The Pélican, a hotel steeped in history in the heart of Annecy

This prestigious hotel housed in a listed heritage building is ideally located at the entrance to Annecy’s old town facing the lake. Comprising an ancient wing and a recent structure that harmonises beautifully with the centuries-old setting, this innovative hotel has symbolically bridged the gap between history and modernity. Annecy has now welcomed its new flagship hotel.

Concept

Exceptional setting

An extraordinary hotel offering in Annecy

Annecy is adored by visitors, who all expect a hotel offering modernity, character, a warm welcome and close proximity to leisure and tourist activities on the banks of the blue lake. But the town is also popular with professionals, who want a hotel blending novelty and premium, efficient services for their meetings, group workshops and corporate events. And last but not least, the locals themselves are always on the lookout for fresh new ideas for family reunions and staycations. Le Pélican Hotel meets this varied and increasingly high demand for rooms in Annecy, along with sophisticated hotel services combining charm and friendliness, just a short distance from all the fun activities in and around the town. This establishment is now standing proudly on the right bank of the lake in the heart of the “Venice of the French Alps,” just a stone’s throw from the pedestrianised old town and its cobbled streets lining the River Thiou.

More than a hotel, an iconic part of Annecy’s history

Ready for a history lesson? The original alms house was built in 1820 on the banks of Lake Annecy. In the years that followed, architect Prosper Dunant oversaw the construction of the first hospital building, which integrated the former Capuchin convent. The hospital gradually expanded, and this is exactly when the Pélican Hotel’s history really began. In an effort to enliven the monotone façade, the sculpture of a pelican was commissioned and installed on top of the gabled roof. Pelicans are known for fiercely defending their young and providing them with regular nourishment, and have come to symbolise charity and maternal love. The sculpture remains today, embodying the values of hospitality and protection, making it a marvellous coincidence that the site is now home to a hotel!

Le Groupe PVG, garant d’une nouvelle hôtellerie à plus-value d’âme

L’hôtel Le Pélican appartient au groupe régional PVG qui est également propriétaire de l’hôtel Impérial Palace situé à l’autre extrémité du parc du Pâquier.
« Dans notre famille, le temps a toujours donné du sens à nos actes. Il a tracé le sillon de notre histoire, une histoire d’hommes, de savoir-vivre et d’accueil. Attachés à cette ville d’Annecy et à sa propre histoire qui fait écho à la nôtre, nous avons fait de son rayonnement le prolongement de notre épanouissement personnel et professionnel.
« Le Pélican » est le 6^ème hôtel de notre groupe et le 2^ème à Annecy, celui de l’accomplissement et du renouveau. Nous l’avons rêvé longtemps avant de lui donner vie. Il résume nos valeurs, notre philosophie de l’authenticité et exprime notre vision de l’art de vivre et de recevoir. Ce temps, à votre tour, nous vous proposons de le suspendre et de le prendre dans cet hôtel unique, où tout a été pensé pour vous offrir à la fois l’intimité et l’espace, le service et la discrétion, la sérénité et les festivités, les moments en famille et les instants à deux.»
Gaston et Olivier Pollet-Villard, propriétaires.
