged at the legendary Carlton Beach Club at Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel – the location of the very first festival in 1946 and the favored location for those attending the event ever since. The setting, against the Côte d'Azur backdrop, featured a 10-meter dining table dressed in the hotel’s Beach Club’s iconic yellow and white stripe motif. The menu featured perhaps Cannes’ most emblematic dish – The Carlton Beach Club’s famous Homer Lobster Brioche.

Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel has been ‘an icon of the Riviera’ for more than 100 years, in this time becoming a leading lady in the annual Cannes Film Festival since its hosting of the very first festival in 1946. Just one of many movie moments in which the hotel has appeared. Others include Alfred Hitchcock’s “To Catch a Thief,” with the hotel the famed location where film star Grace Kelly met Prince Rainier of Monaco. Since 1913 the hotel has popped champagne, forged memories, and pushed boundaries to create unforgettable moments, whilst continuing to be forever intertwined with the history of cinema.
