Located just 5 minutes from Annecy town center, the 4-star “Les Trésoms” hotel, formerly known as “Les trésoms et la forêt”, is the perfect place to discover this town with its rich past.

Its geographical position, overlooking Lake Annecy, and its “art nouveau” architecture dating from the 1930s, which has been entirely renovated thanks to the expertise of Pascal and Véronique DROUX, the managers, make up a large part of the unostentatious Annecy charm of this establishment.

The hotel has two restaurants: “La Rotonde”, offering a 180° view of the lake, and “La Coupole”, reserved for hotel residents.

Eric Prowalski, a young chef who trained with Alain Solivères at Taillevent, after completing his apprenticeship with Philippe Etchebest, and his fifteen-strong team offer an original menu that is constantly renewed. His signature dishes feature exceptional products such as red tuna and white and black truffles.

Until March, the chef will be using truffles in a variety of recipes on a menu simply entitled “autour de la truffe” (around truffles), which plays on textures and flavors.

And it’s not just his cuisine that is in the spotlight: every year, Eric Powalski showcases the artisans and producers with whom he works.
This is how the truffle market takes place in the hotel’s salons.

With more than 300 visitors each year, local producers, as well as fishermen, market gardeners and winegrowers and distributors of exceptional wines, including Veuve Cliquot, accompany the presentation.

Through its choice of exhibitors, and proud of its “la clef vert” label, the Les Trésoms hotel affirms a genuine environmental approach, seeking out local products and highlighting small producers.

Les Trésoms also features a 200m2 “wellness pavilion”. With a balneotherapy pool, hammam, sauna, herbal tea room, outdoor pool with terrace and 7 treatment cabins, there’s everything you need to relax and unwind.
The beauty rituals offered at this lake and Spa resort are based on natural products from Decléor, Terraké and the newly arrived Talga superior range.
Customers can choose a fully personalized treatment, or one based on an element (water, earth, light) and a special feature (application of products with silk brushes, use of volcanic stones). Real menus at the heart of relaxation.

A haven of happiness and peace in every season.
