Hôtel Ermitage
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Worth booking if you want the best-rated hotel in our Évian sample, with a spa and views over Lake Geneva, and you accept paying about twice the local median. Travellers who mainly need a clean bed near town should look at our two cheaper picks.

Hôtel Ermitage is our Luxury pick in Évian-les-Bains. It suits couples on a spa break, travellers who care about the view from the hotel, and families who want family rooms and a pool on site.
It is less suited to anyone counting euros. At the reference price it cost roughly double the median hotel in our sample. Swimmers who want a warm, quiet pool should also read the guest notes below before booking.
Location and getting around
The address is 1230 avenue du Léman - Neuvecelle, in what the listing calls the top-rated area of Évian-les-Bains. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10.
Guests describe panoramic views over Lake Geneva, the mountains and the surrounding parkland. We have no verified walking times from the hotel to the town centre, the lakefront or other sights, so check the route on a map. Free parking is listed, which helps if you arrive by car.
What guests say
The hotel scores 8.8 out of 10 from 417 guest reviews. That placed it joint first of four eligible hotels in the sample on review score.
Praise centres on two things. The staff come across as friendly, professional and attentive, with a warm welcome. And the views over the lake, mountains and park are mentioned again and again.
The weak spot is the pool. It has indoor and outdoor sections, but some guests found the water cold and the space noisy. Room size, noise in the rooms and the state of the decor have not been assessed, so recent reviews are worth a look.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
The reference price was €256.50 per night, about €513 for two nights. That is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates. The sample median was €129.00 a night.
Our Budget pick, The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Alizé, Évian-les-Bains, is a three-star scoring 8.3 at €97.40 a night. Our Best Value pick, La Verniaz et ses Chalets, is also four stars, scores 8.7 and cost €124.60 a night. So you paid around €130 more per night than at La Verniaz for a 0.1 higher score.
What the extra buys, according to the listing: gym, spa and wellness centre, pool, restaurant, free parking, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, garden and terrace. Breakfast options include continental, vegetarian, gluten-free and buffet. Whether breakfast is in your rate is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 4 hotels in Évian-les-Bains. The Luxury slot goes to five-star hotels first, and a four-star can only fill it with a score of at least 8.5. Hôtel Ermitage cleared that with 8.8, tied for the best score in the sample.
Its spa, pool and guest-praised views set it apart from our other two picks. The price is the trade-off.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included and what it costs if not. Ask about spa and pool opening hours and any fees, and set expectations on pool temperature. The listing is tagged as pet-friendly, so confirm conditions if you travel with an animal. Read the cancellation terms. And compare today's rate with La Verniaz et ses Chalets, since the gap was large on our reference dates.
