Presentation

Just a few steps are enough to reach the hotel from the train station, and yet, once inside, the city's hustle and bustle fades away. You enter a place where every detail seems designed to combine a gentle lifestyle, comfort, and vitality. The Novotel Annecy Centre offers this discreet haven, just steps from the lake, allowing you to enjoy Annecy without compromising accessibility and well-being.

The first impression comes from the contrast between the outside hustle and the calm atmosphere reigning in the lobby. The contemporary lines, wooden touches, and nods to the mountain universe give the whole space an elegant yet relaxed feel. This is not an impersonal hotel: it is a place that embraces its alpine identity with modernity.

You reach your room through a quiet hallway. Inside, the space is generous and well-arranged. A large headboard decorated with a mountain landscape sets the tone. You can unpack, stretch out, turn on the TV, or simply settle comfortably in the lounge area. Some rooms feature a wellness kit, complete with a bathrobe and slippers, as well as a complimentary minibar for an instant relaxation break.

If you're traveling with children, you'll find that everything is designed for them. The convertible sofa accommodates the youngest, breakfast is free for them, and baby cots are available upon request. Family rooms ensure everyone has their own space without feeling cramped, making group stays easier and more enjoyable.

Food lovers will take pleasure in discovering the morning buffet. Fresh pastries, waffles, scrambled eggs, various cereals, freshly squeezed juices: a wide selection awaits you in the sunlit dining room. And if you prefer the tranquility of your room, breakfast delivery is an option.

At lunch or dinner, you can take a seat at the restaurant The Craic. The vibe is relaxed, and local products are celebrated. The menu offers indulgent, modern dishes, and the service is attentive without being overbearing. In the warmer months, the terrace becomes a lively scene: enjoy meals outdoors, toast glasses, and sometimes play pétanque under the trees.

The bar, open all day, extends this friendly ambiance. The cocktails are well-crafted, the welcome is straightforward, and it’s a great spot to relax after a walk or a meeting. On certain evenings, DJ sets or concerts enliven the space without ever disturbing the tranquility of the rooms.

In terms of amenities, the establishment doesn't forget professional travelers. Bright meeting rooms and a 130-seat amphitheater facilitate the organization of seminars in an efficient yet pleasant setting. An unconventional meeting room, designed as a "freestyle" space, breaks the mold to provide a more creative environment. For those wishing to work independently, coworking spaces are available within the hotel.

Between appointments or after a day of sightseeing, the fitness room offers a good excuse to stretch your legs. The equipment is modern, the hours flexible, and the atmosphere conducive to a revitalizing break.

The hotel also provides some everyday appreciated services: an electric vehicle charging station, a souvenir shop, laundry service, express check-out... Free Wi-Fi covers the entire establishment, and the paid underground parking solves any parking concerns.

Without being ostentatious, the service remains attentive. You can ask questions at the reception 24/7, enjoy personalized assistance, and feel that everything is being done to ensure your stay goes smoothly. Traveler feedback often praises the staff's availability.

From the hotel, the city is yours to explore on foot. A few minutes are all it takes to reach the cobblestone streets of the old town, the market, café terraces, or the canal banks. The nearby lake invites you to stroll or relax, depending on your mood.

Nature enthusiasts can plan a boat trip or a hike around the lake. In winter, ski lovers will find joy with regular shuttles to nearby resorts. Upon return, the hotel terrace becomes a welcome retreat, especially with a brazier and a drink in hand.

For those who enjoy museums, a visit to the Palais de l'Île or the animation film museum is a must. Temporary exhibitions often offer delightful surprises and provide another perspective on the city.

Regarding gastronomy, there are several nearby restaurants to discover. The restaurant *L’Etage* offers revisited Savoyard cuisine in an intimate setting. *Le Freti*, for cheese lovers, is a landmark for fondue or raclette. And if you're seeking a more contemporary experience, *La Table d’Élise* combines precision and creativity on the plate.

In the evening, you can attend a show at the Bonlieu Theater or a concert at Brise Glace, a flagship venue on the local scene. For more informal nights, several wine bars and lively establishments await around the canal.

Staying at the Novotel Annecy Centre means choosing a comfortable, functional, and welcoming base that allows you to experience the city with ease and enjoyment. Whether you're visiting for a few days of vacation, a business meeting, or an impromptu weekend, you'll find a sense of balance here: between the energy of the center and the calm of the lake, between efficient services and a relaxed atmosphere.

The hotel doesn’t try to overdo it, and that’s its strength: it gives you the space to experience Annecy at your own pace, with simplicity, care, and comfort.
