Marché du Film 2027 in Cannes: where to stay

The Marché du Film is the professional film market that takes place each May at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, running in parallel with the International Film Festival. For nine days, the Croisette becomes the global hub of the audiovisual industry, bringing together distribution, international sales, financing, production and new technologies under one roof. The gathering attracts buyers, sellers, producers, sales agents, platforms and institutional representatives from around the world. Alongside the rights market, the programme features market screenings, trend panels, pitching sessions for projects in development, networking areas and dedicated innovation spaces covering extended reality and new narratives. For attendees, staying close to the Palais des Festivals makes a real difference: activity starts early and runs late, with back-to-back meetings and side events spread across central Cannes. Hotel demand in the city during these dates is very high, so early booking is strongly recommended. Whether you are attending as press, an accredited professional or part of a delegation, booking accommodation within walking distance of the venue will help you make the most of your schedule and cut down on travel time.
