A hotel with a heated outdoor pool: the Pélican’s unique offering!

They’re rare in Annecy — especially just a 5-minute walk from the old town — and no other 4-star hotel offers an outdoor space quite like this. From early April to late October, enjoy a heated outdoor pool with generous dimensions, nestled beside a majestic cedar tree — a true haven of cool, relaxing luxury in the heart of Annecy.

A unique & exclusive outdoor space

Reserved exclusively for hotel guests, this chic and inviting outdoor oasis combines a heated outdoor pool, poolside bar, and petanque court. A perfect blend of relaxation, leisure, and French art de vivre in the heart of a 4-star hotel in Annecy. Sun loungers, mountain views, and pleasantly warm water set the scene for total relaxation. This signature spot brings Le Pélican to life on sunny days, offering an atmosphere that’s both refined and effortlessly laid-back.

A tribute to an iconic symbol of Lake Annecy

To access the pool — a peaceful, indulgent space — guests cross a footbridge designed by interior architect Hervé Lefillatre. Inspired by the famous Pont des Amours, this elegant passage captures Annecy’s romantic spirit and gives full meaning to its nickname, “the Little Venice of the Alps.” With its sweeping arches and poetic lines, the bridge beautifully adds to the elegant, mineral-inspired ambiance of the Pélican, echoing the shores of the lake.

Petanque in the shade of the cedar

Because there’s more to life than modern day activities like paddleboards, yoga or e-scooters… In Annecy, petanque is a cherished tradition. Long before it became a summer pastime on the Place des Lices in Saint-Tropez, it was already part of Annecy’s local culture. Beneath the hotel’s century-old cedar, the game takes center stage once again. No need to pack your own set — we’ll gladly lend you some for a laid-back match with friends or family in an authentic, relaxed setting.

A bar and a snack to refresh you

Nothing beats a gourmet break between two dips in the pool. Our snack menu is made for sunny lounging: delicious sandwiches, refreshing poke bowls, fresh salads… And for a sweet finale, don’t miss the artisanal ice creams by our pastry chef Quentin Thevenard. At the poolside bar, enjoy cocktails, soft drinks and cold refreshments — served all day long for the perfect poolside experience.
