What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This stylish modern boutique hotel is set directly on the shores of Lac d’Annecy, and while its natural environment would be difficult to improve upon, its high-design modernist-inspired interiors put forth a convincing effort.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Duingt marks the quieter western shore of Lake Annecy, looking directly across the water toward the Bay of Talloires.
The rooms
Interiors favor pale oak woodwork and warm textiles, with broad windows looking out toward the gardens and the lake.
The sauna and hot tub
A wooden Nordic hot tub and outdoor sauna sit on the lawn, facing the water and surrounding mountains.
Restaurant
Les Parasols
Tables sit along the terrace for seasonal lunches and aperitif platters looking directly across the water.
How it began
The address has occupied the shoreline since 1934, operating for decades as Le Clos Marcel before a complete 2025 overhaul.
