Known for its film festival, Cannes is the French Riviera's "swankiest Mediterranean resort", says Elle. Rub shoulders with the glitterati without breaking the bank with this offer from the Hotel Cannes Riviera, where rooms are now less than half price at £49 per night including breakfast.

The deal is valid for single or double occupancy in a Club Room, seven days a week until 31 March, 2013. There is free Wi-Fi available for all guests and the hotel's rooftop pool has panoramic views of the coast and surrounding town.

The 4-star property is in the heart of Cannes, close to the beachfront La Croisette promenade and the Palais des Festivals, where films are screened during May's International Film Festival.

Prices do not include a local 2.60€ (£2) tax per person, per night, which will be charged on checkout.

Book by 28 November.

Not available on 3-6 December; 25-29 January, 11-15 March.
