Boscolo Lyon Hotel & Spa

Staying at this boutique hotel in the heart of Lyon was an absolute delight from check-in to check-out. The only minor tweaks I’d suggest: 1) the bar lacked stools, making it less comfortable to sit and enjoy drinks; 2) the Nespresso machines didn’t come with single-serve creamers or powder—so we had to request cold milk separately at a €5 charge, which felt a bit steep; 3) like many European hotels, there were no face cloths (or serviettes carrés) provided in the room—curious, what do Europeans actually use to wipe their faces? The lobby exudes elegance and warmth, while the Grand Salon feels straight out of a film set. Rooms, though on the smaller side, are smartly designed, incredibly comfortable, and feature excellent air conditioning and powerful rain showers. After a long day exploring Lyon, the basement spa area—complete with pool, sauna, steam room, and tea lounge—was pure bliss. Cocktails were crafted with care and served in vintage glassware, though martinis and old-fashioneds could use a bit more spirit. Breakfast was outstanding—full of variety and delicious options, including the ability to order avocado toast, truffled omelette, or œufs à la coque à la carte. Definitely book the B&B rate to avoid the surprise €39 per person fee if you’re not already included. Angelo’s, the hotel’s Italian restaurant, looked tempting but leaned toward the pricier side—we opted for dining out each night in Lyon’s culinary capital district instead. Staff were genuinely warm and attentive throughout. This hotel easily ranks among my top three reasonably priced boutique stays in Europe.

Pullman Lyon

Staying at Pullman Lyon was an absolute highlight of my trip to Lyon. The location couldn’t be better—right across from the train station, just turn left after exiting and there it is. Super convenient for getting around the city. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly; one even offered me a map of Lyon and marked out recommended spots based on what I wanted to see—big shoutout to Elise, who truly went above and beyond with her helpfulness. The room was clean, well-maintained, and spotless—exactly what you want after a long journey. Breakfast was served in the ground-floor restaurant, which has a bright, open atmosphere and great natural lighting. I had my first-ever experience with a croissant sandwiched with strawberry jam and hoisin sauce—unexpected but surprisingly delicious! There was a little mix-up with my tea order: I asked for a cup of black tea, but the server handed me a tea bag instead. By the time I realized it, I’d already opened it—so I ended up drinking it anyway, which made for a funny moment. It didn’t ruin the experience at all—it actually added a touch of charm. Overall, this hotel delivered excellent service, comfort, and a memorable stay. Highly recommend!

The area is quiet and peaceful, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway.

Staying at the InterContinental Lyon - Hotel Dieu by IHG was an absolute delight. The location is unbeatable—just a 40-minute walk to the historic hill of Fourvière, the majestic Notre-Dame de Fourvière Cathedral, and the ancient Roman Theatre. The morning views from the city skyline are stunning, especially when you start your day with a delicious breakfast.
