Le Palace de Menthon honoured with the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice 2026
On the shores of Lake Annecy, facing the Alps, Le Palace de Menthon has been awarded the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice 2026. This distinction places the property among the top 10% of hotels worldwide as rated by travellers, once again confirming the exceptional standing of this century-old five-star address.
An award given by travellers themselves
The Travellers' Choice is not a prize decided by experts, but the direct result of reviews left by guests who have stayed at the property. This recognition therefore reflects a lived experience, repeated and confirmed across hundreds of stays throughout the year.
For more than a century, Le Palace de Menthon has blended past and present with unwavering elegance. Its emblematic façade, inherited from the great palace hotels of the early twentieth century, overlooks six hectares of parkland with 200 metres of private shoreline on Lake Annecya setting travellers regularly describe as breathtaking.
An experience praised across the board
The hotel's 66 rooms and suites are frequently mentioned for their warm elegance, as is the view over the lake and the Alps that greets guests from the very first communal spaces. The location itself is unique: Le Palace de Menthon is the only property on the shores of Lake Annecy with its own private marina and direct beach access.
On the culinary side, the dining room, blending early-1900s Art Deco style with contemporary touches, offers a sweeping view over the lake. The chef serves a creative, locally inspired cuisine designed to accompany every moment of the day, from lunch through to dinner.
The wellness area and spa are also among the most frequently mentioned highlights, alongside the attentiveness shown by the team throughout every stage of a stay.
An address for every occasion
An ideal setting for a wedding, a corporate seminar or simply a peaceful break between lake and mountains, Le Palace de Menthon has built a reputation founded on the consistency of its excellence.
This Travellers’ Choice 2026 award recognises the efforts made by Le Palace de Menthon, more than a century after it first opened, to transport its guests into a world of truly timeless elegance.
