Those travelers who appreciate both the glories of the past and the innovation of the future will adore Lyon, home to the warm and welcoming Villa Florentine. Just two hours by train from Paris, the dynamic city provides a spectacular backdrop for signature Relais & Chateaux élan, beginning with a fusion of period furnishings and contemporary design aesthetics. Among the hotelâ€(TM)s many treasures is the Michelin-starred dining room, beautifully positioned in the original Trinity Convent and featuring a winter garden, summer terrace and panoramic views of the city.

Strong sense of history updated fully for the 21st century in this stunning hotel located in the old town. Fantastic views over the city from the terrace restaurant. Located close to the sites of Fourviere and the traboules of Vieux Lyon. Lovely rooftop pool and sauna as well. What's not to like?

What a truly magnificent hotel! The building itself was simply stunning, its history incredible too! The food supplied to our apartment was extremely generous particularly given daily breakfast was also included on top of that. The staff were highly professional. We travelled as a group of 7 including 4 young children. The team there went above and beyond in their hospitality. The concierge team helped us make all of our arrangements days before we had even arrived at the hotel! An exceptional place that we hope to return to as soon as possible.

Fantastic hotel. Sure the location is up the hill. If you can't walk, you can Uber/Cab. View is spectacular. The room is top notch. Well appointed and very comfortable. The service at the hotel is first class. Employees are great. They will book restaurant for you if you ask.

The hotel has great character, as do all the staff. You feel welcome from the start, with a history and tour of the hotel and an ever so helpful manager and concierge. I 100% recommend to anyone traveling to Lyon. Great breakfast, spa, room and service.

Villa Florentine is a beautiful hotel in a great part of Lyon; we loved being so close to the "old town" part of the city with its great authentic restaurants and shops. The service at the hotel was top notch. Every one was friendly and helpful from the General Manager on down. They greeted us with a couple of glasses of champagne and we felt very welcomed. We had dinner at the Michelin star Terrasses de Lyon. We had a fabulous dinner; we liked the chef's contemporary twists on classic Lyon cuisine such as Quenelle. The only reason I didn't give Villa Florentine a 5 instead of a 4 is we had a small problem with the temperature control in our room. In fairness, Lyon got a bit of an unexpected warm spell in October and the hotel and already turned off the AC. But our room got into the high 70 degrees F and the hotel said they could not turn the AC back on. The recommended solution was to open the french doors to our large deck, but Lyon also had a bit of a mosquito problem so we couldn't do that for long. I also didn't want critters running into our room in the middle of the night while we slept. We got through it, but with global warming I think the hotel has to prepare for unexpected warmth outside of the summer months.
