Grand Hotel Des Terreaux – A Favorite for Families in Lyon

The hotel houses an indoor relaxation pool set in a grotto-style cave, open year-round with a heated pool and a shallow end. Pool/beach towels are provided, and the area is accessible exclusively to hotel guests. A separate whirlpool is available, though guests note it matches the pool temperature.

Each of the 52 rooms is individually decorated, offering a unique stay with antique furnishings and Art Deco touches. Standard rooms feature air conditioning, soundproofing, and flat-screen TVs; some include a refrigerator or bathtub. The hotel provides a lift, family rooms, and non-smoking accommodations throughout.

Set in a 19th-century building on Lyon's Presqu'île, the hotel is 200 metres from Place des Terreaux and 350 metres from Hôtel de Ville Metro Station. Guests can walk to Vieux Lyon (500 metres) and Lyon Cathedral (900 metres), with the Museum of Fine Arts directly opposite. A supermarket is located across the street, and public parking (Parking des Terreaux) is a 2-minute walk away.

A buffet breakfast is served daily in the dining room or in-room upon request, with a reduced rate of EUR 8 for children aged 7-11. The hotel bar stays open until 1 AM and offers wine/champagne, a snack bar, and special diet menus. Breakfast can also be ordered as an express option for EUR 7.

The 24-hour front desk provides concierge service, express check-in/out, and luggage storage. Babysitting/child services and family-sized rooms are available for guests with children. Additional services include daily housekeeping, dry cleaning, laundry, and bike tours (live sport events are also offered).
