COLLEGE HOTEL, Lyon – A Smart Stay in the City
About the Hotel
School-Themed Rooms
All 40 rooms feature white floors and linens with a bright-red Eames Daw chair. Each room includes a flat-screen television embedded in a blackboard. Some rooms offer a balcony with panoramic views of Vieux Lyon, while others have a private terrace. Every floor has a 1960s fridge stocked with complimentary soft drinks.
Dining & Bar Options
A buffet breakfast with fresh bread, croissants, fruit, cheese, charcuterie, and eggs is served in the Cantine, which features book-filled shelves and vintage wooden school furniture. Barãgones, the South American-inspired bar, serves cocktails with charcuterie platters, nachos, and empanadas. Daniel et Denise restaurant is a 10-minute walk away at 36 rue Tramassac.
Library & Rooftop Terrace
The hotel has a well-stocked library with leather Chesterfield sofas. The rooftop terrace offers deck chairs, a gym area, lime-green Fermob chairs, and panoramic views of Vieux Lyon. Meeting rooms provide access to a garden terrace, a rare feature in this area.
Heart of Old Lyon
College Hotel is in Vieux Lyon, a UNESCO World Heritage site, surrounded by Renaissance-era mansions. It is a 5-minute walk from Musee Gadagne, Eglise Saint-Paul, and Cathedral Saint Jean Baptiste. The Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière is 1 km away, accessible via the Fourvière funicular.
Unique Art & Services
The hotel's 1930s Art Deco facade features 130 windows that light up in a changing color display at night, showcasing an installation by artist Pablo Reinoso. A vintage vaulting horse from 1914, sourced from a Paris-area school gym, adds to the decor. The hotel provides a drinking water fountain on the ground floor and uses bulk-purchased products to reduce packaging.
