An eco-friendly hotel
Drawing on real
energy innovations, the hotel has a very small carbon footprint. This is
because the whole neighbourhood is linked up to a water loop system installed
forty feet under the surface of Lake Annecy. This provides a local, renewable
source of energy, as the lake water heats or cools the hotel and the
surrounding buildings depending on the season. And in a major first for a French
hotel, the Pélican has joined the 1% for the Planet global collective, meaning
that 1% of the hotel profits will be donated to environmental groups and charities chosen
by the collective.
