The Hotel Martinez Book

An illuminating and inspiring blend of biography, history, and unadulterated mayhem, Hotel Martinez is the essential, sweeping account of a hotel with a long-standing affair with the world’s most famous movie stars and industry moguls.  The Hotel Martinez, a beacon of luxury on the French Riviera, has long stood as the epitome of glamor and elegance, especially during the Cannes Film Festival. Yet, behind its opulent façade lies a story far richer and more compelling than any film shown within its vicinity—a narrative of ambition, war, love, and a fight for justice that spanned decades, centering around its founder, Emmanuel Michel Martinez.  Destined to become a modern classic, author Phillip M. Kenny dares to retell the incredible, varied story of a hotel with a front row to history.
