Cannes, France

Hotel Le Gray d’Albion, Cannes
September 1 – 5, 2026

Cannes, France is a popular destination known for its glamorous film
festival, beautiful beaches, and luxurious hotels, making it a great place to
experience the French Riviera. Cannes is a very walkable city and one of the
best cities to visit when exploring the French Riviera without a car. Cannes
train station is right in the city center, a ten-minute walk from the port, the
beach, and the main screening areas for the Cannes Film Festival.

W.A.D 101st Annual will be held at Hotel Le Gray d’Albion, located near the
luxury boutiques of the legendary Croisette and cultural activities. It offers
an enchanting experience, where every moment exudes the charm and
sophistication of the Riviera. A serene atmosphere and refined elegance
make this hotel a haven of indulgence. Its private beach, Mademoiselle Gray,
offers gourmet moments, water sports, and leisurely relaxation throughout
the day. Adjacent to Le Gray d’Albion, the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic shares
its Diane Barrière Spa and its Kids’ Club. Our Gala Banquet will be at the
Martinez and we have access to their beach and beach restaurant.

Block your date September 1-5, 2026, as we unwind
after celebrating our 100th anniversary in Chicago.
