The hotel has its own dining options, including the Lona restaurant by Chef Juan Arbelaez, a bar, a cafe, and a snack bar, so you can eat well without leaving the property. For a change of scene, the old town of Annecy, about a 22-minute walk away, is lined with many restaurants along the canals. You can also reach the Palais de l'Île area, 2.1 km away, where more dining choices await. The hotel's restaurant terrace overlooks Lake Annecy, making it a pleasant spot for a meal.
The hotel sits right on the shore of Lake Annecy, so you are steps from the water and the lakeside promenade. The immediate area is calm and residential, with the lake and green spaces close by. A 22-minute walk along the lake brings you to Pont des Amours, Le Pâquier, and the Jardins de l'Europe, where the old town begins. The historic center, with its canals and the Palais de l'Île, is about 2.1 km away, an easy stroll or short ride. The hotel's own restaurant, Le Ricochet, and its bar and snack bar offer lakeside dining on site.

From Lyon-Saint Exupéry, about 128 km away, a direct bus link reaches Annecy, and a private transfer can be arranged to the hotel. A taxi-boat from the centre of Annecy by the lake is another option.
In the evening, you can enjoy the hotel's own bar and restaurant, which overlook Lake Annecy, for a relaxed dinner or a drink.
