‘The White Lotus’ Has Found Its Perfect Hotel
The Hôtel Martinez in Cannes, a historic luxury hotel, has been chosen as the primary filming location for the fourth season of HBO's 'The White Lotus,' capturing the essence of glamour and chaos central to the series. Unlike previous seasons that used Four Seasons resorts, the Martinez brings its own storied identity as part of Hyatt’s Unbound Collection. The hotel’s long-standing role as a hub for celebrities and spectacle during the Cannes Film Festival makes it a fitting backdrop for the show’s satirical take on wealth and privilege.
- ▪The Hôtel Martinez, opened in 1929, has been a defining symbol of the French Riviera’s luxury and social scene for decades.
- ▪It is part of the Hyatt Unbound Collection, which features independent luxury hotels with distinct identities.
- ▪The hotel will receive the majority of screen time in 'The White Lotus' season four, despite another property also being featured.
- ▪Martinez has hosted generations of celebrities, influencers, and film industry figures during the Cannes Film Festival.
- ▪Unlike past 'White Lotus' seasons filmed at Four Seasons resorts, this season highlights a hotel already steeped in cinematic and cultural history.
