Palace de Menthon (Menthon-Saint-Bernard, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) 1 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"It’s clear at a glance that Le Palace de Menthon is no newcomer to the Lake Annecy luxury-hotel scene; this early-20th-century edifice is a slice of old-world heaven right by the water’s edge. And while its historical romance is still very much in evidence, it’s seen some substantial upgrades, and is today on a level with the best 21st-century luxury hotels — though with a character few of them can match." - Tablet Hotels

We had a wonderful stay at the Palace de Menthon. The location is absolutely gorgeous, right on the lake with stunning mountain views and easy access to a private walking path along the water. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. Breakfast was excellent with a great variety and a lovely setting. The hotel feels peaceful and secluded, yet it’s just a short drive from charming Old Town Annecy. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Truly a perfect experience – we would love to return

Our family room surpassed all our expectations. It was huge and had amazing panoramic views. The room was clean and housekeeping did a great job keeping it tidy. The beautiful pool was quite large and heated, although the surface was a little rough. Pool amenities were great as well. Breakfast was delicious. The only downside is the main car access gate can only be opened by calling reception, but the intercom panel is hard to reach and the button is not very responsive.

Really beautifull huge lovely old charming “grand hotel” but in urgent need of TLC. It’s a shame that with its location and |Beauty and glamour it does not offer more amenities than on its former glory and clearly needs to be modernised. Rooms are very very small. Staff is way far to be friendly (but correct and polite). Staff barely speaks English (or they pretend to but doesn’t really understand you). Bar close early. Top views…from tiny rooms 🤷🏻‍♂️🤣. Restaurant very average and not cheap. Hotel prices a bit expensive to what they offer (at least these days with all others around there). Definitely for people below 90 y/o….it has to be said that it will be a boring place! We were few friends with 20 rooms in mid July and we all had the sensation to be on a nursing home more than on a luxury hotel in the heat of the summer. But… Certainly an excellent place to be relaxed and really away from stress. And with “a view to a kill”. Nothing against the place but Anyway next year we will choose a different option more modernised and with more proactive staff (or at least staff that can speak English). We can indeed recommend this hotel, as makes sense, but only for a short and “once in the life” visit.

I have to be picky when it comes to a 5* hotel. Bed was comfortable and rooms were clean and tidy. I would have liked to have slightly bigger rooms, but I guess this is a limitation of being a older building I guess. Also, some nights you could hear people waking up earlier etc. walls are not that thin, but you can hear ppl around especially at night. Here I love to sleep in complete silence at home so I might be more sensitive to noise. Staff was always lovely, and they all speak english fluently ( this is very much appreciated ). Would be nice to have: 1. Access to the swimming pool is quite inconvenient as you have to walk outside downstairs. You get some awkward looks from people in the dining area as you pass in your robe towards the swimming pool. That’s why we only went once during our stay (we were here in december). Maybe during summer it is not as bad. It would be nice to have a more convenient access. 2. Wifi is not that good, I tested it and I got around 10mbs download speed. While it works well sometimes, mostly during evening (when probably everyone want to relax and watch some netflix on their devices) it gets quite bad. Watching youtube/netflix gets frequent stutterings. Another thing to note, the TV does not have netflix/youtube. You can only watch french TV channels… so for us it was just a piece of furniture on the walls. If you want to enjoy some netflix be sure to bring your personal device ( tablet / laptop ). All in all we had a good relaxing vacation staying here. Thanks for having us!

Great weekend break on the shores of lake Annecy. Location and hotel are first class. Well worth it. Some improvements. Room and Pool were a little cold (December) Breakfast buffet was great, but hot food ran out (Sunday) Evening bar food menu was limited

This property does not meet 5-star standards, let alone the “Palace” label. We spent nearly €3,000 for two nights over New Year, and the gap between price, promise and actual experience was significant. Key points: cold and uninviting bar, spa without sauna, jacuzzi or heated pool in winter, no Wi-Fi in the gym, no real valet service, long waits at the bar on New Year’s Eve, imposed table placement despite a prior request, very limited activities in winter, and a service that is mostly “available on request” rather than proactive. The most disappointing part was the handling of complaints: detailed feedback was shared during the stay and again afterwards, with no response from general management and only a (very very) symbolic gesture offered. In short: a 4-star experience sold at palace prices. We will not return and we don't recommend

Here is the translation into English, with improved flow, clarity, and a polished tone suitable for a hotel review:||My husband and I stayed at the hotel for just one night. The hotel’s facilities are excellent — everything is newly renovated, well maintained, and very comfortable.||When we arrived for check-in, we were asked whether we would like to reserve a table for dinner. Since we were not sure about our schedule, we explained that we would spend the day in the city and decide later.||When we returned, we showered and got ready for dinner. I called the front desk to ask if it would still be possible to make a reservation and was told no. Once we were ready, we went to the restaurant anyway, but were immediately told that they could not accommodate us. We even asked if it might be possible in case of a no-show, but the answer was still no.||Our only option was to leave the hotel and drive into the city, which is not close (at least a 15-minute drive). As we were leaving, we noticed several empty tables in the restaurant, which is entirely glass-walled.||To make matters worse, our car tire went flat on the way into the city, and we had to leave the car there. The next morning, I asked the front desk for a late check-out, but the answer was immediately no. I tried to explain our situation and the unexpected issue we were dealing with, but the best they could offer was one extra hour for an additional €50.||In summary, while we had a very good experience in terms of accommodations and breakfast, the rest was disappointing. At the moment when we most needed support, even as hotel guests, we felt there was a complete lack of empathy.

Set in an idyllic spot overlooking lake Annecy, this is the perfect retreat for a week-end. Everything here is fine, although I have to say that while the rooms are very sobre with regards to the hotel's standing and price, the swimming pool is one of the most beautiful I've seen in my life. The restaurant is also great, although some little imperfections (typos in the menu, careless waiters, prevent it from being a true gem, and hence does not make the 5 stars I would have otherwise granted it.
