Presentation

The address stands out initially for its discretion. A modest landing, a discreet entrance, an elevator at the center of an old stone staircase: Hôtel Foch does not seek to impress at first glance. However, once you step through the door, everything changes. The setting reveals a carefully maintained, understated charm where calm naturally prevails. In this residential neighborhood of the 6th arrondissement, known for its elegance and tranquility, this independent hotel offers a soothing and private atmosphere.

The establishment is housed in an old, listed building, which gives it a genuine personality. The contrast between the classic architecture of the premises and the contemporary simplicity of the decor creates a soft and pleasant ambiance. A few well-chosen decorative touches add warmth to the ensemble, without ever falling into over-the-top decorative effects. The entrance may be discreet, but the quality of service is consistent, with an attentive team available at the reception desk day and night.

Sixteen rooms make up this boutique-sized hotel, allowing each guest to enjoy a genuine sense of attention and tranquility. Each room has its own character, featuring understated tones, suitable furniture, and carefully selected elements. Some are designed for solo travelers, while others, more spacious, are perfect for a stay as a couple or with family. In every case, the feeling of intimacy and comfort takes precedence.

All rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with comfortable bedding, a flat-screen TV, a desk, and a safe. Wi-Fi is available free of charge, and the bathrooms are well-appointed, with robes, slippers, and hair dryers provided. An elevator facilitates access to the upper floors, though its small size may not suit all guests.

The breakfast buffet includes pastries, fresh and dried fruits, yogurts, cheeses, cold cuts, and other balanced options. You can enjoy it in the common lounge or in your room at no extra charge. This morning moment extends the peaceful atmosphere of the hotel and sets the tone for a good start to the day.

A bar is also available, discreet yet pleasant, where you can enjoy a drink while browsing a newspaper or simply relaxing. This simple and comfortable transit area reflects the spirit of the hotel: welcoming without ostentation but with care.

The staff is available to meet your needs at any time and can also assist with organizing your travels, booking a tour, or advising you on neighborhoods to explore. Luggage storage is available for early arrivals or late departures, and a private parking area, upon reservation, is offered nearby for guests arriving by car.

The hotel caters both to business travelers and those seeking to explore the city's cultural wealth. Its limited capacity makes it particularly suitable for those who favor calm and intimate settings over large, impersonal structures.

Hôtel Foch's location allows for easy access to Lyon's various districts. The nearest metro station is just a minute's walk away, enabling quick travel to the historic center, the Presqu'île, the train station, or the Cité Internationale. The banks of the Rhône are also within walking distance, as is the Parc de la Tête d'Or, a true green oasis in the city.

Art and history enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity of several iconic sites. The Musée des Beaux-Arts, housed in a former abbey, is about a fifteen-minute walk away. Its permanent collections and temporary exhibitions make it one of France's most renowned museums. Within the same area, the Opéra National de Lyon offers a varied program ranging from Baroque music to contemporary creations.

Crossing the Rhône, you'll quickly reach the narrow streets of Vieux Lyon, with its traboules, Renaissance façades, and artisan shops. The Basilica of Fourvière, accessible by funicular or on foot for the more motivated, offers an impressive panorama of the entire city.

For culture enthusiasts, several events punctuate the year in the surrounding areas, starting with the Biennale of Contemporary Art or concerts at the Lyon Auditorium. The Part-Dieu district, easily accessible, also hosts cultural institutions and art galleries in a more contemporary atmosphere.

By staying at Hôtel Foch, you enjoy a central and well-connected address, as well as a setting conducive to relaxation. The atmosphere of the premises, the discretion of the service, the comfort of the rooms, and the quality of the facilities meet the expectations of those seeking simplicity, calm, and precision.

This place is appreciated for what it is: a small, characterful hotel where time slows down, every detail is designed to make your stay easier, and you feel at ease from the very first moments.
