This hotel was beautiful, we were lucky to get a room with a patio that overlooked the lake. The grounds are gorgeous and walkable into town. One of our favorite hotels!
What a glorious spot!
Our lake-view room was beautiful -- lots of light, unbelievable view, super spotless, and a towel warmer in the bathroom (with bath AND shower!!!!) that I wanted to take home with me.
Wonderfully welcoming staff and exceptional room service.... can't recommend more highly!!!

Beautiful hotel with a view of the Alps!
Wonderful amenities and excellent staff!
Excellent check in, very professional staff, loved the little extras like the turn down service and bottles of water every day, secure parking, quality meals. We had a fabulous stay - thank you to everyone.
Beautiful hotel in front of the lake.
They kindly provided information via email even before our stay and promptly replied to our questions about parking.
The room was well-appointed, and the view was wonderful.
Some staff at the spa and restaurant weren't friendly, and the room wasn't cleaned on the 2nd day, so I'd give it 4 stars.
We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and plan on going back. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was clean and the food was wonderful.
Really enjoyed our stay here, beautiful hotel. We were given an upgrade and had a bottle of champagne in our room to celebrate our special occasion. Staff were all so nice. Perfect spot on Lake Annecy. Will definitely be back
Everything was perfect from being allowed to check in 2 hours earlier, to having a room upgrade also with a lake view and balcony. Even given extra water & artisans fudge on the turn down service. Perfect perfect perfect
Amazing view with lake view room! Quiet. Wonderfully relaxing spa. Nice restaurant with outdoor seating. Comfortable bed in really well situated room. The staff were polite and efficient.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property, even got to meet the general manager and the concierge staff were amazing, arranged all of our tours for us and showed us around and how to get to old town which was so memorable stopped by there for lunch breakfast and dinner every day Very memorable trip
Five Star hotel and service. We stayed for our anniversary and the hotel was incredibly generous with their welcome gift. The view from the room was simply gorgeous. I can't wait to come back to this hotel and would highly recommend it for the most romantic getaway.
