L'Impérial Palace

  • Price range: $$$$
  • Location: Annecy

Fodor's Review:

Though the Palace, across the lake from the town center, is Annecy's leading hotel, it lacks depth of character. In contrast to its Belle Époque exterior, the spacious, high-ceiling guest rooms are done in the subdued colors so loved by contemporary designers. The better rooms face the public gardens on the lake; waking up to breakfast on the terrace is a great way to start the day. Service is professional, but you pay for it. Fine cuisine is served in the stylish La Voile; the food in Le Jackpot Café, in the casino, is acceptable and less costly. Pros: beautiful location; splendid rooms; superior cuisine. Cons: sluggish to haughty service; overpriced; lacks warmth.
