A beautiful and relaxing venue. We stayed four nights at the Imperial Palace. Our room was spacious, modern, immaculate and very comfortable. It's a short walk to the city center with lovely views of the town from the hotel. It is lake front and has an expansive lawn/gardens to wander or picnic on and you can easily go for a refreshing plunge in the lake.
The breakfast buffet was quite good, you really should try the French toast. It has a lovely carmelized crunch that just makes it delicious. The buffet offers a wide array of options for both decadent and healthy eaters.
The staff were friendly and helpful for the most part. Our only complaint corresponds to our first night, which followed a very long day of travel. A wedding or some type of very loud party with live music and a dj was allowed to play until 2 am. Yes, 2 am. We were understanding to midnight but 2 am seemed excessive. Our room was right above the party and there was no escape from the raucous noise. We wish we had been warned upon check-in. We were not offered any consolation for the disruption.
That said, we still had a lovely stay and Annecy will forever be on our must-visit list.
