23 Cours Charlemagne, 69002 Lyon
The Charlemagne Hotel welcomes you to the south of Lyon's peninsula, in a neighborhood where industrial heritage meets bold contemporary architecture. Located just a five-minute walk from Lyon-Perrache station, you can easily access public transport, whether it's the metro or tramway. The location allows you to explore the city effortlessly, whether you're visiting for business or to discover Lyon's many facets.
Behind a modest facade, the atmosphere of the place reveals itself as soon as you enter. The modern furniture, carefully chosen materials, and play of light create a welcoming and elegant ambiance, reflecting the evolving neighborhood. The establishment is organized around two buildings connected by a large tree-lined terrace and an interior garden. This setting, both lively and peaceful, offers a refreshing break in the heart of the city.
The hotel's 117 rooms are designed in various styles, blending modern inspirations with more classic elements. Some overlook the Sainte-Blandine church, others the Cours Charlemagne or the flower-filled inner courtyard. In each room, the bedding is of high quality, the windows are well-insulated, and the amenities meet four-star standards: air conditioning, private bathroom, flat-screen TV, Wi-Fi connection, and for some rooms, a balcony to extend moments of relaxation.
The common areas contribute to the hotel's tranquil atmosphere. The outdoor terrace invites you to take a restful moment, drink in hand, away from the urban hustle and bustle. Whether you're staying for a night or a longer visit, this shared garden quickly becomes a familiar space, perfect for conversations, reading, or quiet contemplation.
For dining, the hotel houses a restaurant with a telling name, La Bibliothèque. In a refined setting, this venue offers dishes inspired by Lyon's gastronomic tradition. Regional products are highlighted in a menu that changes with the seasons. The bar, Le Mélèze, complements the offering with a selection of beverages to be enjoyed indoors or on the terrace, weather permitting.
Each morning, a generous and varied breakfast buffet is available. Here, you'll find local specialties that offer a taste of the region's rich culinary culture. Breakfast can be enjoyed in the designated room or in your own room, for a leisurely start to the day.
Business travelers appreciate the many facilities dedicated to meetings and events. The hotel features seven modular meeting rooms, as well as an amphitheater accommodating up to 121 people. Most of these spaces, open to the outdoors, encourage focus and interaction. They are equipped with comprehensive amenities to support all types of gatherings.
The hotel also offers a private screening room for professional use or leisure moments akin to a CineClub. This original initiative adds an unexpected dimension to the stay experience.
The staff provides continuous service, with a 24/7 reception, luggage storage, and concierge service to facilitate your visit. Room service is also available, along with dry cleaning services. Newspapers are provided, and the staff is attentive and approachable, according to feedback from previous guests.
The rooms are designed to meet various expectations: some feature a more contemporary decor, while others evoke a more traditional atmosphere. All prioritize brightness and comfort, with well-thought-out spaces and meticulous finishes.
The establishment does not offer rooms adapted for people with reduced mobility, but the team can direct affected travelers to a partner accommodation. This commitment to transparency reflects the attentive welcome extended to every visitor.
From the Charlemagne Hotel, you can easily reach several major points of interest. Within a fifteen-minute walk, the Textile Museum immerses you in the history of Lyon's silk industry. A few tram stops are enough to reach the Museum of Confluences, whose futuristic architecture houses captivating exhibitions on science, societies, and anthropology.
If you wish to explore the city on foot, Place Bellecour is just a twenty-minute walk away. From there, you can continue your stroll to the Saint-Jean district, the historic heart of Lyon. Its traboules, hidden courtyards, and cobbled streets offer a direct immersion into local history, with a still palpable medieval atmosphere.
A bit further uphill, Fourvière Hill invites you to discover the basilica of the same name, accessible via funicular. The panoramic view of the city from there is impressive, and the surrounding gardens provide a shaded retreat before descending back to the center.
For a different urban getaway, the Tête d'Or Park, with its tree-lined paths, free-access zoo, and large lake, offers a much-appreciated nature escape. Whether you choose to wander through the greenhouses or rent a paddle boat, this vast green space is an oxygen-filled bubble in the heart of the city.
The peninsula is brimming with architectural and cultural treasures: the Opera, the Célestins Theater, Place des Terreaux, as well as numerous galleries and exhibition spaces, all to be discovered during your walks. The Charlemagne Hotel provides an ideal starting point to explore Lyon's different faces, blending modernity and heritage.
This venue offers a comprehensive experience in a well-maintained setting within a rapidly evolving neighborhood. Accessible, comfortable, and welcoming, it supports you throughout your stay, whether for business or leisure.
