A top-class tribute
Hôtel Annapurna is first and foremost a family story. The story of a business that has been handed down from generation to generation.
The Hotel Annapurna owes its name to the famous mountaineer Maurice Herzog. He was the designated leader of the French expedition to Annapurna in 1950, when he and Louis Lachenal conquered this first summit of over 8,000 metres for the very first time.
Christiane and André Pinturault wanted to pay tribute to their friend and celebrate his achievement by naming their hotel after this incredible Nepalese mountain.
So it's only natural that we should try to pass on this wonderful story to our guests. Our mascot, a little polar bear, is called "Maurice".
