Hotel Palafitte
The interiors are sleek and modern, with hardwood floors and contemporary furnishings, and the bathrooms look like design showrooms, with bowl-shaped sinks on wooden countertops and glass-walled showers. The lake is the main attraction, whether viewed through glass plates in the floors or from the balcony, where a ladder swings down into the water. And you’d be hard pressed to find a more technologically advanced hotel — built by the German technology giant Siemens, Hôtel Palafitte is something of a high-tech showcase.
Of course the technology, however impressive, is secondary; the focus is on the environment, whether the masterful interior design or the magnificent surroundings. Even the slightly more modest on-land suites are well worth a look, and from May to September everyone has an up-close view of the lake from the restaurant’s terrace.
