"Unique and Spectacular" I just got back from my third stay at this hotel. It is one of my favorite hotels in the world. The location is excellent, the lobby is spectacular, and the concierge staff might be the best I have ever encountered. Unfortunately, they used to have an excellent restaurant, but the chef left recently to open his own place. My only caution is that the rooms are of a very unique style, and they vary in size and shape greatly. Personally I love the rooms, but I could see them not appealing to everybody. This is a unique, spectacular hotel. If you are into design and architecture, I highly recommend this property.

"Excellent choice for a romantic break" I can imagine that this hotel would not suit everybody, but it is perfect for a romantic weekend. If you want a big modern business hotel, a hotel with parking or a hotel with panoramic views, go elsewhere. But if you are looking for something with lots of character and a hotel with exceptional staff, then you will not be disappointed. The hotel is located on a pedestrian street in the old part of town, and is a conversion of a renaissance building. There is enough of interest in the surrounding streets (including good restaurants) to keep you busy for a few days, and the centre of Lyon is only a few minutes walk away, as is the hill of Fouviere. I brought my fiancee here for a surprise weekend break, and we both loved the renaissance architecture, including the stunning entrance courtyard (which also doubles as the restaurant). Earlier reviewers are right in saying that the rooms are dark and a bit uncoventional (ours overlooked the internal courtyard), but we found it to be very comfortable and cosy. Our only dining experience was Sunday brunch. Although this is expensive, the quality of the food will soon make you forget about the cost (but maybe not your waistline!). In summary, what makes this hotel exceptional is the quality of the staff. They are very professional, efficient, stylish and courteous. Of the 150+ hotels I have stayed in, the staff here are amongst the very best I've seen.
