Located on Place Bellecour—Europe's largest public square—this MGallery Collection property provides 4-star accommodations with direct event spaces, allowing you to host ceremony, reception, and guest lodging under one roof.
The hotel's central Lyon location means minimal coordination between venues and overnight arrangements.
Great location. Could see the metro station right out the window as well as the water on either side. 8 min walk to the old town. Small grocery store across the street. Many, many shops and restaurants nearby. Staff were friendly all around. Beds were comfy and place was clean. Housekeeping would come around in the evenings to turn the beds down and provide chocolates. The showers were a weird set up and we flooded the bathroom almost everytime. Some of the items in the rooms weren't laid out properly. Given a kettle on a cabinet, but the cord was so short and didn't reach the plug, you would end up boiling your water on the floor. Small things that didn't impact our stay at all. Would recommend.
