In terms of dining, the hotel houses the restaurant "À pas de Loup," where chef Julian Orduna Campos reinvents French cuisine by infusing it with international influences. Originally from Mexico, he creates a creative and sincere menu, crafted from fresh products, mostly sourced locally. At lunchtime or in the evening, you can enjoy a variety of dishes, blending local inspirations and carefully mastered spicy flavors.
In the morning, a buffet breakfast is offered, featuring a wide selection of hot dishes, pastries, fresh fruits, and hot beverages. During the day, you can also enjoy the bar and landscaped terrace, ideal for relaxing with a coffee or cocktail.

A private covered garage, with charging stations for electric vehicles, is available for an additional fee, subject to availability. This practical detail is a plus for visitors with vehicles, complemented by the hotel's excellent public transport connections, especially for those who wish to avoid using a car in the city.
The hotel is entirely non-smoking, welcomes pets, and has a 24-hour reception, with staff available to meet your needs or guide you during your stay. Additional services, such as luggage storage, a business center, or a small convenience store, enhance the offer.
The Gorge de Loup district, where the hotel is located, serves as an efficient starting point for exploring the city. You can quickly access the banks of the Saône, the traboules of Old Lyon, the Fourvière hill, or the cobbled streets of the Saint-Jean district. From the nearby metro station, the Presqu’île can be reached in just a few minutes, offering a blend of Lyon's heritage and its major shopping streets.
During your stay, don't miss visiting the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière, overlooking the city from its hilltop. The panoramic view it offers is well worth the climb. Lyon is also home to numerous museums: the Museum of Fine Arts, housed in a former abbey, boasts a rich collection ranging from Antiquity to modern art. The Gadagne Museum, dedicated to the city's history and puppetry, immerses visitors of all ages in the world of Guignol.
For contemporary art enthusiasts, La Sucrière and the Biennale are must-see events, as are the temporary exhibitions at the Bullukian Foundation. If you are traveling in December, the city lights up for the famous Festival of Lights, a major event that attracts visitors from around the world.
The Halles Paul Bocuse, just a few metro stops away, will allow you to extend your Lyon culinary experience with a gourmet stroll among regional products. A visit to this temple of gastronomy will provide a delightful interlude, meeting the region's best artisans.
