About this audio guide
This guide to the Hôtel Martinez in Cannes follows Emmanuel Martinez, the Palermo-born hotelier who opened his own palace on the Croisette in 1929, only months before Wall Street crashed. It moves through lean years, an introduction to a notorious wartime trader, and the Italian and German troops who took over the rooms. Stand on the promenade facing the facade, where the name he gave it is still in view.
