Le Pélican

Pros +

• The pool was heated to 31 degrees which meant we were able to use it on a rather cold and rainy day which my 6 year old loved - open 8am-8pm. The location was great - just a few minutes walk into the old town and the boats for the lake tours. Off street parking was also available. The family mezzanine rooms were new and very well equipped. We particularly liked the loo on the mezzanine level which means you dont need to tackle stairs in the middle of the night for those upstairs. A free cot was provided - its the first time we have been provided with a sleep suit for the baby in a hotel. Although we didnt pay for a lake view our room did have a view of the lake through an old tree which was lovely. The photos I saw online made this look like a bit of a soulless new build - not a fair reflection. The part of the hotel we were in was in fact an older building which I thought had been well restored. There is restaurant, cafe and boulongerie on site.
• Could not have asked for a better hotel during our first trip to Annecy. A short walk from the main town centre. Hotel facilities are excellent, the heated pool was great. We used the hotel restaurant on a couple of occasions and the food was excellent. The hotel also offers an electric bike hire service to tour the lake which we would recommend.
• Lovely meal , great location

Cons -

• I am knit picking here but the stairs to the mezzanine level were metal and a little noisy. There was storage below them and as such one had to be careful not to hit ones head against them when accessing this.
