Accommodation - France - Lyon

 

In keeping with Lyon's standing as one of the few designated urban centers on the UNESCO World Heritage List, much of the better accommodation available falls under the classic designation. The distinct absence of modern designer hotels reflecting the city's somewhat conservative attitude and resistance to change.

Relative to Paris, the considerable array of grand hotels provide comfortable accommodation at surprisingly reasonable rates. Perhaps as a result of complacency, many are delightfully nostalgic, characterised throughout by an unmolested decor and a true sense of authenticity from a time when these hotels were grand in the true sense of the word.

Rooms are typically spacious, most having been sympathetically modernised to accommodate the needs of today's modern traveller. Peak season falls from May through September, although the impact on rates is mostly marginal. As always in France, any effort to assimilate with ones surrounds, notably with regard to language, will likely ensure a higher standard of service.
