Presentation

In Lyon, on the Presqu'île between the Rhône and Saône rivers, the Hôtel Silky is housed in a former textile merchant's residence. Behind its discreet facade lies a hotel steeped in history, with decor that pays homage to the city's silk heritage. From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere evokes the golden era of Lyon's textile trade, featuring decorative elements inspired by late 19th-century bourgeois homes. This unique identity gives the space a refined and warm tone, perfect for a gentle urban retreat.

The common areas are organized around a cozy and charming lobby. Original lighting fixtures, ornate moldings, and textile details create an ambiance that is both elegant and welcoming. The hotel doesn't aim to impress but instead makes you feel like you've entered a special place designed for the traveler's comfort, imbued with a certain idea of Lyonnaise art de vivre.

On the upper floors, the forty-six rooms reflect this same spirit with consistency. Some showcase soft tones and period details, while others favor a more minimalist approach. All rooms feature comfortable furnishings, quality bedding, a discreet workspace, and a courtesy tray for enjoying coffee or tea in peace. Some rooms also include a reading nook or a coffee machine, adding an extra touch of comfort. The bathrooms, modern and functional, are equipped with either a shower or bathtub, depending on the category.

Effective soundproofing and adjustable air conditioning allow guests to rest at their own pace. Whether traveling alone, as a couple, or with family, the hotel offers various configurations, including rooms that can accommodate up to four people. The style combines contemporary simplicity with classic details, striking a pleasant balance that avoids any sense of ostentation.

In the morning, a breakfast buffet is served in the dining room, offering a selection of sweet and savory items. The formula caters to both pastry lovers and those who prefer a more substantial meal. For guests in a hurry, an express option is also available. In the evening, the bar invites you to relax with an original concept: a selection of regional wines paired with local specialties, served between 6 PM and 8 PM. It's a simple and convivial way to continue exploring local flavors.

In terms of services, Hôtel Silky offers a 24/7 reception, luggage storage, free Wi-Fi throughout the property, and access to a computer station for occasional needs. The multilingual staff attentively ensures a smooth stay with discretion. Just a few steps away, a public parking lot makes it convenient for guests with vehicles—a valuable feature in this vibrant neighborhood.

The hotel is part of the HappyCulture collection, a network of establishments that share common comfort standards while cultivating their unique identities. This affiliation allows guests to enjoy certain services at other group hotels during a multi-stop stay. Hôtel Silky is also committed to sustainability: its environmental impact has been assessed according to ADEME criteria, earning it a C rating, reflecting careful management of water, energy, and sustainable procurement.

Thanks to its central location, you can easily reach the city's main shopping streets, several museums, the business district, and the Saône riverbanks on foot. Nearby metro and tram stations provide direct connections to more distant neighborhoods, train stations, and cultural hubs.

From the hotel, you can explore the traboules of Vieux Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, discover the slopes of Croix-Rousse once inhabited by silk workers, or browse the independent shops in the Ainay district. Place Bellecour, the Lyon Opera House, and the Museum of Fine Arts are just minutes away on foot.

If you are a food enthusiast, the traditional bouchons abound in the surrounding alleys. The neighborhood also offers a great culinary diversity, from contemporary bistros to Michelin-starred restaurants. For a sweet treat, several renowned patisseries are just steps away. And for an even more local experience, the Croix-Rousse or Place Carnot markets immerse you in the lively ambiance of daily Lyon life.

On the cultural side, the nearby Textile Museum is worth a visit to delve deeper into the theme of your stay. It tells the story of the region's textile heritage through a rich and often overlooked collection. Not far away, the Confluence Museum invites you to an architectural and scientific journey in a resolutely modern building on the banks of the Rhône.

For a moment of tranquility, the Parc de la Tête d'Or, accessible by transport or bike, offers a green setting ideal for a stroll, a boat ride, or simply relaxing in front of the exotic greenhouses. The Rhône's landscaped banks also provide a pleasant route to explore on foot or by bike from the Presqu'île.

Staying at Hôtel Silky means choosing a hotel with authentic charm, located in a vibrant and central neighborhood, in a building that tells a story without artifice. It’s also an opportunity to discover Lyon from a different perspective, through the lens of silk, subtle refinement, and the art of living.
