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!

One of the Old-School Hotels - La Tour Rose of Lyon

If you ever visit Lyon and you feel like choosing a hotel which should stand out from the rest, a special hotel, with a personality of its own, brimming with originality and charm, well, La Tour de Rose packs all this and much more.   

La Tour Rose – for a touch of romance
This hotel boasts an ideal location for tourists. That’s because when you’re a carefree tourist in a city like Lyon, with its 2000 year-long adventurous history, in what other place than in the Old Quarter, the Vieux Lyon, could you better immerse yourself in this unique atmosphere? You’ll find La Tour Rose right in the middle of an urban area where one can still fell the heart of the ancient town beating, a delicate tremor easily lost in other districts of the city, suffocated by the lifeless mechanical noise of modernity. But down on old Rue du Boeuf, in one of the enchanted chambers of the Tour Rose, perhaps you’ll be able to hear this age-old whisper and maybe you’ll see in your dreams  the streets and people of Lyon as they once were.

Sampling the best of Lyon’s cuisine

Lyon is a city where one breaths history at every step, a large, friendly city featuring a generous number of both deluxe restaurants and bistros. In other words, if you visit Lyon, it will charm your spirit as well as your stomach, as it unravels its architectural and gastronomical wonders before your very eyes.   

Enjoy without moderation
The best food in the world, that’s what you’ll find in Lyon; and what’s even better, even if you’ve got only a moderate bulge in your pocket, you can still keep abreast with fixed –price menus, these being quite reasonable, although, in the great restaurants, prices usually grow as the subtlety of the dishes “à la lyonnaise” increases. In this capital of French gastronomy, diversity and tradition go hand in hand when it comes to food, in addition to some exotic touches, always delicious. All along its history, the cuisine of Lyon has been an intriguing mixture of “bourgeois” culinary art and tradition, consecrated by the so-called “canuts” – workers in the ancient silk industry.
