7 Quai De Bondy, 69005 Lyon
On the peaceful banks of the Saône, between the ancient facades of the Saint-Paul district, a building with a noble silhouette catches the eye. Behind its Renaissance facade, the Le Phénix hotel unfolds a unique atmosphere, imbued with charm, understated elegance, and a certain French art of living. Its location, in the heart of Old Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, opens the door to a stay where history and contemporary comfort intersect at every moment.
Housed in a former 16th-century Florentine inn, Le Phénix has preserved the elegance of its origins while meeting the demands of modern comfort. In the vaulted entrance hall, period fireplaces, refined woodwork, and restored glasswork create an authentic decor, whose harmony is the result of careful renovation. The spaces are harmonious, the materials warm, and the common areas conducive to both relaxation and contemplation.
The hotel's 35 rooms reflect this commitment to a balance between heritage character and contemporary design. Each room is unique, displaying its own identity with soft tones, clean lines, a few vintage touches, and great attention to detail. Some offer direct views of the river and the rooftops of the old city, a quiet opening to the rhythms of Lyon to enjoy at any time of the day.
Whether for a romantic getaway or a solo escape, you will find a room suited to your plans among the available categories. The Solo, Classic, Superior, or Privilege rooms are distinguished by their size, layout, or orientation. All are equipped with air conditioning, high-speed Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom, and quality bedding designed for a restorative sleep.
In the superior categories, the space is more generous. Some rooms allow glimpses of the changing reflections of the Saône at sunrise. Others are arranged to comfortably accommodate families or business travelers. The soundproofing, natural light, and harmonious decor enhance the sense of calm as soon as you enter.
To extend this peaceful interlude, several lounges and relaxation spaces are available. Here, you can enjoy a moment of reading, a cup of tea, or a final drink before bedtime. The hotel's bar, discreet and cozy, invites you to enjoy its intimate ambiance, in keeping with the surrounding neighborhood.
Each morning, a breakfast buffet is offered with a selection of fresh, local, and seasonal products. The room, bathed in light, provides a pleasant setting to start the day. For added convenience, room service is also available, with no extra attention spared.
The restaurant Le Comptoir Phénix, open on weekdays for lunch, completes the experience. Its menu evolves with the seasons, highlighting local Lyonnais products. In the evening, the space can be privatized for events or custom meals, always with a spirit of refined conviviality.
The reception remains available at all times thanks to a 24/7 front desk. The attentive but unobtrusive staff efficiently respond to a wide range of requests, whether for tourist advice, reservations, or simple local information. Multilingual service, an elevator, luggage storage, and laundry services are also among the facilities provided.
For travelers with vehicles, private parking is available in close proximity to the establishment, upon reservation. This is a much-appreciated solution in a district where parking spaces are scarce. Business travelers, on the other hand, have access to an on-site business center, open around the clock, with a meeting room and a conference space.
From Le Phénix Hotel, it becomes easy to explore Lyon on foot. Place des Terreaux, the Museum of Fine Arts, and Rue de la République are all accessible within a few minutes' walk. The Fourvière hill, with its Roman ruins and iconic basilica, can also be reached on foot after a pleasant stroll along the slopes.
The cobblestone streets of Old Lyon, steeped in history, offer mysterious traboules as well as artisan shops, traditional bouchons, and lively cafes. Don’t miss the Saint-Jean Cathedral, the Gadagne Museum, or the landscaped banks of the Saône, ideal for a walk along the water.
Gastronomy enthusiasts will find several dining options nearby. For market cuisine, head to the Halles de la Martinière. For a more contemporary dinner, the Cour des Loges, just steps away, offers an inventive menu in an elegant setting. For a more casual experience, Bouchon Tupin will delight those curious about local recipes.
On the cultural side, the programs of the Théâtre des Célestins, the Opera, or the Musée des Confluences offer excellent outings. Throughout the year, numerous events animate the city: the Festival of Lights in December, the Nuits Sonores in spring, or the Tout l’Monde Dehors festival in summer.
Le Phénix Hotel embodies, in its own way, a certain idea of Lyonnais hospitality: exacting in its comfort, welcoming in its atmosphere, and deeply rooted in the city’s vibrant fabric. If you’re looking for a place to settle in with confidence while having easy access to Lyon’s treasures, this address is certainly worth your attention.
