Hotel Novotel Annecy Centre Atria

Novotel Annecy Centre has been refurbished to create a genuine "indoor hub".
The design has been completely overhauled and the hotel renovated based on one central theme - the world of sport and the mountains. Raw materials such as stone, wood and leather have been used throughout the hotel to create a relaxed, warm and imaginative space connecting the inside to the outside.

A unique living space for celebrating, working, meeting people and above all … staying in!

NOVOTEL ANNECY CENTRE: DARING TO CREATE NEW EMOTIONS

This extensive refurbishment helps to satisfy customer demand more effectively by providing a venue that is at one with Annecy, an invigorating city of sport and celebration. Just like the city, the hotel draws on indoor / outdoor inspiration, with a vibrant atmosphere thanks to an elegant yet functional layout. It is the perfect place to enjoy a drink, grab a bite to eat, work, play or just unwind.
The 95 guestrooms have been revamped, featuring décor that is totally inspired by the outdoors. Spacious, contemporary and adaptable, a magnificent mountain landscape rises from behind the headboards to immerse visitors in the world of the hotel and the destination.

A gym is available, featuring a wide range of equipment including rowing machines that accurately replicate the movement and fluency experienced in reality (such as on a lake).
Sport extends beyond the gym, with a fitness trail on the staircase that connects each floor. Squats, cardio workout, calories burned with each step up - everything has been designed to create a genuine "indoor hub" in the heart of the hotel!

NEW RESTAURANT: THE CRAIC, A GOURMET RETREAT

What's the CRAIC! This Irish expression refers to a mindset, a lifestyle. It's about having fun, time to relax and enjoying it to the full! This new restaurant, which only draws on Irish inspiration for its name and attitude, was created by Fabrice Gratreaud, Managing Director of the hotel, with 26 years' experience within Accor Group, and his highly dedicated teams.
Just a short walk from the train station, The Craic restaurant was designed as a place of relaxation, giving travelers and locals alike the chance to unwind and enjoy good food. The different areas are structured around a central food bar conducive to sharing and socializing.

Mathieu Laville, the talented young chef at the helm of the restaurant, draws inspiration for his eclectic culinary approach from his extensive travels. After holding several positions in France, he went to live in Australia and then Asia (in Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia). While there, he discovered a different kind of cuisine, full of new flavors and textures. Since then, he has promoted modern fusion cuisine. Combining memories of his travels with local produce, his creations are rich in both flavor and emotion.

Unusually for Annecy, the restaurant will be open all day, from 7am to 10pm (and until midnight every Friday and Saturday).

Boasting a giant screen and a DJ booth, the bar offers an extensive menu of drinks from around the world, with a focus on beers, fruit juices and whisky from the surrounding Savoy region! The Barista is there for coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon, and aperitifs and sharing platters as well as cocktails in the evening.

The Craic will also have an outdoor terrace, open all year round - a vibrant space in tune with the seasons, featuring a fire basket, pétanque, various games, etc.

Special feature : creation of a bakery corner with local artisan bakers, brothers Yvan and Ulrich Masset. It's a simple yet ingenious idea - to feature a high-quality neighborhood business, intended for a local clientele, which symbolizes traditional French craftsmanship in the eyes of international travelers. This Bakery Corner by The CRAIC & Comptoir du Pain may well become the place to go, whether to buy your fresh bread, grab a sandwich for lunch, or browse the delicatessen range, which includes jellies, Crozet pasta, Opinel pocket knives, Tétra flasks, delicious gateaux, etc., all from the Savoy region! An extensive range of snacks is also available (sandwiches, salads, soups) to eat in or take away.

A DISRUPTIVE BUSINESS AREA

The new Novotel will also feature 12 totally redesigned, contemporary, modular and high-tech meeting rooms with evocative names based on mountain sports such as Adrénaline, Foulée, Sprint, Envol, Glisse, Dénivelé, Altitude. The versatile 150 seat "Podium" amphitheater, featuring a giant Multi-Play screen has been totally revamped to open out onto the exterior, thereby providing natural light.
The creation of a 90m² "Freestyle" meeting room, based on disruptive innovation, enhances the experience of a new generation hotel.

A DEEP COMMITMENT TO A LOW CARBON FOOTPRINT

From the kitchens to the guestrooms, "responsible hospitality" is advocated by the Group through its corporate, social and environmental commitments. Short food supply chains, local expertise, and sustainable development are all favored:

• Every member of the team is provided footwear by SAOLA (recycled, bio-sourced and organic materials)

• On-site bottling of still and sparkling water to banish plastic

• Sourdough bread, made with organic flour, at the Bakery Corner

• Donation of furniture to local charities such as health and social charity GAIA, food charity les Petites Cantines, professional training body AFPA, etc.
