Mercure Annecy Centre  

In the heart of Annecy, between the lake and the train station and a short walk from the old town. Steps from Notre-Dame-de-Liesse, Palais de l'Isle and Théâtre Bonlieu, this 4-star city-center spot is ideal for sightseeing and quick city breaks.

Rooms are styled around the colors of the lake with modern, design-led décor — some are spacious, others attic-style under the eaves. All 39 air-conditioned rooms feature minibars, city-view windows for morning coffee, satellite TV and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries.

On-site restaurant and bar, a tour desk to help plan excursions, and complimentary wireless internet throughout. Practical touches include an elevator, laundry and dry-cleaning services, a safe-deposit box and access to a doctor when needed.

High-speed internet and in-room desks keep work moving. A 24-hour front desk, complimentary newspapers in the lobby and reliable laundry services make business stays straightforward.

Gourmet buffet breakfasts spotlighting local producers and regional flavors (breakfast may carry a fee). The restaurant serves local cuisine and the bar is a relaxed spot for evening drinks after exploring the old town.
