We\u2019d like to bet it\u2019s probably not as much as Tom Cruise did while he was at Cannes Film Festival. The 62-year-old truly splashed the cash with his French pad, reportedly spending an eye-watering $8.7k a night on his hotel room while he was in town for the screening of the final Mission Impossible film, The Final Reckoning.<\/p>\n So, just where was Tom staying on the Crosiette? If you\u2019ve ever seen a postcard of Cannes, you might recognise the famous Carlton Cannes, an iconic landmark which originally opened its doors in 1913 (and underwent a meticulous restoration in 2023). But the Belle \u00c9poque hotel doesn\u2019t just look pretty – in limestone, stucco and pink marble \u2013 it boasts a luxury spa and gym, Cannes\u2019 largest infinity pool and Michelin-star-quality dining (there\u2019s a Turkish restaurant, beach club and a Mediterranean brasserie). And outside, it has its own private beach and pier.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/carlton.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ alt=”Carlton Hotel Cannes” title_text=”www.romeobalancourt.fr”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] \u2018I often hear people compare the Carlton to the Eiffel Tower,\u2019 Carlton Hotel general manager Pierre-Louis Renou tells The Hollywood Reporter. \u2018On one hand, it\u2019s gigantic, but on the other so immaculate. It\u2019s kind of a monument to the glamour of Cannes.\u2019<\/p>\n Unsurprisingly, the stunning hotel is a hit with movie stars \u2013 with Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Lorena and Gene Kelly all staying behind its famous walls. And Brigette Bardot caused an uproar in 1953, when she posed in a bikini on the Carlton beach \u2013 launching the two-piece swimming costume into public consciousness.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/katara-suite-terrace-sea-view-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730-1.jpg” alt=”Carlton Hotel Cannes” title_text=”katara-suite-terrace-sea-view-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730″ _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_code][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] This year, Tom hasn\u2019t been the only A-lister at the Carlton, Diane Kruger and Pedro Pascal checked in to the hotel, probably also in very fancy suites. In homage to its starry history, the \u2018iconic suites\u2019 at the hotel are all named after film legends: Sean Connery, Grace Kelly, Alfred Hitchcock and Cary Grant. (The Cary Grant and Alfred Hitchcock suites got their names as the hotel featured in 1955 romantic thriller To Catch A Thief.)<\/p>\n But the hotel\u2019s most expensive suite is the Katara, on the top floor of the hotel \u2013 and we can see why it\u2019s the most in-demand room in Cannes. Spacious and light, with two bedrooms, two marble-decked bathrooms and two terraces, the 352 square meter suite offers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean. It\u2019s a home away from the home from the superrich, as the suite includes a study, a dressing, a lounge and a dining room.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/katara-suite-lounge-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730-1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ alt=”Tom Cruise hotel suite” title_text=”katara-suite-lounge-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] There\u2019s also a living room where you can play a match of table football, or watch Netflix on the absolutely huge TV. But if you really want to pamper yourself, you can kick back and relax in the height of luxury: a private sauna. Ooh la la.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/katara-suite-bedroom-1-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730-1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ title_text=”katara-suite-bedroom-1-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″] But if you\u2019re not willing to spend a few thousand dollars a night, there are more affordable rooms in the hotel, with rates starting at $320. And with light and airy white colour schemes, those rooms are still pretty dreamy.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/flatplan-plus-content.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2025\/05\/katara-suite-bedroom-1-bathroom-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730-1.jpg” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” theme_builder_area=”post_content” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″ alt=”Tom Cruise hotel suite” title_text=”katara-suite-bedroom-1-bathroom-carlton-cannes-richard-haughton-610×730″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Hotel rooms aren\u2019t the only thing Tom has been spending big money on \u2013 as his relationship with Ana De Armas seems to be going from strength to strength. After the pair attended David Beckham\u2019s glitzy 50th birthday together, he reportedly spent a wild $11,590 chartering his private helicopter from London to Heathrow airport for her return flight. \u2018Tom wants Ana to know she can have the best of the best and doesn\u2019t think twice about the bill,\u2019 a source told The Sun. ‘He\u2019s a total gent and just wants to do right by Ana. If that means splashing the cash then so be it.’<\/p>\n According to another source, the pairing must be the real deal, otherwise he wouldn\u2019t have taken Ana to the footballer\u2019s bash at three Michelin-star restaurant Core in London. \u2018Tom has known David for 25 years. There is no way he would bring someone to David\u2019s 50th unless it was serious,\u2019 the source told The Mail on Sunday. \u2018Tom\u2019s not that kind of guy. People at the party were talking about how it must be serious if Tom invited Ana to join him at such an intimate event. Everyone else was there with their wives and husbands.\u2019<\/p>\n And, while at the New York City premiere for the latest Mission Impossible flick, Tom broke his silence on the blossoming relationship. Speaking about Ana, he told Extra she\u2019s \u2018very talented\u2019 as well as a \u2018great dramatic actress\u2019, who\u2019s \u2018comedic, [with] tremendous ability [and] learns quickly\u2019. This comes after Ana confirmed she is working with Tom and directors Doug Liman and Christopher McQuarrie on \u2018a few projects\u2019. ‘It\u2019s so much fun,\u2019 she told Good Morning America. \u2018We\u2019re definitely working on a lot of things.’ She then flashed a smile and said: \u2018And I\u2019m so excited.\u2019<\/p>\n We bet. Maybe he\u2019ll check in to the Carlton with Ana soon? <\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Photo: <\/b>Getty\/Carlton Hotel Cannes<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Any room, Tom?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":9968,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9955","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature","category-news"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"guestgrazia","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9955"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10014,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9955\/revisions\/10014"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
