Hôtel du Palais de l'Isle Review

Steps away from the lake, in the heart of Old Annecy, this delightful small hotel directly overlooks one of the most enchanting corners of town (if not Europe). Guest rooms have views of the "prow" of magical Palais de l'Isle, and, without destroying the building's ancient feel, they have a cheery, contemporary look thanks to their Philippe Starck furnishings; rooms, however, are on the small size as reflected by the rates. Though the area is pedestrian-only, you can drive up to unload luggage by buzzing the intercom and requesting that they lower the bollard at the entrance to Rue Perrière.
