ILTM Cannes 2026: where to stay for the luxury travel show

ILTM Cannes is the flagship show of the ILTM Collection and the year-end appointment that the luxury travel industry makes a point of attending. Over four days, the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès fills with exclusive hotel brands, standout destinations and travel advisors serving high-net-worth clients. The core of the event is pre-scheduled meetings: over 85,000 confirmed appointments each edition between hand-picked buyers and international exhibitors. Add to that the Opening Forum on the trends shaping the sector, educational sessions and a busy social programme with parties and networking events around the Riviera. If you run a hotel, resort or luxury destination, ILTM puts your offering in front of a tightly vetted audience. If you are a travel advisor or curator, it is the room where you can meet best-in-class suppliers and put together tailor-made itineraries for your clients. The venue sits steps from La Croisette, in the heart of Cannes, with Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) about 30 minutes away and strong TGV links from across France and Europe. Hotel rooms in the city sell out fast around those dates, so early booking is strongly recommended.
