A Lifestyle Transformation in the Heart of the Alps

Context

Just steps away from Lake Annecy, the former 3-star Best Western hotel has been completely reimagined into a unique lifestyle destination under Marriott’s Moxy brand.

This restructuring and full renovation project aimed to create a chic and welcoming experience while meeting the highest environmental standards, earning the prestigious Clef Verte certification.

Our mission: transform 4,000 m² across 7 floors within tight deadlines, while staying true to Moxy’s brand identity and incorporating a sustainable approach.

 

Our work

Renovating and creating modern, functional spaces

  • Refurbishment of 133 existing rooms and addition of 23 new rooms.
  • Fitout of common areas: reception, lounge, bar, dining area, library, and meeting rooms.
  • Conversion of the former spa and fitness area into additional rooms, with the fitness space relocated to the first floor.

Technical expertise and project management

  • Management of technical works: waterproofing, interior and exterior joinery, drywall, painting, flexible flooring, tiling, ceramics, metalwork, HVAC systems, etc.
  • Implementation of a Building Management System (BMS) to enhance energy performance and ensure guest comfort.
  • Coordination of a complex phased schedule for a partially occupied site, with progressive openings.
  • Adaptation to structural constraints: managing ceiling heights, integrating network pathways, and preserving raw elements like exposed concrete.

Sustainability commitment and certification

  • Use of eco-friendly materials (paint, tiles, flooring) chosen for their low environmental impact and certified for air quality and life cycle sustainability.
  • Waste sorting and tracking to minimize the environmental impact of the construction site.
    Adherence to neighborhood standards in a vibrant, bustling area.
