Presentation

In the heart of a peaceful neighborhood, just steps away from the lively streets of Annecy and a five-minute walk from the train station, Hotel Les Terrasses welcomes travelers in a soft and refined atmosphere. For several generations, this family-run establishment has cultivated a certain idea of hospitality, based on simplicity, discreet attention, and a genuine eye for detail. Set back from busy roads, the building houses an unexpected tree-lined garden – a true haven of freshness on sunny days, a surprising discovery in this otherwise bustling part of the city.

The ambiance of the hotel strikes a well-balanced harmony between modernity and Savoyard inspiration. The communal areas, such as the lounge and the reception, convey a sense of calm and conviviality. The interior design emphasizes clean lines, understated decor, discreet alpine touches, and soft lighting that contribute to the overall harmony. Outside, several shaded terraces extend this sense of well-being and invite guests to relax.

The rooms, spread across several floors accessible by elevator, are suitable for both business trips and family holidays. Their layout prioritizes space, comfort, and functionality while maintaining a warm atmosphere. The choice of contemporary furniture is complemented by occasional nods to alpine chalets. Soundproofing, high-quality bedding, and air conditioning ensure rest, both day and night.

Each room is equipped with a private bathroom, a desk, a flat-screen TV, a safe, a mini-fridge, and a courtesy tray. A wardrobe, a telephone, and free Wi-Fi complete the amenities. Some rooms can accommodate up to four people, making them a popular choice for families. Baby cots are available on request at no extra charge.

In the morning, a breakfast buffet is offered in the dedicated room, on the terrace, or even in the guest’s room. The selection emphasizes variety, with a focus on local products and simple flavors. The option to sit outside, under the trees or on lounge chairs, extends the moment and encourages a leisurely pace.

In summer, the garden becomes a living space in its own right. Guests enjoy settling there to read, have a drink, or simply relax in the calm at the end of the day. This carefully maintained landscaped garden adds an unexpected dimension to the hotel, reinforcing the impression of a preserved haven in the heart of the city.

For travelers on the move, the hotel offers bike rental services, both classic and electric, as well as a bar service featuring cocktails and regional wines. A few seminar packages are also available for professional groups, with suitable accommodations and quiet spaces.

A private parking lot, accessible by reservation and for an additional fee, facilitates the stay for motorists. Its presence in this central neighborhood is a significant advantage, as is the immediate proximity to the train station, bus lines, and pedestrian shopping streets.

Hotel Les Terrasses strives to offer a seamless, restful, and uncomplicated stay. The team, present at reception, is available to arrange a taxi ride, recommend an activity, or book a table. Three languages are fluently spoken, simplifying communication with international visitors.

The overall ambiance of the establishment encourages guests to slow down. It embodies the spirit of a well-maintained space, where guests are never anonymous. This blend of accessibility, discretion, and comfort makes it a memorable and highly recommended address.

From the hotel, exploring Annecy naturally unfolds on foot. Within about ten minutes, you can reach the lake, its quays, or the initial slopes of the Jardins de l’Europe. Venturing into the Old Town, you’ll pass by canals, flower-decked bridges, and colorful facades that give Annecy its unique charm.

The Château d’Annecy, perched on the heights, awaits for a visit combining history and panoramic views. Converted into a museum, it features temporary exhibitions and collections related to regional art, alpine archaeology, and art objects. Not far away, the Palais de l’Île, recognizable by its triangular shape on the water, offers a glimpse into the city’s judicial past.

For culture enthusiasts, the Museum of Animated Film, integrated into the castle, highlights the importance of the International Festival that enlivens Annecy every June. Meanwhile, the Bonlieu Center offers theater, music, or dance performances year-round in a venue with remarkable acoustics.

If you’re seeking a nature getaway, several hiking trails begin near the city center. You can walk or bike along the lakeshore, ascend to Semnoz for a bird’s-eye view of the Annecy basin, or explore the forest trails on the opposite shore. The hotel’s bike rental service proves to be a practical starting point for these explorations.

Hotel Les Terrasses embodies a tradition of simple and sincere hospitality while offering guests the amenities of a modern establishment. Its calming garden, central location, and thoughtfully designed rooms make it both a discreet and charming base for discovering Annecy under optimal conditions.
