1906, the contemporary exploration bar that takes you on a journey from the shores of Lake Annecy

At the heart of the prestigious Palace de Menthon, a landmark 5-star hotel on the shores of Lake Annecy, a new experience is born: 1906, a contemporary exploration bar where luxury, travel and mixology come together.

For over a century, Le Palace de Menthon has welcomed travellers in search of elegance and escape. With 1906, it reinvents the art of the bar by offering a unique concept: transforming every tasting into a true journey of discovery across the world.

Each guest is invited to open an explorer’s logbook and embark on an imaginary voyage, guided by creations inspired by every corner of the globe.

1906, the year Le Palace de Menthon was founded, thus becomes a timeless, universal and evocative signature.

A menu designed like an expedition journal

Each creation is a stopover: Fortaleza, Krabi, La Rochelle, Yokohama, or Sydney.

Each cocktail tells a story, blending cultures, emotions and distant inspirations. Mixology becomes storytelling, and the bar turns into the starting point of a tailor-made itinerary.

Exceptional mixology between precision and emotion

Behind this menu lies the expertise of Axel Rochebois, whose travels have shaped a unique approach to mixology.

Rare spirits, exotic spices, distinctive ingredients: each cocktail is crafted with precision to enhance flavours without altering them. The result? A perfect alchemy between creativity and authenticity.

From accessible cocktails for curious explorers to the most exclusive creations featuring prestigious ingredients, 1906 caters to a clientele in search of excellence.

A unique immersive experience on the shores of Lake Annecy

Far more than a simple bar, 1906 offers a truly immersive experience.

Upon arrival, guests receive a world map to personalise, marking their own stopovers. With each cocktail tasted, a destination is stamped. The guest becomes an explorer, builds their own journey, and collects their stopovers with each visit, a map they are invited to bring back every time in order to continue their voyage.

An elegant and memorable experience, encouraging guests to return and continue their journey.

An exceptional setting between luxury and escape

With its panoramic view over Lake Annecy, the 1906 bar offers a spectacular setting where every detail has been designed as an invitation to depart.

A journey across the world, starting from Annecy.

At 1906, you don’t cross borders… you open an explorer’s logbook.
