Lyon and related destinations

Between the Rhône and Saône rivers, Lyon's old town reveals traboules - secret passageways once used by silk merchants. The Museum of Fine Arts houses treasures in a former abbey, while Lyon National Opera dazzles in a modernist glass dome. At Les Halles food market, sample pink praline tarts and Beaujolais from nearby vineyards. The hilltop Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière offers panoramic views worth the climb. Discover Roman ruins at Lugdunum before dining in a traditional bouchon where chefs transform simple ingredients into culinary art. The Musée des Confluences resembles a floating crystal at the rivers' meeting point - much like Lyon itself, where past and future flow together.

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

Fourvière Hôtel Lyon

8/10 Good
"Overall good place to stay for two nights visit to Lyon. On top of the city with easy access to the old town and nearby attractions. Very convenient two bedroom suite layout nicely furnished for the family of four. The shower is a bit awkward but that is just a comment. A/C was not working well enough so it was rather warm At night and in tbd morning i figured it out as air filter was completely clogged. That is something hotel should pay attention to. Good restaurant with professional and pleasant waiters. The breakfast is quite good and reasonably priced even though we Hen we were checking in we were said that breakfast is included but it came out later that it was not. Indeed it was not shown in the free perks of VIP access for expedia customers but it was strange to be said that it is free and then that it is not. Pool, and spa area: We were with two kids and couples in the pool kind of shocked our kids from going into the pool as they were acting too expressively what is probably normal for French, I do not know but it made us very uncomfortable."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Lyon

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Lyon in February, April, or August is a superb option for travellers on a budget, as hotels may offer lower prices during these months. For those looking for affordable and great value for money experiences, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration is ideal for exploring the city's rich heritage, including its museums, theatres, cathedrals, historical sites, shopping areas, dining venues, churches, and family-friendly attractions. Enjoy Lyon's unique blend of culture and history while making the most of your budget.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Discover discounted hotel rates to Lyon on Hotels.com by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window section, where you may find savings close to your travel date. For even more timely offers, check the Last-Minute Deals section and enable email alerts or push notifications, so you're more likely to see flash sales and special promotions. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app lets you compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you stay informed if rooms become available or prices drop for a last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year. Flexibility with your dates could help you save on your stay in a Lyon hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels might offer a more personalised touch and potentially better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest more affordable dates, which could help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Remaining closer to key attractions or city centres might offer convenience but usually comes with higher costs. For more affordable rates, consider hotels in less central areas or neighbourhoods, balancing price with ease of access to the places you plan to visit. You might also explore independent hotels further afield, which can often provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
