Close to the center of Aix Les Bains and Lake Bourget, and only 5 minutes from the TGV train station, the 3-star Mercure Thalassa Acquaviva hotel, set in ten hectares of parkland, offers a warm welcome. Our 100 rooms and studios do not have air conditioning, but the majority feature balconies overlooking forest landscapes and the Domaine de Marlioz gardens. A corridor connects the hotel with the balneotherapy center and spa (paid access; closed from Jan 02-14, 2012, inclusive).
