10 Top-Rated Hotels in Lyon, Rhone, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes

August 7, 2022 Harland Bartelt

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyon has 2,000 years of history imprinted on its streets (yes, the cobblestone kind). Explore this history in Vieux Lyon (one of Europe's most extensive Renaissance neighborhoods) and Lyon's two Roman amphitheatres, which still stage rock concerts today. It's no wonder Lyon is a popular area for travelers, with its dynamic university, first-class shopping, antique markets, vibrant theatre and music festivals, and a range of interesting museums, such as the International Puppet Museum and the Museum of Miniatures and Film Sets. (When we say "interesting," we mean it.)

It‘s a very nice hotel with good breakfast, a wonderful terrace to relax and very friendly and helpful employees. The garage is a challenge for less experienced drivers. The location is perfect for a citytrip. We can recommend the hotel.

Stayed for three nights in early June and couldn't be more pleased with our stay. From check in to check out the staff, design, and amenities were a delight. The heated lap pool and the impeccably clean spa and jacuzzi were welcome after a long day seeing the sites.

Hotel Carlton Lyon - MGallery Collection

Be enchanted by the Carlton Lyon hotel, located on the peninsula. Despite being fully renovated in 2013, it has retained its authenticity and personality, blending contemporary comfort with sophistication. Relax in one of the 80 tastefully decorated rooms or in the cozy atmosphere of the bar. The hotel is just a 5-minute walk from the Bellecour metro stop and is the ideal base for exploring Lyon, with its opera house, museums, the St. Jean cathedral and more. Located between the Rhone and Saone rivers, the Carlton Lyon hotel was built in 1894 as a "petit palace" in Lyon. Punctuated by its forged iron balconies, dome and rotundas, its splendid Haussmann facade echoes the refinement of its historical decor. The hotel's "Signature" rooms also highlight artists who have stayed there. Travelers will appreciate immersing themselves in the splendid adornments of the many talents that have visited the hotel.

Long weekend

Reviewed By oxana772022

The pillows were quite hard and the amounts reserved on the credit card stayed rather long (billed 1 night in advance/ released 2 days after check out, then an amount reserved on arrival /2 days after check out still not released! and then a final bill at check out). For the rest nothing to complain about! Very nice hotel and SPA.

One night in Lyon

Reviewed By XavierK807

Due to bad weather conditions and amazing traffic jams we decided to make a stop o in Lyon. Without reservation we popped up at the reception of the mama shelter in Lyon and we were lucky as there were some free rooms. The check in was performed by a very friendly and polite guy and we feel more than welcome….. the room was directly available and was great. Once installed we went down to the restaurant which was more than full and overbooked. Luckily we get 2 places on the bar and we had a great dining experience in a more than trendy and lounge atmosphere…..great dinner and cocktails, all was more than perfect! The same for the day after for the breakfast….. All in one we did not regret our choice and we can more than warmly recommend this hotel as well the restaurant of the hotel! Excellent value for money!

Easy Access to the Train Station

We stayed here the night before we took the TVG to Paris CDG Airport. It was perfect. The bed was luxurious. The room as tight, but sufficient. There is a huge mall right next door, so any items you were hoping to be able to fit into your suitcase were right at your fingertips. There was a COVID testing site beside the mall.

Grand Hotel des Terreaux

In the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, LE GRAND HOTEL DES TERREAUX is one of Lyon’s oldest hotels. It combines the atmosphere of an old-fashioned 19th century town house with a daringly modern, innovative design. Every detail shows the personality of this place which is brought to life by the passion of its staff and the soul of its Guests. This lovely hotel enjoys a prime location on the peninsula, not far from the Lyon Opera House and the Théatre des Célestins, just on the edge of the historic centre of Lyon with its many bistro-style restaurants (known locally as ‘bouchons’), and a stone’s throw from the Place des Terreaux and the Musée des Beaux-Arts. As you will see from our guest book, we have had the privilege of welcoming a number of very famous guests.

Basic & probably ideal for a one night stay

Reviewed By SpencerHorne

I stayed in Lyon for 2 nights in a single room & must start by saying that the hotel is ideally located next to the station. Although I knew I had a single room it's my personal preference that a bed isn't alongside a wall & I felt quite claustrophobic. In addition there was no real natural light in my room & it does have the smallest shower I've used for some time. For a one night stay it is fine but I was desperate to go after 2 nights. On the plus side though apart from location the staff were very friendly & helpful & Lyon is a beautiful city so if you wanted somewhere cheap to stay then this might suit you.
