Impérial Palace

Lakefront Belle Époque palace where dogs join you at dinner

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A 1913 palace on its own lakeside park at Albigny, on the eastern shore of Lake Annecy, with the Cristal spa, a casino and the Imperial congress centre next door. The hotel runs a dedicated pet-friendly programme all year. It suits a lake break where you want a proper restaurant table with the dog beside you. The old town is about half an hour on foot along the water.

Dogs can join you at La Table restaurant and Le Salon bar, inside or on the terrace. The Cristal spa (which holds the pool), the casino and the congress centre are off limits. Your dog can wait in the room while you're at the spa or casino.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
