Film culture walks in perfect step with the graceful hospitality of Regent Hotels. Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, has a rich legacy as the very first Cannes Film Festival in 1946 was hosted in the hotel’s old casino. This forged an unbreakable bond between the festival, the hotel and Hollywood and film royalty. An electric energy sparks fresh perspectives in the hotel lobby as stars make dramatic departures en route to the Red Carpet for this celebrated annual spectacle of cinema.
Hollywood photographer Julian Ungano, our Regent Photographer in Residence 2024 and 2025, was tasked to artistically capture rare and intimate moments inside the storied walls of the hotel during this year's film festival. Julian works with the next generation of icons who entrust him to shoot them in these most candid moments. He is an award-winning filmmaker and photographer operating at the intersection of entertainment and fashion.
Carlton Cannes, a Regent Hotel, has always been the iconic backdrop of this pinnacle event in film. Our storied past brings all the glamour, panache, and creativity into the future and beyond.
