Lookout Over Lyon
Situated on top of the Fourviere Hill, this hotel not only has a magnificent location in Vieux Lyon, but also boasts some of the best views of the city. To reach the main part of the historic district, guests can walk or take a three-minute funicular ride down. From there, you can reach most major sights, great restaurants, and unique boutiques on foot. Guests loved the hotel's immediate area because it is quiet, as there are no main roads nearby.
positive:
Modern Monastery
This is definitely a unique hotel, housed in what used to be a former convent. The building has been nicely remodelled and provides a chic mix of the old with the new. The lobby looks almost like a church, and is the first thing that guests notice, and the rooms are described as modern minimalist. You'll also find lots of interesting art work throughout the property.

Place to Relax
Make sure to take a trip to the spa. Guests loved the onsite wellness facilities, especially the steam room, Jacuzzi, and the large pools. The in-room walk-in shower was also a delight after a long day.
