Splendid Hotel Lac d'Annecy, Handwritten Collection: the Art Deco hotel on Quai Eustache Chappuis
Opened in 1931 and renovated in 2022, the Splendid has 67 rooms by the lake, under Accor's Handwritten Collection brand. Free parking overnight, but no published price for breakfast or the spa.
The Splendid Hotel Lac d'Annecy Handwritten Collection is a 4-star hotel by the lake, at 4 quai Eustache Chappuis, on the edge of the old town. Since its renovation it has carried Accor's Handwritten Collection label, a brand built around a strong identity, here the Art Deco of the 1930s.
Here is what hotel listings and booking platforms record, and what they do not publish, especially about the extras.

The hotel stands on Quai Eustache Chappuis, right by the lake, about a 10-minute walk from Annecy railway station according to the operator's listing. It opened in 1931, at the height of the Art Deco period, and had its last major renovation in 2022.
Since that renovation it has been part of Accor's Handwritten Collection, a label that puts forward distinctive decor and a story rather than a standard chain format. For travellers flying in via Geneva, Annecy lies about 40 km to the south.
How many rooms are there, and what services does the hotel offer?
The hotel has 67 rooms, some with a balcony or terrace overlooking the canal and the mountains. It has an Art Deco style bar, a breakfast room with a buffet of local produce, and spa and fitness facilities according to the operator's listing.
Parking is free from 7pm to 8am in the Bonlieu and Hôtel de Ville public car parks, charged during the day, a fairly rare perk for a town-centre hotel.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 3pm according to most of the platforms consulted, with some of them mentioning flexibility for a later arrival. Check-out is until noon, with no notable difference from one source to another.
Reception is staffed around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week according to one of the listings consulted, with no seasonal closure recorded over the last three years.
Quai Eustache Chappuis is one of the most sought-after areas in summer: booking several months ahead remains the rule for July and August. The search for summer accommodation in Annecy lets you compare availability for your dates.

None of the listings consulted publishes a fixed rate card: prices are dynamic, varying with the date and occupancy, as at most upmarket town hotels. Every platform points to a date search rather than a reference rate.
To gauge this price bracket, the general ranges for lakeside 4-star hotels are set out in Lake Annecy hotels, though that is no guaranteed rate for this particular hotel.
What isn't published about the extras?
The breakfast buffet is mentioned in every listing, but none gives its price. The same goes for the spa: it exists, but there is no public treatment menu or price list. The daytime parking rate, outside the free overnight slot, is not published either.
No annual visitor figures, occupancy rates or economic impact are published by the Accor group for this particular hotel, which is usual for a single hotel within a group.
To compare with other options in the town centre, where to stay in Annecy compares the districts, and the Auberge du Lac at Veyrier-du-Lac shows, by contrast, a place where room rates are published nowhere.
From the quay, the lake is on foot: cruises and landing stages are a few minutes from the hotel. The Annecy activities page groups the options with duration and price.
