Elegant inside and out

In 1893 Prosper Perrin was commissioned to design a grand hotel on Place Bellecour. Between 2003 and 2007 it underwent complete renovation by Pierre-Yves Rochon. Working on the concept of a Lyon residence in which tradition and modernity mix and mingle, he created a decor in harmonies of blue, the colour of royalty, and red, for a touch of boldness. Displayed throughout are souvenirs, collector's pieces, photos and family portraits.

Like a grand family residence

In the Salon Bleu are the reception and the concierge's station. Dedicated staff do their utmost to ensure their guests' well-being and comfort, of prime importance everywhere in the hotel where excellence is the rule. The hotel has 74 guestrooms, including 10 suites, located on five floors served by two lifts. Every amenity of a 4-star hotel is available to guests, as are services such as a business centre and conference Suite/room.

In the heart of a heritage-rich city

Nestled between the Rhone and the Saône rivers, Le Royal is situated on Place Bellecour, one of Europe's grandest squares. It marks the center of the city and is the perfect point of departure to discover Lyon's treasures, museums and shopping districts. Across the Bonaparte bridge lie the architecturally rich Vieux Lyon and its fascinating neighborhoods. Inscribed on the World Heritage List, Lyon is also a dynamic European city and host of numerous major cultural events.

A region famous for its gastronomy

In the dining room, Côté Cuisine, and in the music room, Côté Bellecour, the hotel offers menus with a true "home" touch. Dishes are created and prepared by the chefs and students of the Institut Paul Bocuse using quality products from select suppliers at the central food market, the Halles Paul Bocuse, and regional specialty products.
