Just a few steps from Annecy train station, in a lively and pleasant street, you will discover an address that combines the understated elegance of a 1930s establishment with contemporary comfort designed to offer you a restful retreat. By stepping through the doors of the Best Western Plus Hotel Carlton, you enter a world where every detail seems crafted to make your stay simple and enjoyable, whether you are here for a business meeting or to enjoy the serene shores of the lake.

The hotel's location makes getting around easy. Whether you arrive by train, car, or public transport, everything is close at hand: the train station, taxi stand, bus network, and even private garages available by reservation for those traveling by car. From the moment you arrive, the quick access to the old town, restaurants, shops, and lake shores allows you to immediately feel connected to the city, without compromise.

Behind its well-kept façade, the hotel reveals 55 air-conditioned and soundproofed rooms, divided into several categories to suit your needs. Their simple and bright decor, sometimes accented with bolder colors or touches of wood, wraps you in a warm atmosphere without excess. The Classic rooms are suitable for one or two people with a comfortable double bed, while the Comfort and Superior rooms offer more space and twin or queen-size configurations. For a longer stay or a special moment, the Executive rooms provide more generous amenities, such as a wellness kit with bathrobes, slippers, and quality toiletries.

Some rooms offer glimpses of the surrounding peaks, a nod to the Alpine landscapes that envelop Annecy. All are equipped with what you would expect from an establishment of this category: flat-screen TV, minibar, courtesy tray with Nespresso coffee machine, safe, private bathroom with shower or bathtub. Discreet details, such as a well-positioned desk, reliable Wi-Fi connection, and adjustable air conditioning, add to the overall comfort.

In the morning, breakfast becomes a moment to savor slowly. Whether in the dining room or in your room, a generous buffet awaits, combining classic pastries with local products. Cheeses from Haute-Savoie, charcuterie, smoked salmon, fresh juices, and hot drinks allow you to compose your meal as you wish. A selection sure to delight both those with a sweet tooth and those who prefer a hearty start to the day.

During the day or evening, the lounge bar remains accessible for a tranquil break. It becomes a pleasant place to browse the press, relax with a drink, or unwind after a day of sightseeing or meetings. The staff, discreet yet always available, is happy to assist with your requests, whether arranging a taxi, recommending a restaurant, or handling a specific need.

The hotel also offers several appreciated services: a 24-hour reception, a meeting room for professional gatherings, a discreet business area with a printer, luggage storage, and laundry service. These thoughtful touches underscore a commitment to accommodating every visitor with flexibility, whether staying for one night or several.

The hotel's commitment to sustainability is reflected in its Green Key certification, a recognized initiative that attests to concrete efforts in sustainable development without impacting your comfort or experience.

Annecy, often referred to as the Venice of the Alps, is yours to explore as soon as you step outside the hotel. Within minutes on foot, you can access streets lined with canals, pastel-colored façades, sunny terraces, and the lively atmosphere of the old town center. Annecy Castle overlooks the city and is an easy visit, as is the Palais de l’Isle, an iconic building set in the middle of the Thiou River.

The lake's shores, accessible on foot, invite you to stroll along the Jardins de l’Europe, take a boat tour, or relax on the Pâquier lawn. Cycling enthusiasts can follow the greenway along the lake, while more adventurous visitors can explore the trails in the Bauges or Aravis mountains.

For a cultural outing, don't miss the Annecy Castle Museum or events at the Bonlieu Scène Nationale. If you're in town at the right time, the International Animation Film Festival or the Lake Festival will provide unforgettable memories.

As for gastronomy, there is no shortage of excellent options near the hotel. For reimagined Savoyard cuisine, visit the restaurant L’Etage, or opt for the convivial atmosphere of La Table d’Élise. Fish lovers will be delighted at Freti, while those seeking bold flavors will enjoy the creative dishes at Le Clocher.
