4 rue Jussieu, 69002 Lyon
Upon entering the Haussmann-style building that houses the Hôtel Carlton Lyon, you will discover a place of understated elegance, whose history dates back to 1894. The architecture, marked by wrought-iron balconies and an iconic dome, reveals a world where classic style blends with resolutely contemporary comfort. Between tradition and modernity, the address retains an untouched charm, reflecting its neighborhood, the Presqu'île, where two rivers frame the city's most beautiful façades.
You can reach the hotel within minutes from the Bellecour or Cordeliers metro stations. Upon your arrival, attentive staff will be at your service to welcome you with discretion and efficiency. The lobby sets the tone: soft lighting, refined textures, and a calm ambiance. Here, every detail seems designed to create a soothing escape amidst urban hustle and bustle.
The 80 rooms, all air-conditioned and soundproofed, exude an intimate atmosphere dominated by red tones, a nod to theater halls and the world of cinema. The spirit of the venue extends into the decorative choices, where original tapestries and warm materials are paired with simple, elegant furniture. Some rooms offer more generous spaces or views of Place de la République, while others focus on the comfort of a more compact yet equally well-appointed cocoon.
Each room includes a courtesy tray, a flat-screen TV, a minibar, a safe, and a bathroom equipped with bathrobes, slippers, and welcome products. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. Depending on your preferences, you can opt for discreet room service, available at any hour.
For a moment of relaxation, the CODAGE spa offers a selection of inspired treatments tailored to individual needs. Scrubs, facials, personalized massages: each ritual aims to restore harmony to the body and mind in a peaceful setting. The hammam complements this wellness experience and is available upon request. Special attentions are also provided for women traveling alone, with dedicated products and services.
The Carlton bar, on the other hand, invites you to unwind in a boudoir-style atmosphere. A large central sofa, pearl chandeliers, and subdued lighting create an ideal setting to enjoy a cocktail, a glass of champagne, or the famous “Rouge Carlton.” A short but well-thought-out menu also allows you to order a few dishes to your room for a quiet evening.
The establishment also features an elegant and intimate meeting space, perfect for small groups wishing to combine work and comfort. The reception is open 24/7 and provides numerous services: luggage storage, concierge services, excursion or show bookings, babysitting on request, newspapers, and even an electric vehicle charging station.
Breakfast, served in the dining room or your room, highlights regional products. Breads, pastries, cheeses, fresh fruits, and local specialties make up a complete buffet, ensuring an energetic and delightful start to the day. If you prefer to take your time, room service will meet your expectations.
The Carlton Lyon's location is a major asset for exploring the city on foot. From the Presqu'île, simply cross a street to reach the shops on Rue de la République, Place Bellecour or Place des Terreaux, or the Rhône riverbanks for a peaceful evening stroll. Nearby public transportation makes it easy to reach other neighborhoods.
You can walk to Lyon's Opera or the famous Saint-Jean Cathedral in just a few minutes. From there, a climb to Fourvière will take you to the basilica and one of the city's most beautiful viewpoints. On your way back down, Vieux Lyon invites you to wander through its traboules, Renaissance façades, and lively terraces.
For culture enthusiasts, the Museum of Fine Arts, housed in a former abbey, has a rich collection of European paintings and sculptures. The more contemporary Museum of Confluences is also worth a visit for its modern museography and captivating exhibitions on civilizations and natural sciences.
In the evening, the city's theaters and music venues reveal themselves through numerous establishments within walking distance: the Théâtre des Célestins, the Auditorium, or the Salle Rameau offer a varied program throughout the year. Festivals also punctuate the seasons, including the Nuits de Fourvière, a highlight of Lyon's summer.
The Hôtel Carlton Lyon thus offers a refined, unpretentious setting where each moment can be tailored to your pace. Whether you're staying for one night or extending your visit, the establishment's warm and discreet atmosphere, combined with the city's cultural richness, provides a stay as comfortable as it is enriching.
