Presentation

Behind its discreet facades, in a peaceful tree-lined neighborhood of Annecy connected to the center by bus lines and a bike path, Hotel Novel invites you to discover a place where time is taken to offer a warm welcome. Just five minutes by car from the lake, this three-star establishment provides a serene alternative to the hustle and bustle of the city center without sacrificing access or amenities.

The sixty-eight rooms are designed to offer modern and functional comfort in a warm atmosphere. Parquet flooring, light wood, and soft tones complement quality bedding, and all rooms are air-conditioned. Some are designed to accommodate families with children, others are accessible for people with reduced mobility, and all benefit from good soundproofing.

Whether you're staying for a few days or an extended period, you'll find a setting suited to your needs, with a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and free Wi-Fi. It is also possible to request a baby cot or an extra bed, depending on your room configuration.

The hotel remains accessible at all times thanks to a 24-hour reception, and the on-site team, attentive and multilingual, is available to assist you regardless of the nature of your stay. Inside and out, everything seems designed to help you relax, unwind, and enjoy.

It is also a lively place, coming to life in the evening around the bar or the restaurant La Mamma, a well-known spot for its homemade cuisine. Here, you can enjoy Savoyard dishes, Italian specialties, local inspirations such as lake fish, and a generous menu that prioritizes quality ingredients. The setting is conducive to conviviality, especially in fine weather, when the two shaded terraces become a natural extension of the dining room.

The restaurant is open every evening from Monday to Saturday, as well as at lunchtime. It welcomes both passing guests and loyal customers and is equally suitable for a meal for two or a small group event. A buffet breakfast is also available in the dining room, offering a variety of sweet and savory options.

The venue also accommodates professionals. Three to four flexible meeting rooms can be used to host seminars, conferences, or gatherings, with adaptable layouts and suitable equipment. A banquet room can be made available, and a small nightclub is offered for certain private events.

The establishment is also welcoming to groups, whether they are on a tourist trip or an organized itinerary. Free coach parking is available nearby, and special packages are offered as part of tours exploring the Savoie region.

For cycling travelers, a secure storage area is available. For motorists, parking is facilitated by free public parking spaces nearby. A private garage option is also available for those who prefer it.

The hotel's general ambiance is based on a certain simplicity in hospitality and comfort, combined with a desire to do things well without pretense. This blend of modesty and sincere attentiveness creates a stay where you quickly feel at ease, whether you're staying for a few nights or a longer duration.

From Hotel Novel, it is easy to reach Annecy's main points of interest. Within minutes, you'll find yourself on the shores of the lake, with long promenades, managed beaches, and open views of the mountains. Lake Annecy can be explored on foot, by boat, pedalo, or bike, notably thanks to the greenway that runs alongside it.

Strolling toward the historic center, you can explore cobbled streets, walk along canals, and discover emblematic landmarks such as the Palais de l’Isle or the Château d’Annecy, both accessible in less than fifteen minutes by bus from the hotel. The city center is also a lovely destination for a morning walk, with its regular markets and colorful facades.

For culture enthusiasts, the Musée-Château offers exhibits focused on local history, contemporary art, or alpine art. Nearby, the animation film museum, linked to the Annecy Cinémathèque, will delight visitors of all ages, especially if your visit coincides with the International Animation Film Festival held each June.

If you enjoy panoramic views, head to the Col de la Forclaz or the Semnoz to admire the lake from above. These spots, easily accessible from Annecy, also offer opportunities for hiking or paragliding for the more adventurous.

By staying at Hotel Novel, you give yourself the freedom to explore Annecy as you wish while enjoying accessible, quiet, and well-surrounded accommodations. The comfort, hospitality, and discretion of this establishment make it a reliable base for discovering the region in excellent conditions.
