Casino Palm Beach

Casino Palm Beach is a gaming and entertainment complex on Pointe Croisette along the Mediterranean coast, distinguished by its Moorish Revival design with ornate frescoes, moldings, and geometric tower elements. The building houses gaming areas, performance halls, and a saltwater swimming pool that overlooks the bay and nearby islands.

Built during the 1920s and opened in 1929, the venue was created to serve Cannes' emerging appeal as an upscale destination. It rapidly became a favored spot for wealthy travelers and prominent figures seeking entertainment and gaming.

The venue brings together gamblers and theater enthusiasts within opulent spaces designed to evoke glamour and leisure. Its role as an entertainment hub reflects how Cannes developed as a destination for people seeking refinement and social engagement.

The complex sits directly on the waterfront and is accessible from the main beach promenade. Visitors should note that dress codes apply in certain areas and operating hours vary by season.

The saltwater pool is positioned to overlook the Lérins Islands, offering an uncommon blend of swimming and coastal views. A hidden marble gallery connects public gaming spaces to exclusive private member areas that remain out of public sight.
