27 Rue Sommeiller, 74000 Annecy
When arriving in Annecy, the charm of the city immediately captivates. Venturing into the bustling shopping streets, one discovers a discreet address yet resolutely focused on comfort: a hotel with clean lines and sincere hospitality, just a few steps from the peaceful shores of the lake and the ancient alleys. Hôtel Le Pré Carré, without showing off, hints at a certain art of living from the moment you enter, marked by understated elegance, welcome tranquility, and discreet attentions.
The atmosphere of the place is felt within the first few minutes. Behind the contemporary façade hides a refined interior, where light wood meets warm tones and carefully designed lighting. The lounge, with its fireplace, invites you to settle in for a moment, whether for tea or an impromptu meeting. It feels detached from the hustle and bustle, wrapped in a soft and cozy bubble.
You then access your room via a silent elevator. The space is generous and perfectly arranged. Every element seems designed to combine comfort and discretion: plush bedding, an elegant desk, a spacious bathroom with separate toilets, adjustable air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and integrated storage. Nothing is superfluous, nothing is missing.
In the quiet of these soundproofed rooms, it is easy to forget that you are staying in the heart of the city. From some windows, you might glimpse the old rooftops, trees lining the lake, or the quiet buzz of the neighborhood. At dawn, the light gently filters in, and the idea of a savory breakfast becomes an obvious delight.
Served until 11 a.m., the buffet highlights local products, often from organic farming. Regional cheeses, crusty bread, fresh fruits, artisanal jams… You can choose to enjoy it in the dining room or in the privacy of your room. The pace is set according to your desires, without constraints or haste.
After a day of strolling or meetings, the wellness area becomes a cherished refuge. From 3 p.m. to 11 p.m., you have access to the sauna and jacuzzi at no extra charge, for a complete moment of relaxation. The body unwinds, thoughts slow down. In this dimly lit cocoon, time stretches between hot steam and soothing silence.
To extend this pause, the lounge bar welcomes you in the evening. A few comfortable armchairs, soft lighting, and that gently crackling fireplace. You exchange a few words, leaf through a book, or simply savor a drink as the day quietly winds down.
Business travelers find here a setting tailored to their needs: two modular meeting rooms accommodating up to 30 people, a business center, high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the property, and a discreet workspace in each room. The service remains attentive, and the logistics seamless.
The private underground parking, equipped with charging stations for electric vehicles, is a notable advantage, especially for longer stays or those planning to explore the area by car. The reception, available at all hours, ensures that every arrival and departure runs smoothly.
The location, for its part, allows you to experience Annecy on foot, freely. Stepping out, you reach the lake in just a few steps, wander through the old town streets, explore art galleries, markets, or designer boutiques. The rhythm adjusts to your mood: active or contemplative, curious or indulgent.
Couples appreciate the gentle atmosphere of the place for a getaway for two, professionals find a haven to recharge between meetings, and solo travelers enjoy hospitality that respects both privacy and human connection. Le Pré Carré lends itself to all ways of experiencing the city.
A few minutes’ walk away, don’t miss the lake’s shores, perfect for a sunrise stroll or an impromptu picnic. Following the Vassé canal, you’ll reach the Pont des Amours and the Jardins de l’Europe. The air is pure, the view clear, and the horizon invites contemplation.
Art enthusiasts can visit the Palais de l’Île or the Château d’Annecy, both within walking distance. The former, set on the water, houses a captivating museum on the city’s history, while the latter offers a splendid panorama from its ramparts. These places embody the soul of Annecy with simplicity and strength.
As for gastronomy, there is no shortage of great addresses. Sit down at La Bicyclette Rose, just across from the hotel, for creative cuisine served in a relaxed atmosphere. Treat yourself to a fondue at Le Freti, a few streets away, or discover the flavorful dishes of L’Esquisse, a sought-after spot for its finesse.
If you like venturing off the beaten path, climb to the Basilica of the Visitation to admire Annecy from above, or rent a bike to ride along the shores to Sévrier or Duingt. In winter, nearby ski resorts offer a completely different setting, while in summer, the lake invites you to swim or take a peaceful cruise.
Le Pré Carré is not a hotel that seeks to charm at all costs. It welcomes you simply, with that quiet elegance that lingers. It offers a well-maintained setting, an ideal location, and thoughtful touches that make your stay smooth, pleasant, almost effortless. Here, you experience Annecy as you dreamed of it: at your own pace, in comfort, without ever feeling like a stranger.
