Unique Features
Housed in a fully refurbished 14th-century townhouse, the hotel features a collection of art books about Lyon and vintage decor including a Remington typewriter, vintage globe, and puppets from Lyon's traditional guignol theater. An interior courtyard serves as a summer garden. The property draws inspiration from academic institutions, with each floor developing a different theme of knowledge and erudition.
“Housed in a building dating back to 1406 in Old Lyon, the location alone makes it a compelling choice. I appreciate the thematic approach to the rooms, each paying homage to a French academician. The hotel's commitment to sustainability also resonates, alongside the convenience of on-site parking.”
