About this stay
The Impérial Palace stands grandly on the edge of Lake Annecy, offering a refined stay with the French Alps as a dramatic backdrop. Guests can expect air-conditioned comfort and the choice of rooms with balconies that open up to either the serene lake and mountains or the peaceful park. The hotel's spa provides a tranquil escape, while the casino adds a touch of excitement. Dining is a highlight, with a formal restaurant on a shaded terrace offering lake views and a more relaxed brasserie. The bar and lounge are perfect for enjoying homemade pastries, snacks, or a full buffet breakfast to start the day.
- Lakefront setting
- Spa and casino on site
- Air-conditioned rooms
- Balconies with views
Our take
I would pick the Impérial Palace when the lake view is the priority and you want a full-service four-star: spa, casino, a terrace above the water and a more relaxed brasserie. An 8.9 rating from nearly 3,900 reviews is excellent. Ask for a lake-view balcony, since some rooms face the park instead. Guests who prefer a small, quiet house will find the casino and several restaurants livelier than they want.
- ✓Choose a room with a lake-view balcony for the most memorable experience.
- ✓Take advantage of the spa facilities for a relaxing afternoon after exploring Annecy.
- ✓Enjoy dinner on the shaded terrace to fully appreciate the lakeside setting.

Why guests love itThe lakeshore setting is what makes the Impérial Palace work for families: the shaded terrace overlooks Lake Annecy, and many rooms have balconies with lake or park views, a pleasure when children are asleep and the evening is still young. Rooms are air-conditioned, and the casual brasserie is an easy option with children alongside the terrace restaurant. The spa suits parents taking turns, and the casino is strictly for the adults.
