Who is behind Côté Lac Hostel?
In July 2024, Alfa3a bought Côté Lac Hostel and Résidence Carlos Acutis. They have modernised the concept of the hostel, recruited motivated staff and renovated the different buildings tastefully. Alfa3a was able to work for the best to make the place inspiring while demonstrating strong values.
Coming at Côté Lac Hostel is a way of investing in the person-driven values and missions of Alfa3a. For all that, we offer professional hotel trade services and we want to make your stay memorable!
