For those unable to join us this time, know that we will continue to share updates and inspiration from Newport Beach — a destination whose coastal sophistication and cinematic spirit reflect the very essence of Cannes.

For confirmed guests, we are delighted to welcome you to Newport Beach, Dans La Paume De Votre Main, an evening where the Côte d’Azur meets the California Riviera. The celebration will unfold at La Palme d’Or, Hôtel Martinez, where you’ll be transported through flavor, film, and the timeless beauty shared by our two shores.

Before your arrival, we invite you to explore the curated insights below — a glimpse into Newport Beach’s silver screen legacy, sunlit harbor, and modern elegance that mirror the allure of Cannes.

Any additional inquiries may be directed to Ms. Kamia Kinchlow or Ms. Olivia Bennett, your dedicated hosts for this exclusive evening.

We look forward to welcoming you soon to a celebration of coastal luxury, connection, and cinematic inspiration.

Where is La Palme d’Or located? 

Location: inside the Hôtel Martinez, part of The Unbound

Address:  73, boulevard de la Croisette, 06 400 Cannes, Provence-Alps-Cote D’Azur, France 

(Set on the first floor of the glamorous Hôtel Martinez, La Palme d’Or overlooks the famed promenade of La Croisette)

Set inside the emblematic Hôtel Martinez, La Palme D’Or remains a luxurious realm of the stars during the Cannes Film Festival and continues to be a vibrant tribute to cinema, one of chef Jean Imbert’s passions. With wood paneling that wouldn’t be out of place on a yacht coasting in Newport Harbor in the golden age of Hollywood, the decor is overflowing with authentic film props and posters. The menu is written like a screenplay, illustrated with storyboards.We are thrilled to invite you to this treasured experience.

What attire is recommended for this event? 

Channel the allure of a red-carpet evening by the sea. Elegant cocktail attire is encouraged: refined, confident, and ready for the spotlight. As winter’s coastal breeze drifts along La Croisette, consider a tailored jacket or stylish wrap to keep you comfortably chic beneath the Riviera lights. 

Where is Newport Beach? 

Newport Beach is a captivating coastal gem located in Orange County, California, halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego. The epitome of ultra-luxury on the California coast, Newport Beach is where refined elegance meets coastal charm in a seamless blend of sophistication and style.

 

How is Newport Beach similar to Cannes? 

Much like Cannes, Newport Beach is an oasis of coastal elegance and cinematic charm. Along its sunlit harbor, luxury yachts glide through sparkling waters, while private villas and oceanfront resorts offer panoramic views of the Pacific. Both destinations share a spirit of effortless sophistication — where fine dining, designer shopping, and a legacy of film and artistry create a lifestyle that feels timeless, inspiring, and unmistakably glamorous. 

How would you describe Newport Beach’s climate? 

A perfect blend of crisp sea air and sunny skies, Newport Beach offers a moderate year-round Mediterranean climate. With its gentle ocean breezes and more than 270 days per year of sunshine, Newport Beach encourages an active outdoor lifestyle complete with breathtaking hikes, cloudless beach days, and leisurely strolls along the coastline.  

Where would the stars stay in Newport Beach?

Just as Cannes draws the world’s luminaries to its coastline, Newport Beach offers its own constellation of luxury resorts, each one a scene-stealer in the story of coastal elegance.
