The views are c'est magnifique! Panoramic views of Lyon and the surrounding countryside abound.

Former hotel recently re-opened with a welcoming, eclectic flair. And mint tea. And free WiFi. And hot dogs available all night long.

Lounge-y, laid-back terrace is where it’s at. Ask anyone.

White-washed + modern rooms are a cool juxtaposition against the old town views.

Handsome, tastefully-renovated and relatively-spacious rooms.

Don’t let the traditional facade of this former préfecture building fool ya. It's had a massive style overhaul worthy of its fashionable 6th district address.

Prime location on the Presqu’île (aka right in the city centre).

Serene rooms all rock killer views of the lush park (making them seem even serene-r).

Whimsical vintage touches abound, giving the common areas a playful vibe.

Free WiFi satisfies both biz travelers and social media addicts.

Just metres from Lyon-Perrache train station, the tram or the subway.

Central location just steps away from the tram, subway and Lyon Perrache train station.

A skip from the centre of town.

Remember the days before WiFi? Yeah, those sucked. Thankfully, you won’t have to relive them here – they’ve got it and it’s free.

No-fuss in-room styling keeps the vibe low-key (but rooms defo don’t slack off on must-have mod cons like free WiFi).

The views are c'est magnifique! Panoramic views of Lyon and the surrounding countryside abound.

Nestled just outside the centre for easy access to all the must-see sights.

Sweet location near it all – shops, dining, the metro and speedy TGV trains (!). Gotta love convenience.

Recent renos complement the Old World character of this historic hotel. Be sure to check out the tiny antique elevator.

Right by the main train station as well as the tram for effortlessly exploring all the must-visits.

A newly reno’d, listed Art Nouveau building in downtown Lyon, a 10-min walk from Place Bellecour. (Ooh-la-la.)

Do not be fooled by the historic landmark façade. Interiors are delightfully fresh, sophisticated and modern.

Historical character flows throughout, from uniquely decorated guestrooms to the Michelin-starred Les Loges.

Ultra-convenient spot near the Part-Dieu TGV station, convention centre & Tête d’Or Park-Villeurbanne – reach the centre in 10 mins by tram or metro.

Just a hop, skip and a jump from the metro for easy access to all the must-visits.

Location gets bonus points for free parking and easy access to Lyon’s must-do’s.

Can't bear to leave Fluffy behind? You don't have to; these digs are pet-friendly.

Wondering if you’re in the right place? If you see the living plant wall, you’re good.

Lobby and breakfast area have some crazy wallpaper and foliage goin’ on. Boring, it is not. (A li'l personality's a good thing.)

Lovely accommodations ideally situated near major roads and minutes from downtown via public transport.
