And for those in Europe
And for those in Europe who enjoy playing no limit Texas hold em and other poker games in a casino setting, the Palais Stephanie in Cannes has reopened.
Tucked between the Mediterranean Sea and the imposing Southern Alps, Palais Stéphanie reopens following the most extensive renovation of any hotel in Cannes in decades. The 38-million Euro renovation has completely transformed this classic hotel into a vibrant and stylish hotspot incorporating modern design elements reflecting its glamorous film heritage. The hotel is enviously located in the center of the famous La Croisette just steps from the beach, with breathtaking views of the Bay of Cannes and the Lerins Islands. You’ll have a difficult time even staying at the poker table knowing what’s outside.
Palais Stéphanie sits on the original site of the Palais des Congrs, where the first Cannes Film Festivals were held until the new Palais des Festivals was inaugurated in 1983. The dramatic redesign of the hotel pays tribute to the legendary film stars of festivals past, such as Sophia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and Liz Taylor, whose timeless glamour accentuate the Palais’ design. For business travelers, Palais Stéphanie offers an 820-seat auditorium, suitable for any type of professional gathering or high-profile film screening. In addition, the hotel offers 16 meeting rooms with 12,900 square-feet of flexible space. Much different than playing poker online.
