The room was extremely spacious with a fantastic bed, Lighting was excellent, and we had a splendid view from our window. This classy accommodation provided a massive bathroom with shower and a large bath. A lift provided access to the rooms. The staff were friendly,... More

Just perfect for us, situated in the lovely Bellecour, gorgeous views from our elegant round suite, deliciously comfortable beds, discreet friendly staff. Would go again in a heartbeat. Close to the riverside markets on the weekend. A jug would be a nice addition to the rooms and if i was being picky i'd say the furniture is not as beautiful... More

This is a beautiful hotel that has had a bit of an identity crisis. For my last night in France after a three week vacation, I wanted an old world hotel that reflected very French decor. Some where in the late 90's some one went shopping at Ikea. So we have a mix of periods that don't meld together. Now... More

Stayed here a couple of times during the last years, and satisfied both times. Good bed, good size on rooms, and nice view. Also perfect location in the middle of Lyon, close to restaurants, just a couple of stops from Perrache railway station, and good connection to the airport through Rhone Express and metro line A. I have previously stayed... More

Lyon as a city was a surprise in that I didn't know much about it and thought it was lovely. This hotel only makes it nicer. With a superb, central location right on the Place Bellecour, it's near shopping, the old city, the river and more. The hotel is just charming and beautiful with the kind of decor one dreams... More

Staff were vey attentive and my room was wonderful with great views and good Internet connection. Breakfast was delicious and the hotel's location was brilliant. Walking distance to Lyon old town...

We stayed here in summer and the hotel is easily the best possible location in Lyon, being situated literally on the corner of Place Bellecour, the city's heart. We stayed during a week of extreme heat in Lyon, around 38 degrees C everyday, so it was a welcome relief to step into the amazingly well air-conditioned hotel lobby and rooms.... More
