À l’arrivée nous découvrons que le parking n’est pas inclus dans la nuité (20€) en vu du prix de la chambre assez surprenant.
La chambre rien à dire très belle spacieuse belle prestation.
Lors de la réservation par téléphone il nous avait été indiqué que l’espace aquatique était interdit aux enfants donc aucunes affaires dans la valises. Arrivée à destination nous découvrons que les enfants ont accès la journée…
Nous avons souhaité dîner au snack de l’hôtel, temps d’attente (1h), pour ai final de ne pas voir tous les plats que nous avions commandé.
Une remise nous a alors été accordée sur l’ensemble de l’addition + sur le plat non consommé (merci).
Nous avions un bon pour la restauration que nous n’avons pas utiliser entièrement, le soir on nous indique que nous pourrons le déduire du supplément que nous devons à l’établissement pour la chambre, au final il a fallu débattre et s’énerver auprès de l’accueil au moment du départ (alors que les jeunes femmes n’y sont pour rien et que devant les gens nous détestons faire cela) pour au final ne pas perdre 40€ !
C’est dommage pour un établissement de ce standing qui nous avait été recommandé, mais manque de communication.
Encore une fois heureusement que la chambre est spacieuse et très jolie.
Well he would surely appreciate this new Rivage for its dreamy style and "state of the art" design.
The location needs no exaggeration.
Annecy town, recognized as France's premier place to live, is judged first in frequent magazine competitions. It has no equal, and is known as the "pearl of the Alps", sitting between huge dramatic mountains, facing south over its glittering and glamourous lake. The Rivage sits right by the lake front, gleaming in its reflection and a short walk from the center of Annecy's old town. Perfect for the famous outdoor markets, boutique shops, and historic castle.
But is "New" a good thing?
Well surprise and delight await the traveller on entering this sensuously designed hotel with a rich style. Your room is decked in solid wood with raised natural grain surfaces that are warm to the touch. Likewise the wood floor transitions seamlessly to a soft carpeted bed area. Slide the huge glass doors out on to a heavy natural teak decking, and a balcony view of the lake or mountains. Back inside the large bed is comfortably padded with a blizzard of white cotton duvet, sheets, and pillows. A shower room of modern white marbling floor and walls with the biggest shower space we’ve seen for it’s an elegant jungle rain shower. Rivage has all its technical controls kept simple and elegant - both "simply elegant" and "elegantly simple". Its all user friendly and intuitive. But also the tiny details of the recessed wool carpet with the wood flooring for example or a TV remote with good user friendly design for hotel information or channels ; for once easy to use. Also that moment of stress one has when entering a hotel room, looking at a 30 character passcode, weirdly named SSID, with a one bar connection possible in only one corner of the room ; this stress fades as you connect easily to fast and free Wifi at the same time you spot the accessible USB charge points in the wall located conveniently.
Neat bright LED bed side reading lights. A spacious room layout, sliding wardrobe, with useful spaces for placing your trolley bag and things. A functionally asymmetric shape room, that hides the separate WC room on the other side of the large bathroom for discretion.
In the evening the recessed lighting of the room artfully reveals sinuous waves above the bed and pools of light around the room. A large Nespresso machine with coffee pods and tea, replaces that dreary old hotel mini kettle. Doors and drawers are all sliding, reassuringly heavy, and the shower room space even has a hidden pocket door. Everything is refined and luxurious. With bathrobes and slipper donned, you can proceed in a separate lift down to the spa level, picking up fluffy towels on your way. There is no staff guarded entry, to the hot bubbly pool, the steamy hamman, norwegian sauna with its ice dip. No staff to interfere here. A decent sized indoor pool with chill out areas and easy loungers. But in summer you could easily cross the road and swim from the lawns of France's most beautiful freshwater lake.
However I do fear the gleaming machinery of the indoor gym will remain unused since one is more likely to join the the numerous runners, and bicycles passing along the lakeside promenade.
The hotel is a realised dream,
part art,
part great design
and definitely an escape from reality.
Après le services est vraiment léger pour un 4* et au vue des tarifs pratiqués. La chambre à 16h00 était toujours pas prête, elle a été nettoyer vite fait il restait des emballages et des déchets du client précédent. Pas d'information sur le petit déjeuner, la télécommande qui ne marche pas, une employé qui rentre dans la chambre comme ça en se trompant de chambre fin bref le niveau attendu n'est pas conforme au standing proposé.
La piscine est chauffée mais bon elle est pas à 30 degrés non plus. Tous les arrivant de lhotel passe devant le spa donc bon. Puis bon hôtel situé en face du lac mais surtout en face d'une route passante, en été privilégier les chambres à l'arrière pour plus de tranquillité et de confort.
Après si on passe au dessus de ça c'est pas trop mal mais il y avait de la déception.
