Le Petit Létraz
Modern Alpine lakeside boutique — cosy, intimate, design-conscious without being pretentious. Think natural materials, clean lines, and a very French ease about it all.
Book the skipper boat shuttle to the Black Bass restaurant for lunch on the lake — runs June 15 to September 15 and is a highlight
Why It Matters
Formerly known as Le Clos Marcel, now rebranded and under the Destel Hotels group. One of very few hotels with direct private beach access on Lac d'Annecy's quieter western shore. Tablet Hotels listed. Green Key eco-certified. Seasonal only: open April to October.
Le Petit Létraz sits right on the water's edge of Lake Annecy — and that's the whole point. This small 4-star boutique hotel has just 14 rooms and a rooftop loft, all in a contemporary building designed to frame the lake rather than compete with it. Warm light oak, soft textures, and a convivial atmosphere make it feel more like a stylish friend's lakehouse than a hotel. The beach restaurant Les Parasols is open to the public, so day-trippers mix with guests on the sun loungers. Rooms on the smaller side (most around 21–25m²), but you'll barely be in them.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Classic Room with Forest View
Same design aesthetic as the lake-view rooms — warm oak, cosy textures — but facing the forest rather than the lake. The most affordable option at the property. Walk-in shower.
Queen (160×200) or twin (2×80×200)Classic Room with Lake View
Cosy room with warm natural colours and light oak finishes. Balcony or patio with a direct view over Lac d'Annecy. Walk-in shower, L'Occitane welcome amenities (bathrobe, slippers). Sleeps 2.
Queen (160×200) or twin (2×80×200)Lake View Suite
The largest single-unit room. Separate bedroom with a 160×200 bed plus a lounge area with a double sofa bed — both spaces have their own patio directly overlooking the lake. Ideal for families or couples wanting a proper living area. Includes L'Occitane amenities.
Queen (160×200) or twin (2×80×200) + double sofa bed · 25 sqmMezzanine Room with Lake View
A clever use of vertical space: main bed on the ground level, second double bed on the mezzanine. Balcony overlooking the lake. Walk-in shower. Sleeps up to 4, though the mezzanine is not recommended for children under 8.
Queen (160×200) or twin (2×80×200) + second double on mezzanine · 21 sqm
Rooftop Loft
Entirely separate from the rest of the hotel, this 180m² rooftop unit is in a class of its own. Three double bedrooms each with private bathroom — one has a terrace overlooking the lake, two face Le Semnoz mountain. Two single chairbeds add extra capacity. Can host up to 14 for seminars or meetings. Minimum 2-night stay.
3 queen beds + 2 single chairbeds · 180 sqmSuperior Room with Lake View
A step up from classic: same 25m² footprint but with a whirlpool bath placed dramatically in the middle of the room. Balcony or patio looks straight out over the lake. Includes L'Occitane welcome pack.
