Hotel de lujo de la firma IHG imponente de gran impacto visual, antiguamente era un Hospital público medieval que funcionó más de VIII siglos en la ciudad de Lyon. Cuenta con 143 habitaciones de categoría, ofreciendo en su fachada del frente, con casi 350 metros de largo una extraordinaria vista al Rodano. El mismo posee una gran variedad de opciones para disfutar su restaurante gourmet "Epona", jardines, pasillos interiores que conservan la arquitectura y colores de la epoca, spa de lujo, boutiques, el gran salón "Le Dôme", etc. Su resturant es muy calido, con excelente servicio al huesped, amabilidad absoluta y correcta atención. Su mesa muy bien presentada, con una lámpara de luz tenue. En el centro del gran hotel con techo en forma circular, de gran altura e impactante iluminación y decoración se encuentra un salón ideal para tomar un té, café ☕️ y/o cóctel🍸 donde la recomendación está en reservar una mesa ya que es difícil su accesibilidad. Su servicio es muy bueno y el lugar es impactante, muy recomendable si estás de paseo por esta ciudad.
