01 · In a sentence

Hotel Gatsby by HappyCulture in Chassieu.

Hotel Gatsby by HappyCulture occupies a distinctive mid-century building originally constructed in 1972 as a modernist commercial structure in Chassieu, near Lyon.

The property has been thoughtfully reimagined as a contemporary hotel that respects its architectural heritage while introducing sophisticated event spaces.

This transformation preserves the building's clean lines and functional design while layering in modern hospitality infrastructure for weddings and celebrations.

Convenient for a stop over with the kids. They have a nice games room to keep everyone entertained for free, bowling, arcade games, pool, original babyfoot and flipper. A swimming pool outdoor for the summer. Staff is very welcoming and helpful.
