“The hotel impresses with its lakeside setting and proximity to Annecy, particularly its well-regarded spa. While some interior design choices and service inconsistencies seem to detract from the luxury experience, the location and spa remain compelling reasons to consider a stay. I believe that a future renovation could elevate the property to fully match its prime location.”

elegant stay

the hotel provided a bottle of champagne and a delicious cake for our anniversary celebration. we were upgraded to a room, this offered fine views of the lake. the very large bed was super comfortable.
the brasserie staff in the evening demonstrated slow service, lacking basic competence. customer service did not meet expectations for an hotel with a superior reputation. we experienced a more positive contrast in service at a much cheaper hotel.

superb locationgood breakfastseparate showermissing balconypoor servicetop floor
the location is superb. i found the breakfast to be good. i also liked the bath and separate shower.
We had a room on the top floor, but it lacked a balcony. asking for a room with a balcony was possible, but it faced the side of the building. the service in the bar was very poor. There was actually no service.
