Hôtel du Palais de l’Isle

Annecy


In a warren-like 18th-century building in the centre of the old town, this hotel leans towards nostalgia with parchment-effect wallpaper and regal maroon hues, but keeps things up to date where it matters: tastefully modern bathrooms, minibars and a sleek lounge-bar. Rooms have views of the palais, the château or the old town’s rooftops.

The continental breakfast spread costs €12.
