The hotel is well located on the northern foothills of the Alps and on the shore of the Geneva Lake, 40 minutes from Geneva airport and only 15 minutes from Yvoire, the beautiful medieval historic village that is an International Laureate of Floral Decorations, a member of the Association of the Most Beautiful Villages of France and a hub of glass arts and French cuisine.
We stayed at the Ibis Thonon Evian on our way to hiking in the Alps and the Green Vallee. We had two comfortable clean rooms for a couple of days. The staff were professional, courteous and very helpful. The breakfast was delicious with fresh butter croissants and French crepes, natural and fruit yogurt, cereals, multi-grain spelt bread, juices, espresso, coffee latte and fresh fruits.
In the past, we took the children to world-class aquatic center, la Cité de l'Eau in Amphion-Publier, which is open all year round with a 25-meter pool, a wave pool, a water slide, a diving pool, whirlpool baths, and a wide variety of activities: water aerobics, a water garden, swimming lessons and a fitness center with weight-lifting and cardio-training rooms, and sports facilities for basket-ball, volley-ball and rock climbing, all within 10 minutes drive of our hotel.
We also swam and sailed in the lake and took one the numerous ferries crossing to Lausanne (12 km)
