"Classy hotel, at least from 5th floor a view to the lake, not unobstructed and lake is maybe 300m away. There is unbuilt lot in front of the hotel on the other side of the street and behind that starts a park. Our room had the view, the windows (that can be opened) though are not huge. Hotel is at walking distance from the canals, for a fit person takes like 5min direct or bit more walking by the sea.
Parking under the hotel tight space as usual in France, but works. Not too many places, book. Breakfast not too cheap 28eur, but good, also you can sit at the 2nd floor terrace outdoors. Same place for the restaurant (we had dinner) which was on the expensive side but nice, personnel friendly everywhere. Boulangerie inside the hotel, some people had smaller breakfast using its items. Pool, yes there is and it is heated, maybe too much even. The usual ‘I’ll sneak by towel on the sunbed at sunrise and see if you will come later’, but not too much. Obviously screaming children and the area is not that big, swim rather in the lake. We went to the pool around 4pm, but managed after all the find a sunbed, unfortunately many with towels, but towel owner elsewhere.
Annecy is touristic I noticed (even in May), lake is beautiful, there are swimming places, do that. Took a 1h cruise, guy only spoke French, fell asleep.
So Pelican, we paid 200eur for lake view in May, which I think was very reasonable price."
