American Hospitality with a French touch – the 5 star Hilton Lyon

This proud member of the Hilton hotel chain provides the very best in matters of comfort and entertainment; accommodations, services, food, meetings, city guides – the 5-star Hilton Lyon takes these to new levels of quality, as one might expect from a brand born way-back in 1943.  

Natural and cosmopolite
With a view on the Rhône and a short distance from the Palais des Congrès, this hotel is a short walk away from the main attractions and the business center of Lyon. Even if some visitors tend to criticize its being somewhat far from the actual city, there are a great number of buses (arriving at intervals of 10 minutes) that link up with the underground and enable tourists to easily reach the city, even long after midnight. In fact, this is the most beautiful district of Lyon, and the Hilton has a wonderful park with a lake near it, which makes the rooms with views on the river or on the park a must-stay-at!

Situated in an exceptional environment, between the borders of the Rhône and the Parc de la Tête d’Or, the Hilton Lyon melds seamlessly into the architectural fabric of the Cité internationale, as its immediate surroundings are home to the Musée d’Art contemporain, the Interpol HQ, a cinema complex and, soon to come, a casino.

Simplicity, modernity, luxury and entertainment
The hotel features 16 meeting rooms, 1 executive hall, 1 business center, 201 large rooms (between 32 and 54 square meters) and 13 suites with all the comfort trimmings that make the ingredients of a relaxing and pleasant stay; they all have balconies with views on either the park or the river, really spacious bathrooms with separated shower and bathtub, air conditioning and heating individually tuned, mini-bar, safety-box with personal code, modem port, interactive satellite TV, Internet connection with infrared keyboard, room service available at any hour. As a modern and daring initiative, all 13 suites come with 106 cm plasma screens. Situated at the 7th and 8th floors, the Executive rooms offer easy access to the Fitness center and the “Club Lounge” private salon where you can get a continental-style breakfast, beverages, snacks and a selection of the international press.

Each room has a separated salon, a desk with an ergonomic chair and a large pouffe  armchair for you to sink in and relax while watching the TV on a 64 cm screen.

The suites, covering a surface of 45 square meters, have a separated salon and workspace, a bathroom with a large bathtub, TV and access to an executive lounge (equipped with fax and videoconference facilities) where you can have a free breakfast and use the wireless Internet connection. Well lighted and aired, with rich and warm colors, featuring an extra-large bed or two twin beds, a sofa and a soft bathrobe, interior decorations of a contemporary style, the suites can easily host two persons in a deluxe and comfortable ambience.  

In addition to all these facilities, the deluxe and executive rooms also offer you free access to the fitness center.

You’re sure to have your hands full: water games area, organized trips, bike rental service, jogging or walking track, playground, zoo, jacuzzi, sauna, gym, sunbathing on the terrace, or maybe you’re itching to test your luck at the casino which can be found right on the premises, with its 250 gambling machines.  

A gastronomical mix for the delight of your palate
You have gourmand type choices at your disposal when it comes to food at the Hilton Lyon. You can sample the royal Thai cuisine of the Blue Elephant restaurant or the international one of the La Brasserie restaurant, each of these establishments being open until 11 in the evening. The Blue Elephant, an exotic and unique imitation of a Thai village in the heart of Lyon, with an abundance of luxurious plants and flowers, will charm you with its traditional welcome. Refinement and inventiveness, these are the main ingredients of more than fifty Thai dishes, spices and aromatic plants.    

The Brasserie Belge, warm and convivial, features a high-quality cuisine with roots in the Belgian culinary tradition, especially famous for its “brunchs du dimanche”. The rotisserie products or the crawfish cappuccino, you can savor them in the open, on the private terrace of the hotel.  

Eager for a snack? Go for the Hilton hamburger, have a tasty glass of wine or tonic gin in the cozy bar down the hall. Excellent and complete services, polite staff, diverse facilities, comfort and modern accommodations, a wide range of entertainment venues, location allowing for easy access to the city as well as to the near-by attractions, a reasonable balance between price and quality: the Hilton Lyon is the hotel where you will enjoy your stay at the maximum.
