5-Star Hotels in Metz-Tessy

Just outside Annecy's old town, Metz-Tessy offers a quieter, more residential base with easy access to the Alpine lakes and mountains. The main appeal is its proximity to Lake Annecy's eastern shores, where you can rent a paddleboard at Plage d'Albigny or cycle the scenic lakeside path towards Sévrier. It’s a practical spot for those who want to explore the crystal-clear waters and dramatic peaks of the Massif des Bauges without staying in the busier town center.

This area is ideal for active travelers and families seeking value and space, with good road connections via the A41 motorway. The Annecy train station is a short drive or bus ride away, providing links to Geneva and Lyon. Staying here means you’re close to the Annecy Convention Centre for business, yet only minutes from countryside hikes and lake activities.

Accommodation here is predominantly functional, modern hotels and apartment-style residences catering to practical stays. For example, the HOTEVI-listed ResidHotel Annecy offers apartment suites with kitchenettes, perfect for longer visits or family trips. You’ll find a range of reliable chain hotels and self-catering options that provide comfort and convenience after a day in the Alps.
